Has anyone come up with a good idea on how to do this?
I'm talking about a 2500 QC... not the MC.

There will be times I take an extended trip (a few days)
in the wilderness where there won't be motels and such
to spend the night in... Removing the rear bench might be
an option.

Suggestions?

Thanks...

Yes, get a truck bed camper.

 

I've slept in the back of mine on trips. I have a fold flat floor, I put a blanket on there too and slide the front seats forward and have a huge area to sleep. I'm 6'4" so I can't stretch out but it works for a nights sleep every now and then.

 

Thanks for your replies.

I am still ignorant about the legal perspective... Someone pointed
out that in order to sleep legally in the truck, one needs to place
a divider (plywood, they said) between front seat and sleeping
space in the back. Does anyone know for certain if that's really
needed according to law (making it otherwise legally unfeasible?)

I am thinking of removing the rear bench (which I won't be using
most of the time). That way, I'd still have room for three in the front,
and a place to sleep (for one) and keep personal items (maybe even
organized in drawers and locked in for added security) in the back
of the cabin...

Do you know of sites that show with practical examples more or
less how to go about it with style, or is anyone willing to contribute
more details on how to do it?

I did considered the possibility of putting a tall cover on the short
bed (camper style) and using it instead for this purpose, but I'd
rather use the truck's bed (with a roll-on type cover on it) as a
needed space to store things in it and the (modified) cabin as
sleeping quarters...

Thanks...

 

I have 2 large couch cushions back there wedged between the front and back seats with a sleeping bag on top. I've set it up this way and left it that way ever sinceI got the truck. It comes in handy on long road trips where we switch drivers. I'll take pics if you want.

 

Does your back seat fold up out of the way? Mayfair's suggestion sounds good or just get somethick foam pads maybe.

 

Yeah, it works out really good for me.

I never really use the back seat for anything other than a place to throw my stuff, so having it almost level with the center console just makes it easier. Plus, I can still store stuff under the cushions ( in front of the rear seats ) and now it's out of sight because the cushions cover it.

 

Thanks Mayfair.We all have a visual of you and your co-driver "switching positions".

 

LOL ... I thought you were all cripped up !!!

Too much "manual stimulation" again huh Demon ??

 

I just had my pre op appointment today. If you saw my doctor, you would manipulate yourself right in the office....lol. One that scale of 1-10, she's a 15. I have never seen such a pretty woman in my life. I feel like Shrek when I see her.

I can't wait till this is over. Talk to you later buddy.
