GMC YUKON CAMPER CONVERSION/BUILD. YOU HAVE NOT SEEN A CAMPER LIKE THIS!
July 2023: UPDATE: I am selling the interior camping set up and all the goodies. Leave a comment if you are interested.
I decided not to go with a Sprinter or tow-behind because I wanted flexibility and 4x4 capabilities and I wanted everything in one place for my extended road trip to Alaska. This build took me three months. I had no plans really. The most important tip I can offer is that I got all the gear I knew I would be taking, and then I build the interior around how that gear would fit in the cabinetry the best, in terms of what I would need to access at night and in the morning, how to power supply worked, etc.

Thank you!
I was researching builds on older Yukons and this came up. What a fantastic build! I love the attention to detail, you have lots of clever features here that I would totally copy if I had the woodworking skills, haha.

I've seen a lot of "build videos" for SUVs and Vans. This interior is one of the best I have seen for "fit and finish" and design. Gibbs has a very good sense of style and design. As he introduced each feature, I was impressed by the cohesive design for a single guy on the road. Outstanding! i wish I had the tools and workspace and vehicle and could do the same. Well done!

Very nice man, I kind of prioritize room for a guest over the room for gear, but then I usually camp alone so can see how that organization would be really handy.
This would be a dream camper in such SUVs! Perfect!!
Nice job.
Beautifully done good job. All the Best to ya
Nice!👍🏼
Best build I’ve seen quality cabinetmaking bro!

Good luck on trip! Will be following. Plan trip north from PA in few years when retire. Nice build. We use a Toyota LC and trailer and still have a drawer system to build. The mahogany is beautiful and may have to copy.

Amazing build! I have a '22 Suburban that I've been contemplating building out. All builds I've seen up to this point have been older gen models, yours is the first I've seen of the newer gen. Thanks for sharing, this is great.

Dave..in about two months I will be selling the entire interior and exterior rig set up, including fridge etc. I believe it would fit your 22 perfectly. Let me know if you would like to discuss further!
Absolutely gorgeous build! Love the thorough thought behind every item you placed in there. I recently bought a 1 owner 8.1 gmt800 suburban and have been thinking about doing something similar. Remarkable craftsmanship!

Wow Nantucket craftsmanship? Nice work. I've got a 2010 Yukon XL and wondered if I could make the newer Yukon work, love the look of the older trucks. The Yukon's been very capable off road with a decent lift and good AT tires. Perfect for a weekend warrior like me, living out of it for up to a week or two at a time. My build's nowhere near as nice as yours though!

I didn’t build it on island but that’s where I spend about 40% of my life. Truck has been awesome and after 21,000 miles (most of them dirt,) and even a trip down Baja, everything has stuck together. One thing; would def do a lift if I had to do it over again. Ive bottomed this out a tons of times and the running boards are wacked.

Great looking rig! Are you using a Yakima LocknLoad platform rack? If not, what platform rack are you using and what are the dimensions?

I am using a 3 Thule Bars to support a BajaRack Megamule. Two bars would probably have been fine but I like a little overkill.
Talkn bout can live off grid nice & neat make the out doors ur man cave 😂
Yikes, I thought the whole reason the Dometic fridges cost so much was because of their efficiency. You said it takes 25W as a single zone fridge. My Alpicool TW35 dual zone fridge was $260 and it takes 11.54W with the large compartment set to 35 degrees and the smaller zone set to -4 degrees as a freezer. Glad I didnt go with Dometic. I got app control, dual zone, quick change battery, reversible lid, built in cutting board, wire baskets, and drain pul for easy cleaning.... at a fraction of the cost. EDIT - No wonder your fridge is eating so much power. It would consume less if you powered it with 12V DC instead of 120V AC.

No, but in retrospect could have used a lift. I spend a lot of time on off-roads, and bottomed out a lot. Truck is not known for its clearance.
I have the 2021 XL SLT. I hate the truck just 2 reasons. Reason #1 is the Seats are too Damn small. I'm only 5.9" and 185lbs and it gets so uncomfortable that I have to adjust the seat every couple of minutes. Maybe it's great for very skinny person. reason #2 is the starting wheel size. I mean com one GM this is not a prius. it's big giant so give a 15" or more steering wheel. it's only 14 and not comfortable at all. we have 5 of of these withing family and everyone hates the truck for that reason
As soon as I saw Covid-19 Test you lost me are a Atheist?
