so this last weekend I decided to make a rear sleeping platform/storage compartment. Wanna know what sucks? Having a broken wrist, only being able to use one hand, and trying to measure, cut, and nail together this whole thing in one day (looking for props from the T&A on my manliness here, ladies)...

Total cost was about $70 for the wood (didn't need it all)
and $15 for the hinge
Not bad for $85. I've put carpet on it now, and everything is cool. It's 5'2" long, not even close for me (5'10") but I can sleep sideways & the dogs can sleep there too. Plus with the rear awning, I can open the rear door and have a fully enclosed (but open) and just sleep w/my feet off the back.
