    I think this would be ideal vs being inside of the Tacoma bed. @OP, There is no way you will be able to fit everything that you listed, including yourself, back there and be anywhere near comfortable.. At least in some sort of light trailer/(teardrop even) you'll have more room for everything and be able keep all of your valuables locked up.

    Put a bike rack in the hitch. Or stand it up in the bed.


    Put it in the bed, tailgate down. If it's a shorty, just strap it in. If it 15' or so, use a hitch mounted bed extender for extra support.





    Hot tips.

    Leave the video games at home.

    Use an acoustic guitar and learn to pick it.

    You can carry your bean bag and guitar in the back seat. No generator or tonneau needed.

    Install underrail bed lighting from @mattgecko for living room ambiance on cloudy nights.

    I'm curious how you're going to get all this stuff installed if you admitted that you don't know how to disconnect a battery.

    I want to keep it simple.
    Don't need anything luxurious in my living room.

    Really I just need a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a beer.
    Thanks to all the feedback so far - getting some great ideas.
