[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 84857, member: 2768"] I've been thinking about bed options for camping as well. My most recent idea was to consider a shell / cap. :O Seriously. But I 'd want to build a platform on top of the wheel wells so I can put a queen sized air mattress on top. Yes, there are air mattresses that are made to fit on the floor of the bed and they go around the wheel wells but they're narrower than I want so it needs to go on top of the wheel wells. These air mattresses looks like a sideways "H" to fit around the wheel wells. If I was to go with a cap or shell I'd pack my camping stuff inside and take it out when we reach the campsite. I have no problem with this since my camping gear is all in plastic containers with lids. Fast in and out. The great thing is we wouldn't have to set up the tent each night and on expeditions where there's no base camp like our recent 3-day Death Valley trip, that's a great thing. So, a cap / shell is a consideration. By the way, I thought about a trailer which would be ideal for base camps but I also like driving over 55 MPH and not hauling a trailer so I'm trying to make the camping experience with the Raptor the best I can.
