What fits in the Suburban
About 145 cu ft with rear rows folded. That is full-size cargo space: nothing in the kit has to pack small.
Easily sleeps two adults plus gear with no roof storage needed.
Sleeping inside the Suburban
With the rear seats folded, the Chevrolet Suburban is the bed.
- On the cargo floor: the kit's pads, or swap them for a 4-inch SUV air mattress that fills the floor.
- For regular trips, a low plywood platform makes it a real bed with storage underneath.
- Crack the rear windows behind Chevrolet Suburban window rain guards and run a small fan to stop condensation.
