Here is a comprehensive look at the DIY overland pull-out kitchen/sleep platform I built for my Subaru Forester. In the first 9 minutes of the video, I show you all the features and details of the completed build, and then for the remainder of the video, I show you the build process starting from the beginning. The kitchen pull-out includes a stove, work surface, and storage for pans/dishes & cooking supplies. My build also includes running water, pull-out cooler access, and a sleeping platform.
This is NOT a How-To video. I'm not qualified to instruct you on how to build anything. I'm just showing you what I did. There are probably better techniques, tools, and materials for everything I did here. But this is what I came up with based on the tools I have, inexpensive, readily-available materials, and my amateurish skills. :-)
A huge shout-out to ‪@ThirdCoastCraftsman‬ whose truck drawer video provided inspiration and guidance for my design. I watched a ton of videos to gather ideas, but this straightforward approach resonated the most with me. While I strayed from his design somewhat, I still referred to this video over and over to help me visualize what I needed to do to make my build come together:

What I got from this video which is more important to me than the details on the kitchen (which is impressive) was a look at how you use your ingenuity to solve little problems during your build (like not having a table saw to rip the drawers).

We've always found that submersible pumps tend to be quieter as they tend to be further away and are "buried" in water. The smallest Whale moves over 10l/min and the largest over 15 which I think is enough. We've only used them in caravan's though. We've then found the inline filters work really well and would fasten to the side of your platform.

Don, you used the word "amateurish" but I would trust you doing a job for me. I love how you took your time and when mistakes were made you learned from them. Unfortunately, my '17 Jeep Compass has a spare tire compartment towards the rear end of the cargo floor which is spacious enough to store a large amount of gear along with the spare; including folding snow shovel, folding military survival shovel, couple of Silky saws, survival kits (fire and dedicated survival), recovery gear, portable battery jumper, recovery strap, car cleaning kit, etc. My recovery tracks are mounted underneath the roof top cargo basket. After watching your Gazelle T3 video I ordered one from Amazon ($230 after taxes) and will have it on Friday, just in time for the governor's pardon and get outta jail declaration. I'm excited to use it as my Coleman is a little too small even being a two person tent. I enjoyed this DIY and it gave me a couple storage ideas. BTW I saw the short photo of one of your camp set ups and that's how I set up as well. The space between the tent door and the end of my Jeep is covered by an Aqua Quest 10X10 tarp helping to keep the tent clean and dry, easy access to gear in the vehicle, space for my table, chair, stove and UCO fire/BBQ pit. Flooring is provided with a 9X7 tatami mat I bought at Walmart for $25. I also use a privacy tent on one side of the Jeep for a porta-potti and shower set up. This was a great set up during a heavy rainstorm just before lock down.
@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest 4 года назад
That spacious spare tire compartment carrying all that gear doesn't sound unfortunate to me! :-) I have my DIY awning mounted to the rear of my car to provide protection to the kitchen and yeah, it's perfect to set the door of the tent up underneath the outer edge for a complete living space out of the rain or snow. Even just on a cold night with no precipitation, I find it's a touch less chilly in that space. My car load-in is so maxed out though now that I'm not sure I can squeeze another item in there. A commenter on the tent video suggested a moving blanket for the floor...I might give that a try, as I usually pack an extra thick blanket on cold camping trips anyway, so I could replace that with a moving blanket to use on the floor, and it would serve double-duty as an emergency extra layer if my sleeping bag wasn't cutting it to keep me warm. Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! :-)

I have a 2013 Outback and you've given me a lot of inspiration to get out and explore more of Colorado than I already have. I hope you keep putting out more episodes and if you ever make it out to Colorado give me a shout sometime!

So, I keep forgetting to comment on this video. I ended up making a pull out camp kitchen like this one with a bed on top for our little one. I did it a little over a year ago and it has held up great and been so useful! Thank you so much for this video, it helped me visualize how to make what we needed and how it looked completed.

@MrCujo1
@MrCujo1 4 года назад
As a 3rd gen Forester owner, and a soft-roader, your page is specially applicable to me. You continually give me inspiration on how to set up the car for me and Mrs. Cujo...And you seem like one helluva great guy. We ESPECIALLY like the budget conscious, and imaginative ways you find the solutions for your needs, because that is our world also. No shame in not being a master woodworker -- you have done the research and what you are doing is working great! Well done and kudos on you for moving forward. Keep up the good work -- Stay safe, wash your hands, and hope to see you on the trail someday if you ever come to Georgia. :) Also - because you mentioned it, adding a bit to strengthen the stove opening is a good idea. Look for a piece of aluminium angle that will span the opening plus a few inches on each end. Wrap the angle over the top edge of the side of the drawer and have it drop down over the side. (perhaps inside the drawer if open/close clearance is an issue) -- Alternate method would be to put the angle on the inside bottom with plenty of extra metal on each end of the opening, but I personally believe that the top approach would be better. Pre-drill, add your screws, and it should be a huge help. Also-Also --- I am a huge fan on not spending money on drawer slides, so, if you want the drawer slides to work a lil' smoother, rub in a healthy application of paste furniture wax to the friction surfaces of the cooler slide, the floor of the main box, and the bottom of the big drawer. Cheers and keep up the fantastic work !!
@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest 4 года назад
I did rub paraffin wax on all the wood-on-wood sliding bits...I knew I forgot to mention something! Thanks for the suggestions on the drawer reinforcement. I was picturing some kind of flat metal strapping and hadn't thought of using angled metal...that's a better idea for sure, I think that would be stronger. Thank you!

@prepperjonpnw6482 2 года назад
@@VKSgtSLaughter the things he does apply to more than just other Subaru’s. I have a Ram 1500 crew cab with the short bed and a camper shell over it. I find a lot of what he’s doing applies to my build as well. I built my own false deck with two really long drawers that are basically 1/2 the width of the bed minus the wheel wells. I didn’t want to spend the atrocious amount of money that 5’ft drawer slides cost so I ordered this particular kind of hard plastic that has a special rating that I cant think if right now lol but it makes the plastic slide super slick over any surface. It has to do with the way the molecules are so dense that there’s no friction when it slides back and forth. I’ll track down the invoice and come back here to post it in a couple of days. This stuff is amazing and its super thin with no moving parts yet it slides like a greased pig at the county fair! lol maybe better! lol Anyways, my point is most everything he is showing is what I did to my truck before I found his channel way back when he only had a few hundred subs lol. Now he’s all big and important lol but he never forgets the little guys like us lol.

The carpet looks good, love the paper towels, good that you have a backseat available so Colin can go too. Counntersinking bits are available, not too expensive and you'll use it all the time. Great project. I want a rear kitchen for my van, but I can't make something like that work. I'm planning a counter that fits between the 2 back doors when open. I worked out an "awning" that fits over the back doors for cover/shade (its really a waterproof crib mattress pad). I hope camping opens up soon. Take care.

I am very late seeing this video but it is timeless. I see a couple of things that I can use for my Wrangler. The ice chest slide out idea would be perfect for me. I keep my ice chest in the Jeep all the time so that when we go to the grocery store or overlanding I have a cooler to keep food cold. I use my Jeep for hunting and don't want the ice chest in it while I am camping for a week or two. It looks like I could remove the whole thing easily and save space for that elk I killed. Thanks for the ideas.

First off, really enjoyed this video! I drive a Tacoma and not a Forester, and yet I still watched the entire video, just enjoying the craftsmanship and creativity. Some of your ideas regarding workarounds, such as using the speed square to make straight cuts without a table saw were pretty ingenious. Overall, I think I enjoyed watching because I really respected your humility; and yet, I found it simultaneously a little uncalled for - it's kindof funny how those who have humility tend to lack confidence. Sometimes it seems that confidence is lacking in those who deserve it the most. I really hope that you can read these comments and experience a boost to your confidence as this is a fantastic, clever, and impressively functional build. A thought I had on that 12v pump that I figured I'd offer as a suggestion. If you have any of the camping mat that you cut off to fit the platform left over you might cut a small square to put under the pump, between the pump and the wood. If you screw down the pump with the camp mat in between the wood and the pump it may give just that little bit of padding to stave off noise from the vibrations, and wouldn't even be very visible from beneath the pump. Thank you for sharing and good luck on your adventures!
@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest 3 года назад
Thank you for the kind words. I watch a lot of How To videos on RU-vid made by truly skilled craftsmen/women, and my work looks truly amateurish in comparison, so sometimes I feel a little silly putting my projects on RU-vid. Plus, invariably, some people take inspiration from my stuff and build their own and do a 100% better job than mine was, haha. I just want people to understand that I'm always winging it and don't necessarily know the best ways to accomplish various tasks. I ultimately did exactly that with the pump...I used some leftover camping mat as a cushion between the pump and the wood, and in fact I also constructed a little "box" of the same foam to enclose the pump as well. It did help knock the noise down a notch, though I could never really get it quiet enough to run at 6am while co-campers were still sleeping. I finally started just making sure to fill my coffeepot with water before going to bed so I could brew my morning joe without waking anyone up. :-)

Outstanding work, Donald! I was thoroughly impressed with your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I'm looking forward to watching some overlanding videos with your new configuration in place!
