    I'm Converting my Chevy Suburban

    I also have a Suburban. Well, it's a Yukon XL, but it's the same thing. I have taken the third row seat out, and my plan was to take the second row bucket seats out, too. But just today I have been thinking about getting a cargo trailer to pull with it. But I'm still not sure, because I will...

    Here are a couple of photos. The two seats that are folded down right now will be removed completely. https://goo.gl/photos/R6revoxCNqKrne8D7

    Do I REALLY need solar?

    Sounds like a resounding YES, I do need solar. I will check into bindi&us' suggestion. Thanks everyone!

    Do I REALLY need solar?

    I was thinking about what I really need. I will be urban stealth camping, and I can charge my laptop at work, and my phone too. The only thing I absolutely cannot go without is my CPAP machine. It runs on DC power, and I can get a cigarette lighter plug for it for about $15. 80 watts = 6.67 amps...

    That would truly be comical. I will see what I can do. Less headroom than Odyssey, more length and width, I think. But with the second row seats taken out, I think it has more total cubic feet. I don't know for sure. Google says Odyssey is 148 cubic feet with seat area, Yukon XL is 131 cubic...

    Thank you! I am very excited. Yes, I will post some later today if it stops raining here in Arkansas. LOL, I am glad my odd sense of humor is not wasted!

    Hey y'all, I got a GMC Yukon XL. Now I can start building a home inside. I am so excited, I made a video about it. I will be making progress videos as I go along. Hope you enjoy this!

    Can panels be installed on a contoured conversion van roof?

    I saw a van today, and I am thinking about buying it. It looks almost exactly like this: http://imganuncios.mitula.net/1998_dodge_ram_conversion_van_raised_roof_low_miles_clean_portland_7920071432770432426.jpg Except it also has a rooftop AC right in the middle of the roof. It is powered by a...

    Need opinions on this one please

    Yeah there was a gap between the bumper and the body, and there was more rust down there in the corner. And the check engine light was on. I did not buy it. I have one lined up to check out tomorrow, though. Fingers crossed.

    I think I have seen that color before, can't say for sure though. I will definitely have to adjust my gas budget if I get it. Thank you :)

    Need opinions on this one please

    Oh yeah I got the mileage, 143,000. The price we agreed on is significantly lower than what is listed on the ad.

    Need opinions on this one please

    I have talked to the owner on this one and have worked out a very good price, the only thing I'm worried about is that damage on the back left. I see a little bit of rust on it there. I think it might be OK, it might be localized to just that one little spot. But I wanted to get second opinions...

    Maybe I'll get a Suburban instead of a van

    A camper shell on a pickup is something I will need to think about too. Thanks!

    Maybe I'll get a Suburban instead of a van

    I see how that can definitely be something to weigh carefully. Thanks.

    Maybe I'll get a Suburban instead of a van

    Is there something unreliable about the independent 4wd or is it just a preference?

    Maybe I'll get a Suburban instead of a van

    These vans I see are all so expensive. So I started looking at Suburbans and Yukons. Wow, there are so many of these things available, the prices are much lower, at least 25%-30% lower for similar year/mileage on Express and Savanas. You can get them with 4WD and a sun roof, so you can go...

    Is this mileage too high?

    If highdesertranger says it's a red flag, I ain't gonna mess with it. Thank you.
  19. Thunder Dan

    Is this mileage too high?

    Yeah, you're probably right. I just got excited by that long wheel base.

    Is this mileage too high?

    The price here is lower than a lot of stuff I've seen lately, but 190,000 miles makes me wonder how much life is left in the van. What do you think? http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/5544704799.html
