The Best way to sleep in your Crosstrek? 

Very cool! That is great to hear.

Jules Weiss Exactly. Investing in a durable air mattress like this one that is custom made to fit the vehicle seems like the best options for extended periods of travel.

It seems great for one person. Have you used it with two people? I'm a bit unsure where I'd put all of our gear, even with a roof rack. Big cooler full of food can't stay outside and seats would be too far up.

renevas2 i’ve only used it solo and I’m very minimalistic with my camping so never found storage space to be an issue. If you need to carry alot of stuff that you don’t want to keep outside once you’ve set up camp than car camping isn’t for you, tent sounds more suitable

​@@julesweiss6950 Yeah I have done a lot of tent camping and backpacking but am interested in the more comfy/climate-controlled option for car camping with the wife, especially during covid. Might be able to make it work with the roof box. Thanks for the reply

Yes indeed! And a little easier to carry :)

Yup... "Pop!"

Definitely! Sweet idea on their part for sure.

Thank you very much and best of luck. It is a great product and the Luno 2.0 is out now. The coupon code will still give you 10 percent off if you decide to pick one up.

That's great to hear Samatha, so sorry about the coupon code mishap on my part. I bet luno life would credit you if you sent them an email. Happy camping out there!

Awesome! I am very impressed with the design and quality. Very well thought out and executed.

Awesome. Glad it was helpful

Glad I could help! Don't forget the coupon code in the description! It is good on pretty much everything except bundles. Have fun!

You are very welcome and thank you for taking the time to watch along. It seems to be a very nice set up for sure.

Awesome. Congratulations!

Well said Kyle. I will let them know your suggestion about the one side only set up. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Thank you John! Much appreciated. It is a nice little set up and very nice quality.

Coming soon! 😃👍🏻

Awesome! Best of luck with it.

My pleasure. It really is a great option and really easy set up.

They are a nice little set up for sure!

Thanks so much. Have fun with your Crosstrek and thank you for watching.

LOL Dave! Funny stuff. :) It is a great little set up and I agree on the white noise. I always sleep with a fan on at home and work. I even have an app with ambient noise for when no fan is available.

@@AZdroptop Rick I also have in my bedroom 2 20 inch box fans by Lasko made 6 miles away in West Chester, PA. I can't sleep w/o them. Last year on my road trip to AL I even brought a fan with me for the white noise. If anyone saw me they probably thought I was nuts!

ha ha. Good man.

Luno life did a really nice job design wise for sure!

Thank you. It is a great little set up and works really well. They have a 2.0 version now that has a few upgrades.

:) I accidentally called it something else when I filmed the video.... and of course everything was torn down already so...ha ha

you mean Subaru Levorg

2012 subaru sti hatchback😀/ USDM /

Hi Martin, thank you kind sir! It is a really nice set up, design and execution for sure...all very well though out. It might even work as a comfortable way to sleep in a tent. :) Cheers my friend, hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Thanks so much!

Not the first time I have been told that LOL. :) foam mattress will work.

Was it the WELLAX one from Amazon? I use that in the back of my outback and it works great. If not, which are you using?

@Bobby Brady you can fold one up, then use a vacuum storage bag with a small hand pump and it'll take up about the same space as a deflated air mattress

iLoganC a little more work definitely worth the savings.

I bought one for $20 at Fred Meyer

Nice!

Thank you. I used the blocks in my Crosstrek, it not when I use the mattress in the Jeep. Thank you for watching .

Thank you Patrick!

Hello Jessie! Thank you for watching from France. It looks like Luno life does make the mattress for your Outback. I do not know however if they ship to Europe? Here is a link to the 2008 Outback. lunolife.com/products/signature-air-mattress? They have great customer service and will respond quickly if you email them. Best of luck.

Awesome! Use HUTTON15 for 15% off if you decide to buy one. Thank you for watching.

Thanks for sharing!

That is a great idea! Let me know how it works out.

@@AZdroptop Hi, Rick! Seems like it should work out well. However, our campsite starting raining hard, so I didn't have time to inflate the Luno Life mattress! :P Us doggies just climbed in the back and slept on a camping pad and some blankets. However, while the Igloo BMX coolers did fit properly, they lean at an awkward angle, since they are resting on the floor tracks that the two front seats ride on. So, I need to figure out maybe a three inch thick wooden "T-shape" gizmo...to stabilize the coolers. Also, there is a gap between the coolers...so i tossed some gear there. One serious issue...that would be remedied by the Luno Life mattress...is the gap between the folded down rear seats...and the rear doors. While I was asleep, one of my dogs slid backward into that open gap. He was alright, but I fear he could have been squeezed and suffocated in that space. Especially if he had slid face-first. :( I must get a solution to that.

Bummer about the rain, but hopefully you still had a good time getting out. Sorry about your dog getting stuck in there and glad he was ok!

Thank you for watching. It is a great little set up!

Thank you! It’s a sweet set up! Make sure to save the 15% if you get one! HUTTON15.

Do you feel the difference in floor level from the cargo area to on to the seat back?

Not on the short time I was laying on there and filming, but I will have a better idea once I sleep on it over night...Hoping to get out tomorrow night so I will do an update video.

Hi Tony, thank you very much! I have looked at them a few times and might consider one after I retire from the Fire department in two years when I hope to get out camping more regularly. They are not cheap, but look like a great option for sure!

Thank you! Cheers.

Hi Dan, the window screen is a good idea, but I have not looked into them as of yet. Portapottie is the bushes unless I'm at a camp site. :)

Thank you for watching!

Nick thank you! Very cool. enjoy. Hoping to try mine out in the 'wild' in a couple days.

Nice Chris. I think you will really like it.

@@AZdroptop I'm currently lying in the back of my car on a therm a rest pad wishing id stumbled upon your video sooner. My current set up isn't bad but yours looks infinitely better.

Awesome Chris. Let me know what you think once you try it out. I did a follow up video as well after sleeping on it for the first time. It really is a great set up and I am normally not a fan of air mattresses, but they did a really nice job on this set up from design to execution. Here is the follow up if you are interested. Cheers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m-lUNT9XvPg.html

Thanks Lee, I haven't seen the other one, but this set up is well done.

The thing I think I like most is they don't feel "like plastic" The covering takes away some of the normal air mattress feel. They are also easy to adjust with the comfort valve, a nice feature when you are already in bed trying to sleep. You probably saw in the video there are two separate sections of the mattress so you can choose to inflate just one side or adjust each side to a different amount of air. And they are easy to deflate and store away. I have personally not had good luck with your basic air mattress over the years so this is a bit of a revelation for me. :) Hope that helps and thanks for watching along.

Kurt, I didn't either until Channing posted a couple of weeks ago. Good stuff! Being pretty tall, do you think you would fit in your Forester? I am really ready for camping now. ;)

@@AZdroptop The mattress for the Forester is 6' 6" long, so in theory, I would fit!

Nice! I know you are more of a hammock guy, but maybe for a back up?

That is correct Christian, unless you are just using the mattress as a single and have it on the passenger side...you could possibly get away with it that way, but the seat would be a bit goofy for seeing out the passenger side I think.

Thank you Deb! You hit the nail on the head there my friend. :) How did you know camping is not normally her cup of tea. She was even excited about the sleeping platform...she is not a fan of tents....Have a great weekend Deb!

Rick, Happy Wife, Happy Life 😉

Amen sister. :)

I generally bring a small tent along in case I need it for just this situation. If not raining I put it up on top of the car.

Thank you Anna, great tip.

It has gone up the past year, but it is a quality piece that works great. It really all depends on your comfort level and what you need to achieve it. 1 yoga mats would definitely not do it for me. :)

Hi Mark, thank you very much. Very cool that you ordered up the system and happy to help out. The folks over at Luno Life seem super cool.

Hi,, and congratulations on your new Crosstrek. We are seriously blessed to have so many awesome places to explore around here. Send me an email sometime and I'll give you a heads up when Trent and I are getting together for a drive. As for lift install I'm not honestly sure. I know Desert Rat does a ton of suspension and lift installs, but I have not used them personally. I'l'll check and see if I can come up with a place for you. The ADF lift looks like a good one. I am still planning on doing the LPAventure 1.5 here soon...Thanks for checking in and have fun!

Thank you. I’m pretty stoked, moving slowly with the mods, but for sure when I’m done you’ll know it’s no one else’s :) Absolutely will drop you an email. Talk to you soon.

Awesome.

Sorry Richard, I'm not a professional reviewer...just sharing my experiences with the Crosstrek. :) I didn't go into detail on issues like that until I had a chance to get out and actually camping with the mattress. Here is the follow up video that you can check out if you are interested. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m-lUNT9XvPg.html In a nutshell you can feel it a little bit, but the mattress does a pretty good job hiding it. In my follow up video I make a plywood piece for the rear section to help "hide" it even more. I also have another video where I make a full sleeping platform out of plywood. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g3n0JQxQgWM.html Hope that helps. and thank you for watching.

Hi Alex, no foam inside. It is super easy to get the air out and get it back in the bag. The valves on the mattress are really good. I open the valves, fold it over and roll it once. That's pretty much it and it goes back in the bag. As for feel, to me it feels better than a standard air mattress. It isn't completely different...its still an air mattress, but it is definitely better. Throw down a nice blanket over it and it helps.

Hi Ed, thank you my friend. It is a really nice set up they have come up with!

Gracias Jose! Cheers

Saludos Bobby

@Bobby Brady Hello Bobby👍

Thank you Kenneth. They are great mattresses and super comfortable.

So far on my short trips with camping gear I have placed them under the car at night or on the roof. Another option is to throw up a small tent and keep it out of the weather in there.

Thank you! It is a nice little set up.

Hi Antonio, I just checked their vehicle line up and it looks like it is out of stock. Here is the link if you want to contact them to see when it will be available. Currently they are offering $50 off for Black Friday until Monday which is better than my HUTTON15 code.lunolife.com/products/signature-air-mattress

Hi Chris, thank you! I went in the side door actually. It is a bummer that there isn't a release on the door to make life easy. :) Hope you enjoy the 2.0! I haven't had the chance to try one out yet.

@@AZdroptop Thanks Rick... appreciate the input. If I can figure out a way to close the rear lift gate from the inside, I will just use the trunk release on the keyfob to get out.

Thank you for watching! The coupon code is good so no worries there. I did use it one night while camping and it was great. You can find my review here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m-lUNT9XvPg.html I didn't crack the window when I went...it was kind of chilly, but my windows fogged up quite a bit. :)

Hi Paula, it should work with no issues. They are currently selling the second round of the 2.0 and they are available very soon. HUTTON10 for 10% off if you order. Have fun.

I hear ya, but I can see where car functionality on a day to day basis would be the focus. The camper shell on the other hand is not a good thing to be missing in an emergency.

Hi John, The mattress itself does not account for the seat slope, but with the mattress I don't find it as noticeable. If it really bothers you check out my sleeping platform video as I used a piece of 3/4 plywood to try and reduce the slope. Best of luck and thank you for watching. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g3n0JQxQgWM.html

Thank you! Awesome, the Crosstrek is a great car camping companion...have fun.

Hi Dawn, The mattress does a pretty good job of masking the uneven floor, but it is still noticeable. I have been using it without anything under it though so it isn't bad. Storing your stuff can be an issue. I either put it on top of the car in a bin, or underneath. I have heard others bringing along a small tent to keep some of their gear as well.

@@AZdroptop thanks. Good tips there. I appreciate the reply.

Happy to help and best of luck

Hi Michelle, not available as in out of stock? It should be the same one that fits my 18? The coupon code should still be good to use if you do end up buying it. It is a great set up. Looks like it is out of stock. It might be because they have the 2.0 model coming soon so keep your eyes open for that.

Hi Nick, I have not slept with it open personally, but the light in the back can be turned off so I can't see why it would drain the battery over night? My buddy Trent has the Ascent and was just talking about how the battery dies . :) He just pulls the fuse now. When my son get's home later with the car I will check it out closer and let you know what I find. LunoLife just came out with the 2.0 for the same price and my discount is now 10% instead of 15 just fyi. HUTTON10

@@AZdroptop Thanks, looking forward to seeing what you find with the car! And awesome, I'm hoping to buy it in the next week or so, was checking out the 2.0 last night.

@@AZdroptop and from what I've seen from the forums is that opening any door (including the hatch) "wakes up" the computer in the car and slowly drains the battery while open (it uses about 4 amps when left open). I just bought a new base model that doesn't have the automatic power gate, so it may not even apply to me anyway, but definitely curious!

Interesting. My son was home and then off again so I will check it out as soon as possible. I know the light will go off on it's own after awhile, but I don't know if it still drains the battery? Will sill see if I can find out somehow.

Hey Nick, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. My son and I have been missing each other so I couldn't get to the car. I went out and opened the hatch to see what would light up on the info screen up front. It shows the rear hatch is open but turned off in about 5 minutes...I didn't set a timer and got distracted. :) Anyway, I didn't see any other indication that the car was draining the battery so I think you should be good to go if you turn off the hatch light.

Awesome. And congrats on the new Sport! I think you will enjoy the mattress. Just found out prices are going up in January. This code will work for 10% off. NEWYEAR10 My code does not work anymore. Cheers

@@AZdroptop t-minus 17 days before I pull the trigger on ordering my crosstrek and I still 100% plan on ordering one of these once the car is in my hands. I am also planning on getting some aftermarket tint on the windows to help make sleeping in the car less vulnerable:)

Hi Annie, unfortunately with my roof mounted bike racks I can't fit a box up there with out taking them off, but I have looked a bunch at the Thule large box. :) Would be awesome for sure.

Hi Bonnie, I don't remember the exact length of it....Luno says they fit a person up to 6'2"s tall. Personally I would say anyone over 6" would have to sleep just a bit sideways to fit on it comfortably in a Crosstrek. Not sure if I mentioned its length in the video or not? Sorry about that. You will need to move both seats forward so it fits the space.

Not a stupid question. They do make one for the Forester and my guess is it is the same one. They have a 2.0 model now that has some nice improvements. The coupon code mentioned in the video description still works if you decide to buy one. Have fun!

I am 5'9. Luno life says up to 6'1, but he may have to lay just a bit sideways.

Hi Eugene, lunolife.com use code HUTTON15 for 15% off. Enjoy. It is a sweet set up!

You should be able to buy it at lunolife.com. I believe they ship to Canada.

Thank you Rick..

Bill, great minds think alike. I was sooooo close to putting Napoleon's Liger picture in the video. I mean, I even had the photo ready. :) Wasn't sure about copyright stuff so I left it out. Cheers

Hi Ashley, I can not remember the exact length, but Is at least 6 feet long. It fits from the very back of the car to the front seats when pushed all the way forward. I'll check when I get home and see if I can come up with a more specific size for you. I am 5' 9"s tall and fit with no issue, but I think over about 6' you would have to lay at a slight angle.

@@AZdroptop Awesome, thanks so much! Trying to figure out how to make this work with my boyfriend who is 6'6... Help? LOL

@@AZdroptop I was thinking maybe a hatch camping tent if he's too long for us to close the door? Tall people problems...

Each mattress is about 60 to 70 secs and each block maybe 30 seconds? Moving the seats, pulling the kit out of the bag, plugging in the air pump...all together about 5 minutes.

I think so yes. I am 5' 9"s and my wife is 5'3 "s and we fit. It isn't huge by any means, but doable for sure.

Luno Life says it will fit someone up to 6'2". Sorry, I have not measured it, but I am 5'9"s

Mike, thank you! Much appreciated. I believe the Lunolife2 is coming out very soon and the discount code should still work. I am just not sure when they will be in. The mattress is great and my wife and your wife sound similar! :)

Rick Hutton Rick! Yeah I noticed that it wasn’t yet available after checking the link. I’ll def use the promo code for sure though when/if it becomes available. And will surely grab one. Last year we had an 1100 or so pound mom and her cub walk by at dinner (in the poconos) and that kind freaked my wife out. I can’t say it didn’t freak me out a little bit as well lol so yes sleeping in the car will make convincing ny wife to go camping EVERY weekend easier rofl.

Wow! That could have been a youtube sensation if you had your camera rolling. :) I bet it was scary and amazing all at once. Have you seen the video of the guy sitting by the river in Alaska? A giant grizzly walks up, sits down and kind of hangs out for awhile. It was pretty amazing. Once you get the mattress and try it out let me know what you think of it. Have fun!

Rick Hutton You aint kidding lol. I do wish we had the cameras rolling. Side note, what’s interesting is that we were on state park camp grounds, which have all the elements for bear to roll on through. At the privately owned more “party camp grounds” people play music all night, are loud etc. and I think bear are afraid or at least deterred. On the state grounds they have a sort if curfew and rules about sounds after a certain time. I think what’s happened it that the bear are now conditioned to know that all they have to do is walk through, people drop all of their food, get in their cars, then the bear just grab up all of the food and do it again the next day 🤣 yeah definitely excited about the bed though cant wait, hopefully this current madness doesn’t slow up the release, although it likely will I’d bet. Anyhow cheers! Keep up the great vids we love them!

That is a great story! :) I hope the bed isn't delayed as well. Best of luck with everything and give me a shout when you finally get it. Cheers!

Hey Levi, I am 5''9's. Cheers

Hi i Robby, I am sorry for the slow reply, RU-vid is not showing messages like they used to. I am 5'9"s and I have a couple of inches of room left over. At 6' 2" you would have to lay at a slight angle even with the seats moved all the way forward.

Yep. It will still work!

@@AZdroptop Awesome, thank you!

May 15th is the release day if you had not heard. :)

It does not, but with the mattress it is not as noticeable. I can still feel the slight decline, but it isn't super obvious to me anyway.

I am 5'9's. Thank you for watching.

You can use it either way. Sleeping with 2 it is probably better to have the gap down, but either way works. Thanks much for watching.

@@AZdroptop Thank you for your reply!! I just purchased a Crosstrek...so your videos are a great help as I figure out what to do with it. :)

Thank you so much 😀
