SUV camping in a Chevrolet Suburban utilizing easy no build camper conversion!

[@WrathofPharaoh]

Excellent ideas. I've been planning on using my 2005 Suburban for a trip across the country, and thought I'd camp in it instead of staying in hotels. I'm definitely going to try the 17 gallon bins.

[@SuburbanCamping]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scramjet4610]

I like this way much better than the platform approach. Thanks for this excellent video. Great actionable instructions.

[@SuburbanCamping]

Thank you very much!

[@bernardberben4852]

STOOOOPPP. your making me miss our old suburban 😂😐😭

[@SuburbanCamping]

I am sure there is another one out there with your name on it!

[@Raymasseyus]

Thanks for an extremely informative and entertaining Channel. So much of what you say about the Suburban applies to my 07 Classic Silverado with cap. So much of your general camping and organizing information is great. Thank you!

[@SuburbanCamping]

Thank you so much! It is a lot of work to produce these videos, so comments like yours inspire me to keep at it!

[@Raymasseyus]

@@SuburbanCamping You have the total package: vehicle, skills, and camping vids.

[@florindagonzalez5700]

Le gasp, I didnt even consider using those mesh stretchy things as vertical storage!!! Win!

[@SuburbanCamping]

Glad I could help! Just keep in mind they need to be nice and tight. I just had to re-tighten mine.

Cargo carrier is in the way amd swing doors are better if youre over 5’5 a pop tent is easier than that thing, yellow totes everywhere make you look like a horder

[@SuburbanCamping]

I appreciate your perspective

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

Have looked into a driver protection cage wall behind your drivers seat? God forbid you’re ever in a traffic accident, if that heavy stuff hits you.

[@SuburbanCamping]

Very good point! I will make this point on the safety page on my website. I currently use ratcheting cargo bars behind the driver seat, but they are not permanently connected, so I will research a solution.

[@RuffTymesBob]

Have you ever gotten pulled over because your license plate is blocked by the rack? I have so I always move the plate to the rack.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Interesting, I always thought a suburban would make a good camper 😁

[@SuburbanCamping]

Thanks for the comment!

[@TB-fk8ho]

Really nice and helpful video. Where were you camping?

[@SuburbanCamping]

Thank you so much! I was camping on the Deschutes River at Trout Creek BLM campground.

[@porvida2630]

Right on man! Get them fancy fools in the convertibles! Question…what are you investing in?

[@SuburbanCamping]

Thanks! Not sure on answer to your question. Stocks? 😀.

There is a photo of your back hatch open with the hitch cargo carrier attached. There doesnt seem to be enough room for the hatch to open with the carrier attached. Please advise.

[@SuburbanCamping]

Hello Marvin. Correct, you need to fold the hitch cargo carrier down to open and close the hatch. Sometimes, I leave it up with the hatch open as I use the cargo carrier as a kitchen.

[@WeekendWarrior604]

@ 7:31 you mentioned using your rear window as an exit... I have a 2002 GMC Yukon and have yet to figure how to open the hatch or window from the inside 🤔

[@SuburbanCamping]

Hello KN. Thanks for the comment. There is no latch to open the rear hatch from the inside - not sure how they got away with that when it comes to safety standards! So, I always keep the rear window popped and propped and I will either go out the window, or lean out the window and open the rear hatch. I usually just place a rag over the latch, so it can't fully close. There is a hack where you can cut a hole to make a latch on the inside, but I don't plan on doing that.

[@WeekendWarrior604]

@@SuburbanCamping thanks for the clarification 🤙 Good idea with the rug

[@flynnsylvest257]

do you have a truly flat sleeping surface this way, or do I need to use a plywood platform for an even sleeping surface? thanks!

[@SuburbanCamping]

It truly is totally flat!

[@kevinswinyer3176]

Where did you find your double stack hitch rack ? I could use one for my needs on my SUV.

[@SuburbanCamping]

Hello Kevin. You will find info on my SUV gear on this page at my website: www.suburbancamping.com/suv-gear

[@calebwilson4442]

What kind of cooler is that? I have 60s coleman that's been great but it's time for a replacement and that looks identical but red. Thanks ahead of time

[@SuburbanCamping]

Hello Caleb. It is a Coleman Steel Belted Cooler. Yes, basically the same style they have had for many years. You can find links to all my gear here...www.suburbancamping.com/camping-gear

[@richardmontgomery851]

Where did you get the netting for the rear windows? I have a 2004 Suburban and have been camping out of it for 15 years. Those nets are a great idea!

[@SuburbanCamping]

Hello Richard. Thanks for watching and for the comment. If you visit my website, you can view all the gear I use. Here is the link to the page: www.suburbancamping.com/camping-gear

[@SuburbanCamping]

And, given your extensive experience, I would love to get some tips from you!

[@hmfem3656]

What's the Suburban's gas/gal mileage? Thanks.

[@SuburbanCamping]

Well, I have always been afraid to calculate it! I believe it is probably 15-18 miles per gallon. Let's just say I have another more economical vehicle to drive when I am not out exploring and camping! Thanks for the question!

[@GKASEY1424]

Put gas bottle up top?

[@SuburbanCamping]

Yes...it is chained and strapped to cargo rack.

[@Wicked_RotF30]

My “magic flaps” are missing in my suburban

[@SuburbanCamping]

Bummer! Hope you can find replacements.

[@marvinsmith1393]

Please disregard last comment request. Problem solved. Thank you

[@SuburbanCamping]

Got it. Thanks. You are welcome!
