FAQs

  • Yes, the camper's dimensions account for the slight incline of the folded down back seats to create a flat bed platform. The support for the bed extension is a specific height based on your vehicle's measurements.
  • Yes! The bed extension can be detached from the trunk frame and slid into the trunk. Then, you can raise your back seats.  It's easy to keep the camper installed full-time and not lose any functionality of your vehicle for daily driving.
  • Depends on which model car you have. In total, they range from about 75-100lbs for kits with drawers, and about 45lbs for the kits without drawers.
  • I can ship anywhere in the lower 48 states. For full Kits with drawers, it costs a flat rate of $500.  I load the camper in a padded custom box, then strap it to a pallet.  It is shipped via freight shipping service.  They use forklifts and semi-trucks to transport the unit.  This is the safest way to ship large items by far. *Contact me about shipping to Canada*
  • For bed platforms without drawers, it costs $175, and comes flat-packed and shipped via UPS.
  • Absolutely! We are located in Bend, Oregon. Select 'Pick Up' at checkout.  We will then coordinate a time and date. I will install it for you on site, show you how to operate it, and answer any questions you might have.
  • The drawer slides range from a load rating of 250-300lbs when fully extended, although the plywood drawers can roughly handle about 50 lbs on each drawer comfortably. Make sure the trunk frame is secured tightly to your car so the extended drawers do not tilt when loaded.
  • Yes! You do not need to take the camper out of your vehicle to access your spare tire. Simply unhook all four turnbuckles from your anchor points, then slide the trunk frame over your folded down back seats to expose the spare tire area under the trunk.

I was searching for a way to camp better in my Subaru crosstrek and I came across compass camper- couldn’t be happier that I did. Car camping has never been more innovative with how he’s building his product. It feels so good to be able to just pull up to any camp location, extend the bed platform and headrest, and be ready to knock out for the night in a matter of minutes without having to set up a roof tent or regular tent. Just get a mattress pad and you’re set. As someone who takes frequent road trips, it’s a must have/ life saver. Drawer slides make it just that much easier too. 10/10 if you have an SUV it’s such a great thing

Anthony is a true craftsman who obviously based his design on his own experience with his camper build. I bought the camper for my 2019 Outback with the table and split bed options. Solid construction. I used it the night I picked it up and it was very functional. I was going to build my own but the advantage of having a lighter weight aluminum frame dissuaded me. Well worth the investment!

I bought a camper from Anthony and couldn't be happier. His attention to detail and use of quality materials make these campers the best product for the price. I drove to his shop to get mine installed and I'm glad I did. He installed it quickly and ensured the correct fit. I'm a climber and a skiier and use it on all of my trips. I cook and camp out of my subaru and couldn't do it efficiently without the drawers that slide out under the bed. It keeps me organized so I don't have to shuffle things around when I'm ready to sleep. I am so happy to have this setup. It's a game changer.

Just got back from my first trip with the Compass Camper and it was fantastic. 24F temperatures can be uncomfortable in a ground tent, but I was cozy in my Outback. I love the storage that this gives me. Anthony is super responsive to emails and makes a very nice product, very easy to do business with. I can't recommend this enough.

About

Starting with a passion for experiencing North America through a Subaru, the perfect car camper was born. My name is Anthony, and I have an obsession with creating tools to make the traveling lifestyle more convenient, organized, reliable, and stylish. Incorporating all of these ideas is what birthed the Compass Camper. I now work full time, building customer's dream campers, and my passion for carpentry fuels the process.

When I am not in my shop building, you can catch me at Oregon's climbing areas, ski hills, and camping along the way. My lifestyle is the perfect testament to prove how useful and practical these campers can be!
