A Craiglist user is selling his 2009 Chevrolet Suburban which he turned into a camper van that can fit a queen bed for $27,000 - see inside
Onufer found the unassuming Suburban SUV to be affordable and easy to convert while still allowing the roomy vehicle to be used for day-to-day purposes.
He claims the vehicle has the "driveability" and easy access of an SUV while still having an off-roading system. It has a 5.3-liter V8 engine and can shift between two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive.
The Suburban camper also comes equipped with different parts and devices that improve its drive and handling to compensate for the added weight.

It also has LED lights in the pop-top roof and a light bar with 21,600 lumens.
The car has racked up 120,000 miles and comes with all-terrain tires and a tire pressure monitor.
The pop-top has a fiberglass shell and an inch of insulation.
With the pop-top activated, the standing height in the vehicles achieves 6-foot, four inches.
However the top does not have to be popped in order to have a sleeping space: there's already a queen-sized latex and foam mattress inside, and the platform that the bed sits on is removable.
There's also six inches of storage under the bed, as well as extra drawers and storage units around the Suburban.
Onufer wanted to decrease the number of unnecessary and moving parts in the space. For example, the storage drawers don't have handles or latches. Instead, there are slots on top of each drawer to allow items to be slid in without having to open the storage units.
There's a secondary 100-amp hour battery that is charged by the Suburban's alternator, as well as a digital thermostat and heater.
The kitchen — which can be accessed from both inside and outside the Suburban — has a sink, refrigerator, and freezer. The refrigerator can be reached from the driver's seat, and there are lights that allow for night cooking.
There's a five-gallon fresh water tank with a water pump that can be used for the shower and sink. This water drains into the greywater system.
