With all of my excitement Candice must have caught some, because she asked us to help her convert her SUV into a camper. That, I must confess, sounded like a challenge. She wouldn't have any spare room, and sleeping would be a challenge but we were up for the task, and even Dean got on board when it came to actually building it. I was more of the designer, and Candice and Dean did most of the work. The make a pretty handy pair.
We wanted a pull out shelf where she could mix the food, and do the prep work, then replacing it with a portable stove. The cookware and stove could be stored there. The mattress could be put in place and left, and their clothing bags could easily be put on the floor space behind the driver and passenger seat . We had a plan, and we went to town to put it together.
We used good plywood and made sure it would support two bodies, and a mattress. It is easily put in and taken out, so that they can put it in when needed. The only thing I was worried about was the head space from the person lying in the bed to the ceiling. I was afraid it would be very claustrophobic.
We cut some nice foam to make it totally comfortable and I know they are excited to try it out. I hope they love it, and that they will actually use it.
