emlclcy Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I don't own a Subaru but go camping quite regular, my current car has rubbish ground clearance. I was thinking of a Forester but after looking at one the other day there is not much room to sleep in the back with the seats down Is the outback the same or are there 'estate' versions to look for?

Greenmamba Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 You can. Back seats down in my OB gets a nearly flat stretch of nearly 6ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The load bay/sleeping space would need someone owning one of those to comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenmamba Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 They are scarce. If you're ever near Chigwell you are welcome to see mine (for size, it's not for sale)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emlclcy Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 thanks for the offer, i'm in hampshire so a bit of a trek! which one do you have? is there a saloon & estate version? cheers carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
