Show us your truck bed sleeping platform/drawer/storage systems

Upgraded my set-up with the Exped Megamat10. Up until this point I've used lounge chair cushions so this is a huge upgrade. Like going from, well lounge chair cushions to a tempurpedic.

 

Won’t catch me knocking lounge chair cushions. Well, other than the buttons that is.

 

Added a table storage thing on mine

 

nice. is the striped surface a sheetgood product?

thnx

 

Those look awesome, thx, I just stared looking for one like this.

 

I took it outast night and it was a dream. Best nights sleep while camping yet.

 

Was thinking of something like this with a drop down sheet metal drawer.

 

Mine is 30x60 and that's about the biggest I felt I could get away with. Might be able to go a bit wider, but definitely maxed out length

 

I don't know what that is. This is adhesive backed boat deck foam, to keep stuff from sliding around

 

Has anyone built a simple platform with 80/20 like most build with the simple wood style, no roll out drawers?

kind of like wyckedan’s metal frame without anything underneath but made out of 80/20!

 

Basic 2x8 braces and 3/4” plywood platform. I did add thin furring strip on underside of each plywood piece to ease sliding in and out and also cover the staples. This is version 1.0.

 

As I start working my way through this thread from the beginning I have some Qs!

Biggest being: is anyone using a diesel heater? I'm sure there are some post in here that I'll get to but 137 pages is going to take some time.
I've spoken with a couple members in the past that had installed them but that has been ages ago and I don't remember who they were.

 

I usually do a search for "diesel heater", get a lot of info that way. I also just saw this in a solar panel thread:

Solar panel install

 

How do you do a refined/more targeted search? When I use the search bar or Google for whatever I'm looking up and add "tacomaworld" I only ever get one or two returns

 

you're trying to rollerskate in a buffalo herd!

use the search box in the top right of the page on this website and check the "this thread only" box underneath to only show posts from this thread.

 

@Dye22 thanks!

 

Packing up for the next trip.

 

This is my dream set up. Well done.

 

Did you build this at the height so that your flappy flaps are supported by the wheel wells/ the plastic edge that runs on either side? do your flappy flaps flap up and down and make a lot of noise?
