Just a suggestion, off of Amazon offers a set of two window Screens, that you leave on, window up or down, and they're blacked out, about $18. I have a 2003 H2, with a loft bed up 20" and 18 CF storage under bed, with a utility platform on the roof with solar and water. Solar charger, and kitchen inside!
I started a job out of state and slept in the back of my H3 Mon-Thursday for about two months. Wasn't as bad as you'd think. I would park in the company lot after everyone left and wake up early, go get breakfast then come back and take a shower in our company locker room after the boss opened up. No one from work even knew it. I slept on an air mattress but it took up much more space than this. Totally thought about building something similar. Good job.
@@pennycrypto8386 Sorry for responding so late, but I am unable to make any more in my current situation. There are a few more videos like this one that show different ways you can build your own though
You can reach under the inside of the rear hatch and release the Rear Door locking mechanism ! (There is a bar that connects from the outside door handle to inside release mechanism.)
@@inOZ8434 well I have yet to sleep in mine I haven't set it up for camping yet. Another youtuber told.me that if he removes the doore covering the jack storage area he can stretch out and he said he is over six feet tall. As far as 2 people it would probably work just fine!!
Great Video! And nice setup! I hope you're gonna do a video on how you made your bed frame with measurements and materials used. I'd love to make one for my H3
100% OK to use the bed build in the video. For the mattress just go to Amazon and search for a folding memory foam mattress, you'll find many options. The one in the video is 6" thick. And thanks for watching the video!
@@WildCountryAdventures No problem man I have watched a bunch of you videos you got me wanting to live in my Hummer, I hope you keep making videos brother maybe we will run across each other somewhere on the road lol take care
Cool set up! Thanks for idea with the box, I need one myself now too. I assume you can put back seats up just fine when you fold box back? Thanks for video.
Hello and thanks for the comment. Yes, once it is folded up I can put the back seats up and the bed frame turns into a bench seat facing out of the tailgate. I will be posting a video soon on how i made the bed frame. And thanks again.
I made the light with the battery pack. It was fairly simple to do. I had two extra head lamps and a couple of old busted GoPro mounts. I picked up a 4 D cell battery pack off of eBay. The headlamps I used costed about $13 each from eBay --> www.ebay.com/itm/50000LM-LED-Headlamp-L2-T6-Headlight-Head-Torch-18650-Battery-Fishing-Hunting/393050708078?hash=item5b83a5d86e:g:pKoAAOSwM9tf0c8s The suction cups from the GoPro mounts were about $6 each but you could probably find suction cups a lot cheaper somewhere else. The four D cell battery pack was about $7 --> www.ebay.com/itm/Velleman-BH143D-BATTERY-HOLDER-FOR-4-x-D-CELL-WITH-SOLDER-TAGS/254838327416?epid=10024519057&hash=item3b558c4878:g:KbIAAOSwE95gBgGA Then it was just connecting the lights from the headlamps to the suction cups and wiring them to the battery pack with a simple toggle switch wired in.
Hello, I got the mattress off of Amazon a few years ago. It's the LUCID 4 Inch Folding Mattress and sells for $109.99 with free shipping. It is a great mattress, I've been using it for 3 years now, both in the truck and in a tent. Highly recommended. www.amazon.com/LUCID-Inch-Folding-Sofa-Play/dp/B00B1ZRO4I/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=LUCID+4+Inch+Folding+Mattress+-+Twin+Size+Dark+grey&qid=1574150436&sr=8-1-fkmr0
The mattress measures 39" x 75" and is about 4" thick. I am 6 foot, about 200 lbs and this mattress works great for me. I purchased it on Amazon for about $110.
@@WildCountryAdventures awesome! Thanks Brotha! I’m hooking up my 2006 H3 to do the same thing. Can I ask you where you got the lights from? Brand name?

I just built one of the same box inserts for my H3. I loved your design
How much are you charging for one

H3 love the setup... Inspiring.
Love seeing H3's in real use?
Good job! And i can't figure out how to open the back door to get out if it's slammed shut in the cold. (

Awesome set up! This gives me inspiration for my 2010 h3.
Awesome video!! I can't wait to sleep in my 06 H3 this summer!!
@ScottReasons, hi Scott, I've been looking at some H3s recently, do you find them pretty spacey, for camping equip or two people sleeping in?

Nice setup Building out my H3 now. Curious - where do you pack your mattress as it seems like it is very bulky?
Typically I just lay it out on the bedframe and throw a tarp over it.
Man great vids! Would you happen to have link for suction cup ligbts and battery pack set up pls?👍

How tall are you?
I am 6 foot and if the front seats are pushed all the way up i sleep rather comfortably in there.
Thanks im thinking about camping in my h3
