Buying Boxes
As ESCAPE-CENTRAL provides Information in their Projects Area, a lot of readers will be building the luggage boxes to create inside suv camper beds for themselves. There are a LOT of Escapes/Tributes out there and many more to come. Since the boxes aren’t expensive or difficult to make, some people will also make them for others and some will offer them on E-Bay. If you want to buy one now, pay someone with skills and equipment to make it for you. Consider a home craftsman or a professional cabinetmaker.
Boxes are a cost-effective way to use the “No Boundaries” features of the suvs because you won’t have to buy any fancy, expensive backpacking stuff and haul it in on your own back and guard it. Everything you need locks up inside your SUV, all setup at the site for sleeping if you prefer. You can spend Your day and evening away from camp having fun the way you intended.
If you travel to visit friends or relatives with limited space, they won’t have to find a bed for you. You won’t complicate their place. If you snore a bit, they’ll never know. The stock privacy glass gives good privacy so you won’t even be noticed sleeping comfortably in your SUV.
As we have seen from other posts, some owners prefer the services of reservations and motels. That's great for them and I'm sure they've earned it! You can stop there too when you like. But when you’d like the extra adventure and economy of suv camping, it’s not very expensive to make a box or two and give it a try! The boxes are also useful to store loose items in the cargo area for a picnic or daytrip to the beach or ski slope or just shopping!
