Why Badlands works so well in the Subaru Forester
The Subaru Forester is basically made for outdoorsy weekends—easy to drive, easy to park, and capable on mountain roads. The problem is that “sleeping in your Forester” usually turns into the same chaos: air mattress on the floor, gear stacked everywhere, and cooking supplies buried in bags.
Badlands fixes that by giving your Forester a complete, repeatable interior layout. Instead of piecing together random gear, you get a compact system that includes your bed setup (yes, it functions as an SUV sleeping platform), plus storage and a kitchen—so you can leave faster and camp more often.
PRODUCT FEATURES + DIMENSIONS — Badlands for Subaru Forester
Badlands is a plug & play camper conversion box. It comes fully assembled and can be installed in 5 minutes or less.
All-in-one: kitchen + bed + storage in one compact design
This is not a sleeping platform-only setup. Badlands integrates:
- A stable bed setup (SUV sleeping platform)
- Built-in storage to keep gear organized
- An integrated kitchen module for simple meals and faster cleanup
…all in one footprint, so your Forester stays clean and functional.
Spacious bed dimensions
- Bed size: 48” wide x 6 ft long
- Optional mattress: 3” thick, graded for 7 years of daily use
Low-profile design (more headroom)
Badlands is intentionally low-profile to give you more headroom and usable interior space inside your Forester.
Doubles as a trunk drawer when you’re not camping
When you’re back in daily-driver mode, the main box can stay in your Forester as a trunk drawer—perfect for daily gear, groceries, tools, or adventure essentials.
SUV minimum trunk space requirement
Minimum trunk space required: 40” W x 30” D
What this full kit makes easier
- Faster setup and pack-up (less friction = more trips)
- Your sleeping area stays clear because storage is built in
- Cooking is simpler because the kitchen is part of the system
- A clean, repeatable layout you can trust every trip
If you’ve been searching for a Subaru Forester camper conversion kit that feels complete (not pieced together), Badlands is built for that.
