Go see how bad the dogs are treated in Central America and it will become super clear how good this dog has it! It is always super amazing how bad the dogs are treated over there!

Hey , this is your dog and I would appreciate one of those fancy flip up rear side windows, so start the design process and give me some treats back here, and when rear ac is on I'm sorry for the dog smell.Other than that I'm glad to get out of the house. woof , woof
 
^^That cracked me up, ha, ha!!

The kid in one seat gets to reach over their back and pass goodies to the pooch.
 
Every thing looks great, and if the kids misbehave they can trade with the dog! Where did you find your small water tank? I was thinking a tapped out scepter water can but like the more permanent one you have installed.

The water tank was a tough dollar to spend. I got a one from here:

Rectangular RV Tanks

They've got a ton of sizes to pick from and a ton of fitting to pick from. You can have any fittings put anywhere on the tank you want. It's custom...so you pay for it.

On the plus side, it's a far cry from the blue water tanks I was previously using (in photo). Those are paper thin. The custom tank is a solid 1/4 inch think. The custom tank has a big 4" plate opening in the top for cleaning the inside. It's also a compact size. 12 wonderful gallons of water fit inside a clean cube of 12" x 12" x 20".

It took me forever just to decide on a shape/size of the tank. They have all sorts of sizes, including some only 4" tall. Very supportive of creative thinkers.

Not sure if I posted this pic already, but here's the tank in place

I finally got to test out my sleeping platform. The transformation worked perfect! Fridge moved to the front, gear in the footwells and front seat, and a nice big platform. The platform fits three 20" thermorests wide!! Easily enough room for me and two of the kids.
