He has a queen size topper folded in two, so I think that length wise it's ok - question is can he stretch out full length? Also would this work in a f150 too or something about ram only

Did a rear seat delete on my Toyota Tacoma recently. Came out awesome for hunting and outdoors....but a bit small for myself and the old lady. My bucket list is to travel to Alaska in the near future. Been looking at an overland trailer or a Dodge Mega Cab to do a rear seat delete as well. Like your mattress ideal Love your video. Thanks!

@@bsd7342I have a 2003 dodge ram starting to get pretty beat up. And well am looking for something new.. that's of course in leather OEM. Seen a comment say from 2015 or so to 2017. Seats are possible. And since I have a quad cab. Not a normal cab. It's a bit harder.. that have your seats go up down back and lower it or go higher. With bottons.. seen a video about the f 150 sport in rapid red..and man.. story he told wish I could get those seats into the ram.. basically long traffic for hrs.. took a nap long drive hrs on end.. came to a complete stop took the opportunity and just went to sleep.. reclined his seat and knocked out.. once he woke up no cars anywhere in site... And that's the type of sleep I want....

New subscriber. I’m wanting to try something like this in my 2011 Silverado 2500. My seats fold up but I’m looking at building a platform that rests over the seats, same principle. I’m 6’ so a little tight lengthwise. But it’s doable.

I'm thinking about a trip to Utah to possibly relocate from California; not that long of a trip, but I did get an air mattress for the truck bed for the trip. Fortunately I have a Camper shell. Showering is my biggest obstacle, I guess I need to research areas along route for that. Hope all is well. Peace.

This is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. And what do you do if it's a hundred degrees out or 30 degrees out? Or you have to go to the bathroom? Are you want something cold and wet to drink or a cop pulls up? Blocking out the windows and sleeping in the back seat, how did you ever come up with such an ingenious idea? Or the fan and the computer drain your battery and you can't start your truck?
@ForrestSmith3 жыл бұрын
1. My truck is a 2500 diesel which means that it can idle all day or night running the heater or a/c while using very little fuel. 2. I stay at truck stops where I can shower, eat and use the facilities. I have driven from the east coast to the west coast many times and to multiple places in between. Most of my trips I just want to get from a to b as fast and as cheaply as I can. My truck allows me to do that.
@thepcal96543 жыл бұрын
You obviously have never done a road trip. Truck stops have restrooms, most have showers, and they have coffee ready in the morning. In some areas I prefer to stay in my truck and avoid all of the hotel noise and issues like bed bugs. You can park as close or as far from people as you like. Ive never needed a heater since I bring a quality sleeping bag. I like having a fan, so I have a battery powered one with rechargeable batteries. Lots of phone apps give you access to campsites that allow truck or tent camping.
