- It's been more than 4 months on the road for us, and we've made a few changes to our SUBOVERLAND since we got started on this adventure!
Tune in as we go through the things that work really well, as well as mentioning things that haven't really worked and what we've done to fix them. We also show off a few of our inventions (most of them involve velcro).
I like that setting of your suboverland he really does a good job on doing the suburban conversion love it thanks.
Tremendous idea. $15k gets you a heavy duty RV. Did my own van build three years ago. 99 dodge 1500.
Your mom has the BEST ideas! 😉 Lights and ambiance are everything!
Super cool! My wife and I did our honeymoon as a month long roadtrip living out of our small SUV and camping. Love the set-up!
Very nice.i have an 04 makes me want to get busy working on it.thanks for the videos.
What would you have done differently? "Bought stock in a Velcro company." Liked the video, thank you.
Bought stock in Velcro is certainly up there! Lol. Probably also doing the bug screens sooner and figuring out how to stop the leaks with the one we installed off the rear.
I see velcro on the face of the passenger airbag. Not sure what's going on there, but please don't stick stuff there when the vehicle is in motion. If that bag detonates, what's hanging there will say "HELLO" to your face with zero warning. Great video!
Thanks, Bob! That’s the Velcro that secures Danny’s ‘desk’ in place when we’re parked-it’s never used while we drive. -N
@@NorelleandDanny Ok good! I didn't mean to be "that guy", just lookin out for y'all. Rock on!
Not at all! Thank you 😊
recently saw the video on Suboverland by SUV RVing, and the algorithm has led me to your videos. For which I'm grateful! I've been thinking about this large SUV over a van and appreciate being able to see some of the pros and cons.
Two of the things from I had already thought about and was glad to see you agreed - screen for the skylight and not dividing the space with a curtain but insulating the front windows instead. Those things make a lot of sense.
These seem like positive changes, but I'm still a little confused by the kitchen set up. Of course I know it's really difficult organizing a small space - every move has trade offs for functionality, aesthetics etc. But I'm someone who's fairly into the cooking part and it seems like you have the kitchen divided into 3 locations. I'd want it all in one. I'd maybe put the fridge in the back and have the rear half (or more) of the cubbies, plus at least one slideout drawer, just for all the kitchen stuff, pantry items. But then I'm only one person and don't plan to have a full bed across the width of the back.
Hey Michael, I never thought of putting the fridge in the back! That's genius... But you'd have to move the bed forward, but that could work if you just had a single bed on the side! My wheels are turning! -d
@@NorelleandDanny My wheels are turning too! I'm still an armchair quarterback at this point, but the scheming is part of the fun I guess.
With the kitchen 100% in back you can have it work like a full on camp chuckwagon with good weather. But in bad weather you could still do basic prep or even just make coffee, and you'd everything you need right there, under the exhaust fan, with a rear window you can crack.
Oh my gosh, I'm glad I waited to make this comment. I was going to ask where is the Bigfoot sticker? And then I saw it and it made me smile. If you guys are doing what most people cannot do. I pray for your safety and many blessings. So awesome that you two are together and you can enjoy this dream. God bless
That sticker came in a care package from Norelle's mom :) She wanted us to think of home... She also doesn't believe bigfoot exists outside of the PNW... but she's wrong. They're everywhere.
I'd recommend an overhanging mosquito net as a last line of defense against mosquitos. Works great for me.
That’s awesome! I’m really interested in your process, and I’ll be using some of the ideas in my future Expedition buildout. Thanks and safe travels
Love your mods, I have a older 98 Tahoe 4x4 and looking to do some conversions to make camping easier. Thanks for Sharing, had to Subscribe !
Binder clips would work on the back of your wire shelves to hold your pouches.
Mr. & Mrs. Velcro. King and Queen Velcro, rulers of the the Velcro Galaxy, Captain of the the National Velcro Team, trailblazers into the new Velcro Era, essential Velcro workers during the coronavirus pandemic, daily mantra - "I Velcro, therefore i am", Favorite quote: I velcro, you velcro, we all velcro for velcro, blackbelts in Velcro, creators of the velcro blankets..........just kidding, took it a lil overboard, but you guys are awesome, :) its so aweseome to see you guys do rhe dam thing and get it done in the SUV, i will say that Norelle, you look much healthier in this video then the original vihicle you made when you first got the vehicle. (not sayin you looked unhealthy in any way) your skin looks healthier, looks like maybe diets been healthier, and best of all it seemed like you smiled a lot more, anyways you guys rock! thinks for the vid!
Lol! We loooove our Velcro! Thanks! I was still recovering from a bad cold in the first video, and Danny was directing hard that day which had me a little annoyed (not gonna lie), but months of being active with less stress definitely made a difference too! Thanks for noticing! -N
Goodness down time. Will feel great to stand up when ever you want. Bet you get the bug to take everything out of the sub and repack. 4 months good for you.
You forgot to velcro your toilet paper roll! Just kidding, great to see what worked and didn't. I will for sure get a roll of velcro and bug netting for my future build
Awesome ideals! Great Video!
You got alot of ideas from other channels! Especially velcrow and screens!
Hey, i love the creativity you guys have put into the suburban! If we didn't have kids and dogs we'd go this route as well. My husband loves your toilet paper bucket. Lol I'm not sure if you've seen our reno videos but our bathroom is like an old barn theme and he said if we put a little bucket like that on a pedestal it would match perfectly. Lol so if we do that we'll give your channel a shout out for giving us the idea. 😁
Thanks! We have two of those buckets, the other acts as a cup holder when we’re chilling on the bed watching UA-cam and Netflix on our iPad. We mount it on the wall with the lights and move the pillows to the other side to make a couch... whoever sits closer to the back door need a cup holder, and it works perfectly...
We’ll checkout the Reno videos for sure!
@@NorelleandDanny we have a galvanized water trough as our bathtub and a smaller one for our bathroom sink. 😁
The Beaver Den - RVing Adventures can you post a link to which vid it’s in? 🙂
@@NorelleandDanny here is latest update but I'll be posting a new update hopefully tomorrow. ua-cam.com/video/kH3rr020WmA/v-deo.html

A few days hot glue is great but takes a week to CURE .Anyway , domestic for console LOVE IT ,,,,cuz that's where my grizzly killing dog rides all 3 lbs of her ,Minni schnauzer. Runt of the litter but .she don't know karate but she knows karazy ,,lmao, I feel the console in my Yukon is a WASTE OF SPACE but now i know what to do it, love your ideas .........happy trails ,,,,,,,,,,Michael
Great tips! Thanks!
Looks like your using one type of velcro, Id suggest using a heavier duty velcro to use for heavier items (back shade) inside the vehicle.
Lol, I read your comment and slapped my forehead... ordered the right type, and it just arrived :-). Thanks! -D
Outfitting mine currently.
It's the Gnar -V
I subscribed saw your truck with your sticker on it outside my apartments
Miguel Alaniz thanks for the sub!
no "Velcro" for the window stickers?! Hehe! JK! Great update! ;-)
Hi. great setup and utilities you have gotten on your vehicle. I noticed you arching a bit while sitted on your bed. could you sit up straight?
thinking of lowering my expenses by work/living discreetly in suv! thanks!
👍🏻👍🏻
Hello Norelle can you tell me if the magnets was just slipping out due to it not being sewn shut? Have you informed Grady of what happened to them?
Hi Helen, The magnets themselves were plenty strong, however the condensation made their sticky backs come off the glass. We told Grady about the problem, but he hasn’t had an issue before with the setup, so it could just be us and all the different climates we’ve been in.
Norelle and Danny ok thank you for replying to my question.
Thanks for the updates. How many miles are on hour rig and have you had any issues mechanically?
When we bought it, it had about 180k on it and now it’s just over 200k. The only thing we’ve had an issue with is the fuel intake regulator, which sometimes makes it hard to start and causes the check engine light to be on.
@@NorelleandDanny did you end up replacing that fuel pressure regulator? Did it solve your issue?
We did, and yes!
Hi, was wondering what brand/model the roof rack is? Thanks
Any break down alone the way ?
No breakdowns along the way, but we did get stuck between the Big Muddy and Mississippi rivers! ua-cam.com/video/3nb1kBTopSU/v-deo.html
Why don’t people do a raised roof?
How tall are you Norelle? I noticed you can sit up without bumping your head on the roof in front of the power box. I'm 6 feet tall so I'm wondering if I could do the same. Also I'm in Northeast CT about 90 minutes away from you in Boston. Considering working with Grady in the near future and would love to see the rig in person. It's tough to window shop in Idaho from CT. lol.
I’m just shy of 6 feet (5’ 11 & 1/2”). Danny’s about the same, but he has a longer torso so that also plays into it (legs to torso ratio, lol). We’re down to meet up and give you a tour of the rig if you want to check it out in person! -N
@@NorelleandDanny Thanks so Much! Very kind of you guys. Should I reach out to you under your business inquiry on UA-cam? Not sure how you'd prefer we connect.
john_just_is Connect to me or Danny (@norelledone @dannydone) on FB or Instagram and we can plan something from there
Did you beef up the suspension on the vehicle?
Grady and the Suboverland team did! It’s been a great off roading vehicle!
what do you guys do for work to support your trips?
I’m a Marketing Content Writer and Danny’s working on his next startup! -Norelle
Lol also secured by Velcro.
Lafayette! Best food in the USA.
Any lift? Or just stock?
Yes! SUBOVERLAND does a lifts and all new all-terrain tires (incl. full sized spare) for their SAN model.
But ours is also a Z71, built for more off-roading
Check out this great bug proof awning for the back tailveil.com/product/tailveil/ [no affiliation, jut a great addition.] Safe travels and thanks for posting the update.
Man that’s like $250 worth of stickers
They averaged about $3.50 each... so not quite that much but still obnoxious 🤷🏼♀️ for us, it was an investment 😂
Norelle has a nice body😄
lose that background noise
I quit watching at the 1:05 mark when I realized that stupid music was gonna keep playing. I won't thumbs down, but I also won't be subscribing or following along. What is it with everyone and that flippin music??
