I took the wood bed I made and cut it exactly to fit between the cup holders so my mattress is 6 inches below holders and my mattress is 6 inches. and fits level with cup holders. So my head and feet rest on cup holders I put a 1 inch spongymat on top of holders. Had to add cut 2x4 to each leg, but I'm very very comfortable.

I’m going to play with a crossways high table bed design for having a large pet crate-cage underneath. I’m over 200lbs so I will need to reinforce the bed. Wondering if anyone has more details and or experiences with bed reinforcement and also strapping everything down.

@ModernDayPilgrim 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Yes, I would absolutely make sure you reinforce that bed, or maybe have one built out of wood that would be more sturdy. If you plan on putting a crate under there, you have to think about the size of that because you will absolutely need one or more reinforcement legs under the center of that table. I would not use it without making sure you have at least two or three. So that means your cat crates would have to be smaller. Not one large one. Does that make sense?

I don’t hate the inside of my van at all when I camp in cold weather. I have camped in my van when it’s been in the low 30s.

Spent many weekends camping in a pickup truck shell. I slept at window height. It's such a small space, the entire space is pretty much the same temperature. If anything, heat rises, so her body heat is more likely to be trapped at the ceiling. Maybe a tad colder at the floor. But you are on to something. Water condensation on the inside of the windows. Surely a mini van is more air tight than the cap on my pickup truck. (I could easily see daylight at the tailgate.) Even so, water would condense on the inside of the windows, walls, and ceiling. (Humans exhale a lot of moisture.) Blankets that touched the walls would get wet. Even when temps were below freezing, it was warmer to crack a window to vent the moisture rather than use wet blankets. My tips for staying warm, even below freezing. 1) wear a hat. Depending on how cold it is, a ski mask. 2) I was disappointed with expensive sleeping bags for years before a common sense friend shared this low tech tip. If you were sleeping at home, wouldn't you just get another blanket? Adding a simple blanket on top of my sleeping bag made a huge difference. 3) Electric heating options include a heated vest or a heated mattress pad. I had a second battery wired in the back, but now those electric power stations are commonly available. A mattress pad far exceeds an electric blanket because heat rises. The first night that I used my heated mattress pad it was below freezing. I woke up drenched in sweat. WAY too hot. Good problem to have. I never ran it above the mid level setting after that.
