Let's See Inside Your Camper Shell

I really want to turn my camper shell into a nap pod. Not joking.

Could serve as a shag wagon too lol

 

Sub'd for ideas

 

Built this.



Removed it and now all that I have is this...



And this

 

See my build page in my signature for more.

Nice deck. How is it supported?

3rd image isn't there.

 

4 - 57" 2X4's

 

Just out of curiosity why wouldn't you notch your beams on the ends so the tops of them sit flush with the flat surface surrounding the inner bedside and wheel well tops? It should add a good bit of stability.

 

Just didn't bother as it's already stable as is.

 

What thickness plywood is under the carpet?

 

5/8"

 

Went with an RV Slide (42X60). I did attach US Cargo Control track to the sides and center.

how do you like it? i need a new slide for my truck and saw they make some shorter ones too.
EDIT: do you have a short bed? thats a 60" long slide and the short bed is 60" lol. now i am confused

 

It works really well for the cost along with free shipping. I modified the latch the same way @jberry813 did his, here's the link, scroll down to post 1292:

so does yours not go all the way back? do you have extra room? as i thought the long bed was 70" or so

 

No, mine is the 60" so I have a battery box along the front bulkhead and room for a water tank.

 

I meant to go back and add it.
I forgot what I was gonna put there.

 

These are all great. I really need to get moving on this project. I know you all probably have build threads, but it looks like you cut into the beds to make notches for the 2x4s to sit securely, yes?

 

Those notches are part of the factory bed.

 

^^ This ^^

 

Guess I need to look in my bed more often?!
