We did similar, but just added a 3” memory foam topper on top of the cushions. -Mike

Driver’s side for sure. If you will never camp in a campground and will never sell or pass the vehicle down, then do whatever you want. Anything other than driver’s side makes no sense to me, but I frequent campgrounds and can’t imagine anyone who does wanting the hookups anywhere except...

Knowing how much thought he puts into things, I’d bet he knew what he was doing from the beginning. Drawing out the decision and talking about the alternatives is good for audience engagement. -Mike

I was able to dig up some old pics of the setup…

Even cheaper you can do what I did with my old pop-up camper trailer (disclaimer: not my idea, but I did build/install one in my camper)… Buy a cheap slop sink from your favorite big box home improvement store. Cut down the sides to fit it into a dinette bench seat (use some wood to reinforce...

It is most definitely NOT peaking. There is just only so much demand for high priced vehicles and that’s the market in this country where EVs really started to get some traction. As technology improves, prices drop and manufacturers do a better job providing the correct size/price vehicle for...

Yeah, was thinking Honda Ridgeline myself. Can’t beat it for long highway miles and low cost of ownership. -Mike

From a company in Idaho that does Suburban build-outs. Pretty well-respected from what I’ve heard: https://www.suboverland.com/ -Mike

Americans have been throwing human feces in the trash since at least 1948, presumably in every state. My portable waste disposal system of choice is the porta-potty FWIW. -Mike

We did this a few times with our minivan camper… just ran the engine/AC for an hour or two before bedtime. Lots less expensive to do that than buy a 12V AC for the few nights a year it’s needed. I recommend having a CO2 monitor in the interior if/when you do it. -Mike

It is great that we actually have choices! You just need to pick one that compromises the least on the things that are most important to YOU. -Mike
