I am sharing my new sleeping platform in hopes for your feedback and so others can hopefully benefit. I used a similar setup in my previous 4Runner. My wife is more comfortable camping in the vehicle than in a tent and I like the ease of setting up and breaking down.
This was extremely simple to "build". 3/4" plywood, cut to 76" long (I'm 6'4"), carpeted and tie downs installed. The platform rests on top of the 2nd and 3rd row seats. Testing seems to be fine, very little bowing or flexing with both of us laying on it. With mattress pads down, the weight will be distributed even better. I'm not worried about the seats supporting our weight (about 300 pounds).
Has anyone else built something for their 200?
