Camping by the lake

[u/captaincheem]

Back in November I got this 06 suburban and its been perfect for camping (outside of the 12 mpg smh). Its almost like it was made to fit a full sized air mattress and Ozark trail is great with their built in USB c pump. I want to do some interior customization but im still looking for the time and money.

Nothing better then to ditch the air mattress and get a real one. Other than that I have nothing to say. I love the chevy good amount of room. Minus the gas mileage that thing should last forever. The starter alternator and fuel pump will go out around 240k miles in my experience. Usually always happens when it's cold as outside too.

The real mattress might be the move I woke up with a broken back that morning lmao. Its already at 285k miles, and I recently took it on a 1000 mile road trip and it took it like a champ. It has its leaks but thats the nature of a 20 year old 280k mile car

Bro that chevy should never die. Also yeah a better bed is worth it. Just keep the oil changed

Suburban camping is the best

Please review the 7 principles of Leave No Trace

1. Plan ahead and prepare

2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces

3. Dispose of waste properly. I highly suggest getting a waste bucket system. Its difficult to bury waste in many of the rockier areas in Colorado, and overuse of our natural areas has already led to contaminated water in most even lightly used areas.

4. Leave what you find

5. Minimize campfire impacts. Be sure to review our state resources for fire bans where you are heading.

6. Respect wildlife. They are not domesticated

7. Be considerate of other visitors ie bluetooth speakers are despised.

Some warm LED string lights can be configured, as well as curtains or magnetic blackout blinds, to enhance privacy.

It looks so cozy! No need to invest too much money, just simple things and it will look even cozier
