Thanks for posting photos of both of your bam bed setup. If it gets the thumbs up from you guys, its a good product we can trust.

Off topic but what do you both have for the rear seat covers? Do your covers expand all the way to the floor?

Not sure what you're asking. I have Canvasback covers that cover the the entire back of the second row seats and the horizontal / floor part of the cargo area. But no coverage of the sides of the cargo area. Can't speak highly enough Canvasback!

I just bought black carpet tiles, pretty cheap at only $20 for 24 12" x 12" tiles. I figure I'll need to use about 12 to 16 of these 12" x 12" tiles, depending on how I cut it to fit. The platform pieces are 21" x 44" each so that's a platform of 42" x 44". If I mathed right then I'll need 3.67 tiles for the width and 3.5 tiles for the depth.

As usual, I wasted hours researching stain vs. dye vs. rubber sheets vs. carpet.

I may stain the edges of the wood with black India ink, or just paint them.

Hi! Thank you for getting back to me. I am wondering if the Canvasback cover extends all the way to the floor and not leaving the legs exposed. Please take a look at the picture. I'd like the legs to be covered as well.

No, they only cover the seatback, and don't extend to the floor.

Buy a roll of PPF and you can protect anything and everything

I have the canvasback floor covering that covers the deck under the rear seats so then the are folded forward the carpet is covered. Also did the seat backs. If you spend enough the only thing not covered is the ceiling...waiting for that option.

This is perfect thanks!,

Was looking at the ADGU but at 5k...oof; this will work just fine and allow more $$$ into the roof rack

What mattress have you been using for this?

 

[Bluegill]

I use the Exped LuxeMat Duo Sleeping Pad (medium double size) that I picked up from REI on a pretty good sale ($100 off).

This little USB-charged pump is the bomb for inflation and especially deflation:

I use a 3-part foldable mattress from Costco and layer of a memory foam topper (also from Costco) on top of it. I liked them so much that when Costco found out, their executive team held a midnight emergency session to discontinue both. Luckily, I’m sure you can still find them online.

Thanks that fits great- surprised how well it fits vs the megamat auto. Can it be filled with a regular air

Nice this looks great. How many inches more width or length do you think I could get away with or is this the max?

 

[Bluegill]

The width between the rear wheel wells is 45" so that is your limiting factor.

Very helpful- how much more length could we get away with? The Luxemat is 72", do you think we could get away with an 80" or 77"?

Edit: I measured from the top of the folded seat and anything over 77" would probably be tight. I think I'm going to go with the Exped Max Long x-wide even though it'll hang over the seat edge.
