Hello friends! I have returned to a regular posting schedule and am now rolling out videos from the building process. ☺ You'll be able to see more detail from each part of camper and what my experience was like. I am especially excited to share the solar and electrical system video - it is very thorough! I really appreciate the support on this tour video and am nearly monetized on KZitem from it - you being here means a lot. 💕

Nice to see you posting again. You might take a look at Patrick Remington KZitem channel for a DIY privacy shower or bathroom curtained “pop out “ that you could attach above a rear passenger door. Adding a roof curtain to it could make for a dry entrance for taking off shoes, changing, etc. Looks relatively easy to make.

I sure miss my Yukon! Retired for medical reasons only making 14,000 yr. I couldn't afford my car payment and put together 2800 dollars I bought it from a friend who was letting me use it to find a vehicle. Never had a truck this big or 4wd.I freaking loved it,268,000 miles it was good.It was stolen I still look for it on my bicycle!Old rusted it was dependable and easy to fix.Many things I fixed for free, having time but little cash I became resourceful.I also regret not buying a Winnebago for $500 That only needs brakes.Wasnt expecting losing my home job and wife .Now I know what people that are on a fixed income are dealing with.A more solitary life would be better for me.

Oh yeah for security purposes consider a 12 volt cattle fencer non lethal my dad had a pasture were he used one I got shocked more than once its low amperage high voltage hooked to your truck body it uses no electricity unless you touch the vehicle from outside turn it on from inside when you go to sleep it wont shock you inside , but turn it off before you get out, your setting on 4 rubber tires (insulators)but if somebody touches it while standing on the ground out side they will get a friendly shocking reminder why they should not touch it again it's about like grabbing on to a bare spark plug wire while the engine is running I had a friend who was geting stough stole out of his truck regular were he worked after the fencer that all stopped .

I went from RV living for 5 years to recently buying a home but my original love was car camping. So, I’ve re-vamped my no-build build and getting an idea here and there for creativity, comfort, and practicality… then planning the trips and heading out. You incorporate numerous things on my list (or upgrades) and I loved watching you learn your way through the experience. Much appreciated, keep exploring, and happy travels!!

I was going to do the same thing with a Yukon or Tahoe, but since I have a 4X4 Silverado paid for, I decided a shell on the bed is much more affordable after checking prices of those lol Yukon is much nicer to drive and cozier. I found a twin bed (Lowes) to fit that has a drawer on the end. I was going to attach a piece of plywood to the drawer in the bed, so I can pull out the drawer way out with a support and have storage that slides under the bed out of the way. I would pull the drawer with cooking utensils out and have access to containers behind the drawer and a long table to use.. Just an idea I had. Love your set up!

Great video and great build! Well done! Great use of space! (With the grey and fresh water jugs can you not have them side by side but on their side eg. So the spout still faces the door /laying on their side but they're next to eachother vertically but laying on side with spouts nearer the top rather than bottom, so they don't leak still?) Just thought it would enable you to have more space and if spout toward the top while still on its side, it's unlikely to leak if it's sealed as you have it - assuming it's still below the sink drain level to work? (Hope that makes sense!?) Just thought be easier also getting them in and out to fill and empty as they'll be side by side with handle facing out toward door. Anyhow excellent job and build! Ps. Another thought as you ran out of power, You can sometimes get second hand solar panels online that are a higher wattage (eg. 210w and 330w but similar physical size) ..Might be worth looking into, as cheap and will charge your battery quicker/less sun and power the fridge a bit better having one of those instead of just the 100w as long as you have it regulated so it can't blow up your stuff! Lol Brilliant build though! .. Love your warm/natural personality! Just subscribed to follow your travels!Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴

Welcome!! 💕 It's around 170 000km (105 ish in miles). I have only planned as far as September because the camper isn't winterized and I have some other travel plans this Fall that will take me down to the states! I would love to road trip around the states in the future though 😁

Does your GMC Yukon have the 4.8 liter Vortec 4800 V8 engine or the 5.3 liter Vortec 5300 V8 engine?

Cool build! How do you adjust things so you can enter through the side door? Do you have lights in there at night?

Hey Betty! Yes, I have some USB rechargeable lights. I have them linked in my Amazon Shop in the description, but I’ll be sure to show them and how my bed is setup in “day mode” in a future video 😊

Have been trying to do a similar build in my 2009 Yukon, but it doesn't work because I have 4 inches less in height in the back and 5 inches less in the mid-section. I was wondering how the heck you could sit on the bed and still have a drawer underneath the bed as well as enough headroom, although I see your head is just touching the ceiling... now I get it. I guess I have to do away with storage under the bed or sleep with my nose to the ceiling LOL Questions, how do you manage the length of the bed ? do you have an extension in the mid-section ? Did you remove the plastics walls that cover the wheel wells ?

Wow, that is a significant height difference! Given the bed is 5" tall that explains why you're struggling to find a good fit. My email is written in the guide. I'd love to see some photos to help come up with ideas. 🤔 Q1 - The length of the bed does use an extension piece between the utility/battery compartment and the end of the fixed bed structure. The piece of wood rests on the trim on the sides of the bed frame. Q2 - I did remove the panelling on the driver's side of the vehicle. There was substantial space behind there in my 2006 model. The passenger side seemed to house more components, so I left that one the way it is.
