But, wait . . . . there’s more!!
Here’s something to sleep on . . . . .
With the front seats all the way forward, there’s an additional 19” of space that could easily be filled by an additional panel. So, I did.
I attached a pair of footman loops to the front section of the forward module, and fabricated a pair of aluminum L-brackets / slot-hooks to the rear of the additional panel. And, attached a pair of ˝” threaded female pipe flanges to the front of the panel.
Screwed into the flanges are a pair of painted steel “legs” that provide forward support for the panel. (Rubber cushion tips for the bottom of the legs.)
Now I have a 72” long sleep surface that (snugly) accommodates an inflatable full-size bed air mattress and allows the rear door to close.
Edit: Correction . . . turns out this is a queen-size mattress. A standard full size / double bed wouldn't be as snug.
When the sleep panel is not in service, the legs remove and clip to the bottom of the panel. And, the panel itself stores perfectly into the base of the forward module box.
I’m 6’ 4” and 250 pounds, and the bed fits me quite nicely, with plenty of room to spare.
Well, that’s it. During the course of building, a few scuffs found their way to the interior plastic. However, I came in well under budget. And, the storage boxes and drawers do exactly what I had envisioned.
Time for a rest . . . . .
