Yeah, I can do some measuring for you- my mother-in-law and her husband are in town until Monday, so I probably won't have a chance until they leave. My original sketches with measurements are long gone, unfortunately.
Sweet thank you sir
yeti in ga: That's what I'm talkin about!
I shall take your set up one step further:
a) semi-permanently remove second row double seat as if expo-running, typically it's just me & co-pilot, but nice having that solo 2nd row seat just in case. 'course 3rd row seats already removed semi-permanently as well.
b) run full length convertible (full length for removed double seat remove, short length when double seat reinstalled).
c) platform narrower than planned fridge, that way can kinda-sorta have crouched full access back there (contorted seating) while still having enough sleeping width for me and da wife.
Usually tent it, but love having the option of hunkering down in rig w/o going outside in sketchy weather. Also makes for quick get-a-way in case crazy flatlander russians decide to have annual party next to my spot (this actually happened, no offense to russians persey as I can party like the rest of 'em, just when I choose to (been a long time))
That's the idea anyway.

A tote, with a piece of plywood from it to the 2nd row driver side folded down. 3" mattress thrown on top. I sleep like a baby...as does the puppers.
I'm sleeping tonight in the back of my cruiser. Scouts are in their tents. Is there a trick for turning the door lights off? These are the foot lights on the inside of the doors at the bottom.
I have the second row folded down and up and the third row folded up to the sides. Tail gate is down for my feet (6'2") and the rear hatch is down.

They just turned off by themselves. Smart cruiser. It was a long time out but I'm glad they eventually turn off.

Sorry, double feed...

I like my RTT. It's like a queen size bed that opens in seconds - no poles, unfolding or complicated assembly in the dark. Just roll up, crawl up and go to sleep. They ain't cheap though. Plan on at least a couple $K's.
That said the African outback drawer system has available bed extensions that allow extending the level of the drawer system all the way forward to the back of the two front seats - very roomy. Allows two people to sleep comfortably in the cabin (they should probably really like each other though).
Note that ventilation and night time bio exits can be a hassle no matter how you go. Exiting the RTT at night can be a harrowing experience. Most folks have the equivalent of a "night jar" somewhere with them in the tent and even the cabin. For Guys not a problem. For wives and gals ... well some are more adventuresome than others. If you spill the contents you will remember it always.
Also
, if you're only sleeping one in the cabin you can split the bed extension and allow the smaller rear seat behind the front passenger to stay - allows for third passenger and/or other storage and loading options. Note that the drawer system requires removal of the rear deck fold out seats. I sold mine, don't miss 'em.

Did the RTT thing...It was awesome. I loved how comfy it was, being off the ground...But stepping down the ladder pretty much required a pair of shoes at all times to be needed. Plus with me, I was hucking the dog up there and down. Not a big deal...But I got in a accident and my back is sort of shot for awhile...figured not worth the risk atm and found a guy who wanted to buy it. The sleeping setup is perfect for incognito sleeping...at a truck stop, a walmart, anything really. I always had people knocking on the tent and making the dog go ape s***, or I could hear them slowly creep by if I was trying to sleep in it and had it set up in a truck stop or a walmart for a quick nap. The dog would also hear this and start to growl
Can you tell me what size totes you use to level all that out?

Slept on my KISS Drawers last night for the first time (we mixed things up for our Eclipse trip with wife & kids in a tent and me in the truck). I figured it would be good for me to actually know whether the height I *thought* would work, actually did or not...
Turns out the height is good, and it was fine without anything filling the small gap between drawers and folded seats, like I thought might be needed. Air mattress (one of the backpacking style ones, ~2" thick) totally spanned the gap and I couldn't feel any gap.
The only problem I ran into was the angle we parked at, on top of a bluff where there wasn't any flat ground, sorta jammed me in the corner all night - LOL.

This is when you find a rock and run over it and park it so it's leveled. lol I can't sleep like that, you could also use a jack?

Yes rocks normally can be your friend, but none bigger than golf balls up there, except for the exposed lava bed junk that kept us from putting a stake in the ground for the tent. As for jacking, uh, dude, that's couple hundred feet down and I did not bring jack stands!
Suggestion to others is bring some of those orange rv levelers, pissed I left mine at home as I never thought we would end up on that bluff:
Re levelers: I saw on amazon traction aids that double as levelers. I'll post next time I see 'em.
