I have a Coleman 5 day cooler. It might go 5 days with block ice, but with regular bags of ice it lasts a bit over 3. Can't afford the yeti coolers. Put a cover made of Reflextic over it and that gave me another day. I agree with having limited fresh food when it is really hot.

I am just starting out and my options for cat/house sitters did not work out so I took my first li g trip with my cat last week. She had a carrier she could stand up in and lay down in and rode in that while we were driving. She liked walking around in the car and looking out the windows which...

I live in Alaska and it is unlikely you will be able to have access to email every day unless you stay near towns. I spent last summer traveling around Alaska and often had no cell service. I am driving out on the AlCan this fall and expect to have some days with no cell service. I work...

Check out Christopher Chase on YouTube. He takes out seats and makes good storage. I have a 2016 forester and when I folded the back seats down, it measured 71 inches from back of passenger seat to back door. I am not small but 30 inch wide camping foam mattress worked well for me.

I am a fan of Subaru. Live in Alaska and it is reliable and can get through some tough weather. I made my 2016 Forester into a camper for me and my dog last summer. Very comfortable sleeping. Cot sized bed down one side and built a cabinet down the other. Cooked on pull out table in back.

Thanks!

I am planning to leave alaska next fall and head towards Arizona and Southern California. I have a friend who lives near me and we will probably travel together through Canada. She has a camper van but I am traveling in my converted Subaru. I am feeling vulnerable about boondocking alone so...

I am thinking the southwest. I have friends in that area so you mix aline time with visits.

I converted my Forester without a platform. I made a small raised area at the back so my head and feet were level. I made a pull out table under this foot area. With the seats in but folded down and my mattress I could stretch out and sort of sit up but it was still a bit of a recline. I was...

Hello. I wrote a post earlier to you so if the is a duplicate sorry. I am a couple years younger but feeling much of what you expressed. Now or never. I too have a Subaru and last summer made some modifications and went on the road with my dog to see if I liked it. I really loved it so now I am...

My forester conversion. Continuing to improve for next trip.

TooFarGone, first I have to say I do not think your name fits your story at least the way I see it! I too am planning to hit the road in my Subaru. I did a bit of a conversion last summer and traveled with my dog. It worked great. I live in Alaska. Born here. And am now thinking I would like to...

I am thinking southwest. California and Arizona. I drove through the desert near Salton Sea and saw a lot of vans there.

I live in alaska. Canada border was closed for a while but my plan is to head south next fall and spend the winter Outside.
