Day 26: 30 Days Living in My Car – 17 Months of Subaru Forester Mods for Full-Time Living

Welcome to Day 26 of my 30 Days Living in My Car series! In today’s episode, I’m breaking down 17 months of Subaru Forester upgrades that have completely transformed how I live and travel full-time. From power to comfort to off-grid reliability, these mods have made car life smoother, safer, and way more efficient.
In this video, I walk through all the biggest improvements I’ve added to my Forester, including:

🔋 Solar panels that keep my batteries charged while camping off-grid
📡 Starlink for reliable internet anywhere, perfect for remote work and uploading videos
🌤️ Open Road 180º Car awning that creates instant shade, shelter, and living space outside the car
🔧 Rallitek suspension upgrades that improved ride height, handling, and overall durability on rough roads

Whether you’re planning your own car-life setup, building a road-trip vehicle, or upgrading your Subaru Forester for full-time travel, this video is packed with real-world insights after almost a year and a half on the road.
