And in front of my dry food storage....dog 🐕 food the bed lifts up like a coffin but also has a hinged 1/3 (directly behind driver seat) that lift tilts on a separate hinge; 1) Daily clothes access 2) props the 'bouch" (bed 🛏️ couch 🛋️) into a lounge chair that I can use to full appreciation while hatch is open and dual sliders are open.

I've got a 2005 Grand Caravan SXT which has the stow-n-go seating. The bed is designed to lift the front half to a vertical position, allowing the middle seats to be accessed when needed. Otherwise, the bed was built low enough to sit up comfortably, use the shelf above the wheel well as a countertop or desk, and still have six inches of storage below. So happy with the way this second build is turning out. I've been building it more slowly and trying out my ideas as I go... much easier to make revisions or change the plans.

Yeah it would be a little cramped for two. One and a dog isn’t bad though.

I don’t speak Korean (I think that’s Korean) except for a few words. Hope the video was helpful though.

Looks like a great setup and very functional. Where is the backdrop of this video? Very beautiful we have nothing like this where I live in Wisconsin.

james evenson thanks man. This was filmed in Alabama Hills outside of Lone Pine, California. The mountains in the back are the Sierra Nevadas and in some shots you can see Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous US

Nice little camper, but as U hsve all those cabinets 4 storage, I"f.lower the bed those few inches U nead 2 sit up straight. Any fridge.....if UR camping in the desert?

If the bed was lower there is a part of the wall that’s sticks out. It would mean the bed is MUCH smaller.

Leila L I did not have any fridge at this point. I will probably use a soft side pelican cooler.
