Wow! I can tell that a lot of thought went into that conversion and it looks very functional. I like it. Do you have to go very far to camp or do you just travel the countryside? How many people camp with you?

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Very nice Suburban and great camping setup! Overlanding, off-the-grid, whatever you want to call it, your setup meets the challenge and then some. Hoping to see more pics of your adventures.

Thank you for nice comments..

Actually these pictures were taken near the Mediterranean Sea, Antalya, where the conversation has been made. (Which is about 8 hours drive to Istanbul). This was to test the setup.. (and it has nicer weather this part of the year) But from where I am 30-40 mins of drive I can be in the woodlands or in a campsite.. This was only with my family, but 4 people can sleep in the tent, two can sleep in the car (a bit of a height issue but they can sleep), and if you use side room, probably even 4-6 more people can sleep in there in sleeping bags..

Now some pics of the electrical setup. Inverter, solar charging, and fridge, as well as the diesel air heater, where the controller and sensor can be taken to the side room or to the Rooftop Tent. And also air can be directed there..

Lots of storage.. Also if you look to the interior picture, the wooden panel flips up and converts to a queen size bed..
