Question about camping with a shell VS a RAV4?

RSI Shells have a positive pressure air vent. Most dust comes around the tailgate (there is a kit to help reduce that); but positive pressure helps. I have two 100W solar panels to keep a seperarate battery charged (CPAP at night, fridge, led lighting). Side panels flip up, so magnetics and bug screens.

I have a long bed (6'), so at 6'3", I need to sleep at a diagonal to fit.





In this photo, you can see the vent a little better. Look for a black line about 2/3rd way back. Hard to see, but it makes a difference.

What year 4Runner is that?

 

'96 but all 3rd Gen 4R's have the same layout.

 

this tent attaches to the back of my taco, if it gets too cold i can close up the back.

 

I know all about the metal coffin.

This was my first sleep platform. Great storage underneath but zero head room.

This platform is a simple 2x6 frame with 1/4 plywood cut to fit snug around the wheel wells.
I dont sleep in the truck bed often but it works. As long as I am out of the wind and rain, my sleeping gear keeps me warm during any temperatures I have encountered.


This is how I prefer to save on hotels.
