Great build, just wondering why you have the second battery in the vehicle vs. Under the hood? The Suburban is built to hold two batteries under the hood, as that is how I have my house battery.
The second battery is fed from the solar panel, and it’s primarily used to power the fridge and our devices inside, not as a backup for the vehicle (although we can jump ourselves using it if needed).
The one who did the electric system for you is very honest always get twice what you need now to avoid upgrade in the future because, upgrading electric system cost a lot more than doing it right at first time. I'm electrician
@@NorelleandDanny Cool. I'm researching for my first overlanding vehicle. I like the Tahoe over the Suburban, because of breakover and departure angles, but I thought the Tahoe would be too short to sleep in. This is good info. Thanks.
We kept some in the rooftop bag, with the more valuable tools in the drawers under our bed (they run almost the full length of the bed so they're like 5 ft long).
It's pretty much the obvious choices... 1) Park/Stay in a stop that has some sort of toilet. 2) If there's no toilet, there's probably not other people camping near by, so they don't say "Nature is calling" for nothing... and 3) in stealth situations without a toilet near by... um, yeah... It's about what you'd imagine. But it's surprisingly easier than you might think... except for #2... ya gotta scout / know your body.
Hey would it be possible to share the route that you guys took and what you hit up along the way? I've been thinking about doing something similar with a build from SUBOVERLAND as well.
Hey Christopher, So far we're about 5 months in and we've published 43 episodes of our journey so far. Check out our channel and subscribe if you like them.
We carry drinking water in the cabin, a 3 gallon jug fits under the lip of the bed and two gallons fit behind the pantry (later updated, in 2nd video)and are secured in. We tried a 5 gallon bladder at first, but found the jugs are the best option.
woman dream I love to travel but did not meet the man my soul mate who will share with me this joy.. I wish you a lot of joy I wish you health in the first place and wish you that all your dreams and goals come true )))
I like the gooder air circulation 👍
Hi I have Suboverlander 41 nice to see your channel!
Very cool, perfect for long trips!
This is so flippin' cool Danny and Norelle! I can't wait to follow your adventures. We could have seriously used one of these on our long drives.
So far so good... camping outside of mammoth lakes right now
I have a 2005 Tahoe I think I’m going to try something like that. That is amazing
Safe journeys, Guys!
Thanks!! Subscribe, cuz we’ve got a lot of videos in the queue! :-) is hi to Gabe for us!
Would love to do this to highlander hybrid
Im 6”2 would I fit in a similar bed? Been looking for a suburban camper built
Great job with the buildout. Wonder if these guys could do the same to a Ford Expedition EL.
The Suboverland team is fantastic, and they probably can!

Do you have a mechanism to open the rear hatch from the inside? My '03 Z71 is a giant pita to get out of when you close that hatch.
We don't, but that's never really been a problem for us since we typically only use the side doors. It would certainly be useful, though!
Amazing Machine!
How much are the builds? And where is the shop location? I have a 2004 Suburban 4x4..
Dave ours was the San package, they’re in twin falls ID... www.suboverland.com/
The price listed includes the vehicle, Grady will do a custom price if you bring him one

So a mattress will lay flat with the back seats folded down?
Yup! :-)

Very nice, how much did it cost?
Hi Sal! Thanks. The original build was around $13,500 (including the vehicle).
Where do you put tools if you break down?
We kept some in the rooftop bag, with the more valuable tools in the drawers under our bed (they run almost the full length of the bed so they're like 5 ft long).
Nice video 👍👍👍
Thanks!!
You shared the shower, what about toilet?
It's pretty much the obvious choices... 1) Park/Stay in a stop that has some sort of toilet. 2) If there's no toilet, there's probably not other people camping near by, so they don't say "Nature is calling" for nothing... and 3) in stealth situations without a toilet near by... um, yeah...

Great video, but..."gooder air circulation" :P just teasing
She said " good air..air circulation".

What fridge is that
It's a Dometic center console refrigerator
What year and model is your vehicle?
It’s a 2004 Chevy Suburban Z71 1500
Norelle and Danny Thank you for answering my question.
No mention of drinking water storage.
We carry drinking water in the cabin, a 3 gallon jug fits under the lip of the bed and two gallons fit behind the pantry (later updated, in 2nd video)and are secured in. We tried a 5 gallon bladder at first, but found the jugs are the best option.
