Putting The “Car” Back In “Car Camping”
Made a quick modification to the car camping set-up for this latest trip by adding a slide out platform to bridge the 18 inches of open space that appears when the front seats are folded forward.
Screwed the carpet to the wood platform (instead of stapling it) and created two channels for the pieces of 2′ x 4′ pegboard to slide into. Then hung two bungee cords around the headrests to support each piece.
This results in 6 feet of solid support and leaves enough room for two full size camping pads - much more comfortable than having our feet hanging over the shortened edge.
Very comfortable, easy to set-up, and still tons of room underneath for the coolers and all the gear. Click the thumbnails for bigger pictures of this very exciting project:
