Subaru Forester Sleeping Platform & Camper Conversion Kit

Efficient functional design with excellent craftsmanship

I absolutely love the Compass Camper conversion in my Subaru Forester. Here are a few highlights: Excellent rock solid craftsmanship. It also looks great especially with the “Native” drawer faces. My version has a custom rear seat delete with a platform for two small fridges beneath the sleeping platform. No off the shelf seat deletes are available for the Forester that I’m aware of and I was concerned about asking someone to do one. I thought they would be reluctant to do it at all or would charge a lot for the custom work. To my surprise Anthony seemed delighted to take on the challenge and charged a very reasonable amount for the custom work. He was a pleasure to work with and came up with some great ideas that made it better then what I’d originally envisioned. You can never have too much horizontal space. The drawer false tops and tables really add function and efficiency to the design With my previous setup (seats folded down & air mattress in the back) I had to pull out quite a bit of camping gear and leave it outside the vehicle in order to have room to sleep. With the new setup I am able to sleep in the car with all of my gear inside the car. On a recent trip it rained several times at night and I was thankful that all my gear stayed dry and clean. Camp setup is now ridiculously fast – all I have to do is move the front seats forward a bit and I’m ready to crawl in bed. My camp kitchen set up is now more efficient and quicker to deploy as well. It can easily be removed and and returned to stock if need be. The main part is held in with four turnbuckles and the custom seat delete is held in with two bolts. I also highly recommend the optional Roam Rest mattress. It fits the platform perfectly and is amazingly comfortable for how thin it is.

Dream come true!

I am beyond happy with my compass camper! The craftsmanship is next level and the communication was top tier. I am so glad I went with this company instead of doing a dyi build.

More comfortable and organized plus AMAZING customer service

I am 5'8" and I have not been able to sleep fully stretched out, toes pointed, in a car until I got this platform. Just having my sleeping pad in my Forester's cargo area with the seats down before was still too cramped with how the front seats would have to be. Now with this design the space above my backseat's footwell is utilized as well and I can sleep truly comfortably, side by side with my partner. The drawers in the back and the space under the platform in the middle of the car provide nice space for easily accessed organized compartments. I've gone on one 2 week road trip so far with this set up and I'm looking forward to many more to come. I also want to say that in the process of ordering this platform I had a bunch of weird constraints with needing to delay pickup by several weeks due to uncertainty with my schedule and Anthony would respond to my emails usually within just a few hours and was accommodating in every way to hold the platform as long as I needed and coordinating with me when I was ready to pick it up. I honestly can't say I've had a better customer service experience than the one I did working with Anthony on this.
