I gotta go camping with my son one day.

 

This last weekend, went camping for a night with the wife and kids. Talked the wife into trying the xB for our sleeping.

About 10 years ago I picked up a 48" wide air mattress (have no idea where, and can't find them online now). I inflated it enough so that if I sat on it, I sank all the way down.

Put the bench down, removed headrests and put the front seats down. Laid the air mattress inside. It was up on top of the wheel wells, but it just bent around them when you got on it. If you tried, you could just squeeze your hand down between the door and the mattress. The nice thing about having it slightly soft, is that it compensated for the bumps in the front seats (and where they met the back bench) wonderfully. We slept with our heads toward the front of the car.

I'm 6', and my wife and I are both pushing 250 lbs. We slept there for half a night comfortably with our 18 month old between us. It was pretty nice - would have been perfect without the baby. Then the 3 year old woke up in the tent, and we had to squeeze him in as well. Not nearly so comfy. The worst 3 hours of sleep I've had (well, can probably only count 1 hour of it as sleep) in a long time.

I think the ideal setup would be to have one 48" mattress pumped up kinda soft, topped by another pumped up as hard as you could get it. The bottom would compensate for the uneven surface, while the top would give you firmness. Since they are only like 6" high, you'd still have plent of headroom.

 

I did it one bad night during my caming trip a few weeks ago. Heavy rain storm flooded my tent. Ended up curling up in the back amongst the camping supplies. Ouch!

 

I took mine to the drive-in and folded all the seats down, added a few blankets and pillows, it was great.

 

I've been sleeping in my Xb on trips out to Johnson Valley for over a year now. I tow my quad with a Curt hitch and Harbor Freight trailer. Then I set up my little "cave" with an air mattress or down pillow- top (or a futon pad works great too!) and a couple of comforters. I have everything I need in there. I've got tint all the way around and dvd's to watch. If it gets a little hot after a ride I run the air for a bit and relax. If it gets a little too cold at night I run the heater for a bit. The motor's so quiet people don't even know I'm in there.

 

my son and i camped out the nite b4 the bounty hunter conclusion. we drove 11 hrs and just slept in the box since we didnt get to ny @ 1 am. a little uncomfortable, but we were so tired it didnt matter.

 

I went to Gallaudet University a few weeks ago and I slept in my box for 2 nights in row. Not great, not bad but definitely better than sleeping on a couch.

 

I sleep in mine almost every day. I work 10pm-6am, and totaled my last car because I was so tired. I refuse to risk that again, ever.

 

I sleep in mine 4 days a week, for about an hour monday through thursday, I just lay the passenger seat back and go to sleep, I've camped that way before, I'm about 5'6

 

If sound gets out the soundproofing as easy as it gets in, my snoring would probably wake up the forest.

 

Most definitly have I "enjoyed" someone in my box.

3 words... girl on top.

Nuff said.

 

for a year i slept in mine for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, and ill admit, i slept great, im 6 foot 2 inchs, laid down the front seat all the way back used my jacket as a pillow, and out like a rock, of course, that was after a 2 hour drive, lol, at 3am.

 

Only slept in mine while driving from Alaska to NC. Car was packed to the max and all I had was the driver's seat. Not a comfortable rest, but when making 20 hour days on the road, any place to shut your eyes is just fine. Made the 5800 mile trip in 90 hours....no hotel, no stopping.

 

dang, i made the trip from southeast texas to alaska in 9 days!!!! but i had to stop every 500 miles USAF regs at that time, im gonna try to make it alot faster later in the years

 

Stopping every 500 miles.... that would drive me nuts! I'll admit, I never kept to the 100kph posted through Canada. When the signs said "Speed 100" I ignored the kph and assumed mph instead. Couldn't keep 100 mph through mountains, but hit 105 a few times. Averaged 37 mpg even at those speeds. On a long haul like that, it all turns out to be a blur anyways, so a 4 hour nap each day is about good enough....comfortable or not.

 

i got 37 MPG to, pullin a trailor, 800LBS. i might have to make the run that way when im goin back to the lower 48 later in the year, cant wait!!

 

Sorry to hear about your recent snowfall up there. It's about that time for hibernation in AK, I'm sure.

 

the same for me, I don't work those hours anymore, but I did the same, i prob slept more in the box than at home.

 

Firstly, I discovered that a 39 " mattress, AKA a twin, does fit perfectly, as apparently they measure the 39" when the mattress is deflated. I car camped in it last night, and it was pretty comfy, except for the coldness, but that was entirely my fault as I neglected sheets or blankets.

Also the other pic shows a custom made collapsible awning I created, which doesn't uyse stakes or anything, just rope, tent poles, and tension. It worked pretty well, although it might not look too pretty ; ).

And the pallets were there for kicks, and boy did we get strange looks. We camped in a Walmart lot, since they alow RVs to stay overnite, we just told them we were an RV and had a free nights stay.

Also you can see the canoe pic, I got even more funny looks for that. The canoe is an 18 footer, and as you all probly know the toasters only 13 or so.

Peace
