    I have a 2014 crosstrek and the luno life mattress. I love the set up. I slept on one half of this mattress for over 30 days straight while traveling the country. Very comfortable considering its an air mattress.

      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.

      @renevas2 Před 4 lety +3

      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.

    • @julesweiss6950
      @julesweiss6950 Před 4 lety +2

      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

      @renevas2 Před 4 lety +2

      ​@@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

    I'm definitely looking into one of these. I'm a backpacker and tent sleeper but I also use my vehicle as a basecamp and a nice comfortable basecamp option at the end of a long backpacking trip to recoup would be very nice. Pair this with an awning and you have a mobile fortress. Great video!

    Biggest pros for this mattress seem to be the ability to inflate only one side, it's compact when not in use, and it's custom fit for the vehicle. I do think it would be cool if Luno Life let you purchase just a set for one side. That would be a better option for solo campers and reduce extra cost. Overall its a nice option if you don't mind spending some money for the features offered.

    Hi Rick.
    Another of your great videos! Informative as always! Thanks for the research to find another comfortable way to sleep in your Crosstrek. With other equipment you may need to take with you on an overnight expedition, the blowup mattress is a great space-saving idea and may be more comfortable than a thin foam mattress.
    Its design looks to be a great fit allowing you to make adjustments for extra comfort if required; and if extra space is needed, the opportunity to only use one side is another plus for this mattress.
    Thanks, Rick, for working yet another way to get out and enjoy the outdoors with your mighty Crosstrek!
    Cheers my friend,
    CFDU,
    Martin

      @@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.

      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.

    Rick, thanks for introducing me to this! I just got a Crosstrek and will definitely be using it to go car camping. Question: Can you leave the hatch/lift gate open on the Crosstrek for extended periods of time without any battery drain? I've seen a lot of complaints from Ascent owners about dead batteries after sleeping in their Ascent with the hatch open. I was going to buy one of those awning tents that attach to the back, but this could be a huge design flaw that makes me re-think how I'll have to camp in this.

    • @AZdroptop
      @AZdroptop  Před 4 lety +1

      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.

Even if they can’t make it flat because of the all wheel drive or something else, we feel they should at least offer a rubber insert for the cargo area to fill it in and bring it up to the height of the back of the rear seats.

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 think something's wrong with mine. Each extension block and each mattress side takes more than 5 minutes to have any semblance of inflation. Even after that, they are all flabby and I'm never able to inflate to a decent level of firmness.
      For example if I sit upright on the mattress, all the air will move out from under me such that I can feel all the bumps of the hard surface that I'm lying on, and I can't inflate the mattress enough for that not to happen. I'll be contacting Luno support on this.

      I got it figured out. The printed instructions incorrectly said to use the middle of the three small attachments for the pump. You shouldn't use ANY of the small attachments for the pump, just go with the default large attachment.

    I have a five door (hatchback) subaru 2020 impreza model. Would this Luno Air Mattress work like in the crosstrek?

      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 know it's a stupid question.
    does this fit in Forester?

    • @AZdroptop
      @AZdroptop  Před 3 lety

      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!

    May I ask...which way is up? ...in this video, Rick set the Luno with the gap in the middle. On the Luno website, they place the gap DOWN. Or does it not really matter...just preference?

    • @AZdroptop
      @AZdroptop  Před 3 lety

      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.
