Yet Another Sleep/Storage Insert

I wanted to balance sleep area with storage space for adequate head room etc. So here goes nothin:

Here is the napkin stage:









I started with the 2X4 cross piece attachment to the truck. Turned out to be plenty of holding power:





Made a notch so as to fit flush:



Then I cut and assembled as per plans:



The side panels were the only parts that took some time to trial and error, cut and paste. I have a template that I would be happy to trace and send to anyone who might want to try this project.







I used overlapping piano hinges here (one screw through 2 hing holes, then into the 2x4):



Forgot to get a pic of the rear section by itself but here it is added onto the forward section by a single hinge:



Next, the indoor/outdoor carpeting:









Get some help from a buddy to lift the unit in from the rear:














It works for me. I use a twin air mattress and sleeping bag and I sleep better than at home!
