HI folks,
in light of that camperization thread, lol, i thought i'd ask to see if anyone would like to share pics of their sleep deck/storage setups in their delicas...from simple plywood to elaborate custom jobs!
i've built one for our landcruiser, that got some use but it was cramp with a then 6 month old.
i'm thinking along the lines of something easily removable but strong enought to hold 2 adults an infant and somewhere on top, a hanging style hammock for a toddler! it could be plywood with drawers or possibly an aluminim fold out cot, just not sure about dimensions. humans have slept in hammocks for thousands of years, and my son can sleep in one for hours, so i'm thinkint that might work across the width of the back...otherwise, another deck sideways, like a bunk bed would work for him...or we just use a tent, lol.
anywho, thoughts and ideas would be awesome. otherwise, let's see some pics!
cheers.
sorry, just took those links out, will try uploading direct..

I haven't made any camperization mods to my deli yet, but the GF and I are always super comfy sleeping with all the seats folded flat and a coleman queen size airbed on top. Limits the headspace, but we only use it for sleeping and other bed-related activities

We also use a pop-up tent shelter off the side door, which we can fit a picnic table under, which makes for a nice dry space to store our goods

I'll see if I've got a picture or two to share...

:M

duh, offcourse the seats fold into a bed! i f'got lol. that works!
i'm guessing a roof top tent is a bit too high off the grounda nd not sure if those ladders are adequate...

Heh, I carry a self-inflating mat under the rear seat just in case, does this count?
