Hello!Do you have any pictures with the rear seats up? And the third row or second row would go back in?
Hello! I don’t have a scientific answer for you on that one but I can say this, the shell itself is 120 lbs and is lifted with 4, 30lb gas struts. If you loaded it down the roof would need stronger struts to help lift it up, or you would only transport the boats on the roof and then remove them to camp.I'm curious, what would be the weight limit on the roof? We have two sea kayaks, 45 and 62 pounds, but then you need to add 80 lbs of Thule Hullavators and then, I dunno, 20 lbs for other Thule cross bars etc... So call it 200 lbs. Can you drive with that load? Can you park and raise the roof with that load?
Hi Ed,What size is the hitch mount for a bike rack? How much tread is still on the tires? What type of system can be used for the direct drain, a regular bucket or something more enclosed? Any spot to put a porta potti? Is the pop top manual? Any dogs or cats been in the vehicle regularly? Thanks, Ed
I was thinking the flip Pac built out on a solid truck would be a great next rig for me too. You could make it super capable. Let me know if you want to bounce ideas off one another.Nice!.... I want to do same with my extra FlipPac!
From the pictures, it looks like a real quality interior build you have here.
It’s a pretty awesome idea to have a camperized hi top on the suburban.
I looked into doing this same thing a few years ago and Colorado Camper Vans said yes, they would put a pop up roof on a suburban, but I never could find a newer low mileage truck making it worth that pricey investment.
And now I find that (too late for me!) that you’ve built basically the same cool rig...and that you are selling it at a reasonable price too! GLWTS
