I've camped under the stars, in hasty shelters, dug outs etc. and of course in tents. They all have their benefits, but when my wife and I just want to get away for an overnighter or two with our youngest I'd rather go high speed, low drag and not have to put too much time into the bivouac site. Park and sleep...
What do you guys that camp in your Expy have for set-ups? I was thinking of building a lightweight platform like I've seen so I can throw a full mattress on top and be comfortable with storage underneath. The full fits nicely. We used one for a night in the Outer Banks a couple of weeks ago. The only tricky thing with the platform I want to build is I'll want a hinge so I can leave at least one back seat up while traveling for my youngest. The full is a few inches longer than the distance between the tailgate and the back of the second row seats.
I picked up a couple of different window tents for air circulation. I'm going to give them a test fit this weekend and decide which one I'll keep. I'm leaning towards the one that came as a pair versus the Roadie brand that come as a single for the same price. I don't like how it covers the whole door either. I'll have to see if it's a better design though.
