Anyone find a perfect fit air mattress for a regular sized expedition, with the 2nd and 3rd row folded? Thinking of maybe this for some quick car camping while biking or fishing. Along with this:

And 2 of these:

I did a bit of research and found the best one for myself: https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5050-918/Reactor-10-Double-Sleeping-Pad
I have the MAX though... but the width is perfect.
Not sure if it's available in US, but there is a "branded" analog: http://www.exped.com/usa/en/product-category/mats/megamat-duo-10-lw-ruby-red
Those things are quite expensive, but way better than regular airbeds...

I would just make my own. Go get a foam pad or foam mattress ans cut to perfect size then get a mattress cover or sheet or whatever works and you should only have to sew one side and cut off excess.

Can you post more info about that window vent? I made window screens but if it rains hard ... water can get in. Looks like those have a "roof".

Those mats look ok but kinda thin. I made something like that but added some padding using those interlocking foam squares you can buy. Adds another 3/4" but more comfort. Cut to size I wanted and gorilla taped together. I also added some foam on top. Its like 5" thick now but quite comfortable

Bought 2 of these, I did test fit/install them, but haven’t used them yet. They fit great:

Bought this too, test fit was close enough:

And this, but haven’t test fit it yet:

TobyU had a great idea, my friend does the same. He bought an inexpensive memory foam full size mattress from costco which was on sale, cut to size, threw a zippered cover on it. He ordered a Vacuflat bag and just uses a small 1hp shop vac via inverter to pack it back up when done. Rolls into a pretty compact bundle given it's a legitimate 8" thick dual layer mattress when expanded. It's likely a little more work than air mattress but I'm guessing considerably better comfort and never have to worry about a leak.
