This is my emergency hammock setup in my camper van. I needed a comfy sleep option for when my pets steal my bed.

I have a bad back and neck, so after trying to sleep in my brand new bed I was so uncomfortable month after month, that I finally got a hammock/stand, and now I've been able to sleep like a baby for over a year! I traveled from TX AL FL CA MO LA for 9 months, but I've felt stuck in my 2 year lease that's costing me $1,300/mo, so on Sept 1st, I will finally be able to get back to a $500 monthly budget! So I am thinking of trading my Jeep in for a minivan, so that I can stretch out in a hammock and have plently of space during the day.

I'm happy to hear your sleeping has improved, that makes such a huge difference. Sounds like some awesome travels too! That'll be so nice when the lease is over. Sending you good luck and positivity!🤗🍀

OMG ... This might have to go into Jet Girl if I get rid of the bunk bed option. Great idea! But what else would we expect - brilliant as always!

You get better sleep in a hammock if you lie on it 45% to the axis of the hammock - the fabric pans out and yoU end up lying basically flat. For warmth you want to hang a quilt underneath it, as well as having a quilt over of you.

Thank you Frances, the quilts over and under sound like they'd definitely help with warmth. I'll have try the 45 degree thing when I've got the hammock outdoors...it's pretty tight in the little van.😂

The solution for shortening your hammock is to tie a knot in one or both ends of the hammock. I live in my 93 Wrangler with a hammock set up. I’m not a tall man so tying knots on the ends allows me to sleep perfectly at an angle from roll bar to roll bar and not “droop”.

Oh that sounds like it would work great too!

Thank you for sharing this. Love the simple guitar music you use also. What makes you decide to use a hammock versus a bed. I would think using a hammock with save tons of space

Hey there! Can you tell me what kind of hardware you used to attach the hooks to the frame of your van? We are doing two hammocks in our gmc Savana and having some trouble finding hooks with screws/spring clips that will hold the hooks. Thanks! 😊 love your van!

Thank you so much Carrie!! On one end I just have a sort of S-hook tucked through an existing hole in the van frame, on the other end I was able to reach my hand to the backside of the frame and secure a nut onto the end of a threaded eye-bolt.
