That's a pretty expensive list of gear to turn your cross-over or SUV into a camper. Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a used Class-C RV? Possibly. You could also do this for 1/3rd the costs if you weren't so hell bent on recreating comforts of home. The main issue is power, shower, and cooking. For power, solar panels etc are a good option. Many SUV/X-overs now have outlets you could use in exchange for gas costs. Shower, well there's nature and then there's trucker stops here in the US that have public showers you can use. Cooking, a small 2 burner electrical stovetop will run you about $300. You'll need a battery bank to run it though. You can also use sterno-based camping cookery for 1/10th that but you need to keep buying fuel.

- francoisdevlin 5y agoI drive electric you insensitive clod!
- wffurr 5y agoDoes the heat sink for the battery cooling system do the trick?
- gabereiser 5y agothen you have plenty of battery for an electric stovetop!
- geocrasher 5y agoYes, google "manifold burritos". 4x4 guys have been doing this for a long time.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoYeah but you can't get that sweet sweet yuppie street cred and insta-likes by driving around in purpose built camper. This is like those people that have an elaborate 12-step process to care for cast iron that their grandmother would have just scrubbed like any other dish. It's not about the end result. It's about the process and the consumerism you indulge in along the way.
