Nice set up. I have a 5x10 cargo conversion. However I am looking for ideas for my 2002 Suburban 2500 for an alternate mode for a quick trip out Thanks for sharing
I'd suggest a jump start battery if you're going to have lights on when the car is off. Also maybe some mesh screens for your windows so you can have them open at night but help keep the bugs out. We might be getting to the point where a locking gas cap is realistic... What size bins are those?
@contrabassbob.....great suggestions! Phase 2 will include an aux battery but in the meantime a jump battery would fill that gap. And I am currently on the fence between purchasing window screens or doing some sort of DIY. Spot on for the locking gas cap recommendation! The bins are 17 gallon that I got on sale at Rural King. I have also seen them at Lowes. I think they are just the right size. Not too big where they become too heavy, but still large enough to store some of the larger camping items (camp stove, pots/pans, propane heater, etc). Thanks for the comment and watching!
Do a search for "Quick Charge 3.0 Cigarette Lighter Splitter, Qidoe 3 Socket 180W Cigarette Lighter Adapter with 4 USB Fast Charging, DC 12V/24V Cigarette Outlet LED Voltmeter Independent Button for All Car Devices". Should run about $20.
Is there a reason you need to level it? That looks like a pretty flat, level field. We have a Suburban camper. and camp in small, often uneven forest sites. We do a lot of sightseeing, so come and go often from the campsite; leveling every time would be tedious. We find the flattest orientation on the campsite, and as long as my head isn't too much downhill when I sleep, I'm happy.
I level it so that sleeping inside is more comfortable. Totally optional -- some level approximate, some level exact. I level to sleeping comfort. The good thing is that with the drive on blocks, once you get it set, you can drive off and away and come right back to level. Although it sounds like you have it pretty well set up. Thanks for watching.
Yes!!!!!! Great rig for the trip. Excited to see it in action
You and me both! See you Friday!
Love the non invasive build, thanks for sharing
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
