  • Are you an adventure seeker? Do you love camping and roadtrips? Have you always wanted a camper but can’t justify having a recreational vehicle on the side?
    This is your chance to own the best of both worlds. A do-everything adventure SUV that can also be used for your daily needs around town.
    The best part is it has been built from one of the most reliable luxury SUV’s to ever hit the market - and this specific Suburban is one of the best examples you’ll find anywhere. Second owner, low miles, stellar mechanical condition, almost no exterior blemishes, no ‘check engine’ codes, all repairs up to date, and totally unique.
    Only had 2 owners and the vehicle only has 130,000 miles.
    Please see auction on Ebay:
    The vehicle is also for sale locally

    There was a time back in the late 1970's/early 1980's when a custom Suburban could be ordered with a raised roof. I "think" the manufacturer was Chattanooga Customs. All six seats were captain's chairs. Pretty sweet for the day.
    I need a raised roof on whatever vehicle I decide to convert. I've always loved the Suburbans and for younger folks it has great RV potential, particularly if 4x4! What a nice set up on this vehicle.

  • @switchpathbyamypreston5428
    @switchpathbyamypreston5428 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Love this set up. SUGGESTION: I would love to see the kitchen side built on a SLIDE! That way, it can slide out of the back fully to cook outside in good weather, then be stowed by sliding back in for travel or use in bad weather. I got this idea from a lady who did her suv that way, but hers is not accessible from inside. ALSO, my suburban is an '02 and has 267+k miles and still runs great! Someone will get lots of use out of this rig!

      And, I'd do the reverse on the layout with my stove by back door for better exhaust..in my van I have it by the side barn doors for the same reason for when I cook in my van..but that's a great cooktop!

    A few thoughts: 1st Screens on velcro over windows, 2nd HD Power wire from the Engine Bay, MOUNT THE BATTERY and shielded inverter there so no gas fumes in Cab ... carbon monoxide wont catch these, 3rd I agree with the kitchen on a slide out tray with telescoping legs for adjustable support on uneven ground, 4th Outdoor top mounted wrap around fan out style awning for shade, 5th I often wondered why no-one has mounted a solar panel inside one of those large windows versus the roof? Just my food for thought. Love the foot pump and ABS heating / pressurized pipe, its works well. : )

    I am just wondering if you would build this set up to sell for someone that wants to use in their own rig. This is an amazing build. I love the indoor kitchen. I too think that it being on a slide out would be nice, but not necessary. I can tell that you are a fine craftsman and everything is well thought out and just works. I currently have a 01 sequoia and use it for overlanding but am wanting to go with the suburban because of the volume inside the vehicle and how capable they are when the have the G80 rear end. My son just purchased an 04 2500 with the 8.1L and its a beast. but the 5.3 is all one needs for overlanding. You have created the ultimate rig. I just became a new subscriber to your channel. Looking forward to more of your awesome videos.

    If you are going to camp for a couple of weeks or more, I could see going to this extent but for two or three nights at a time, you can get away with just the bed with bins to store the outside cooking equipment and maybe a trailer hitch carrier. K.I.S.S. I'm doing that with a Tahoe so I'm not driving a long Suburban the other 330 days I'm not camping.
