Hi boys. Ok, so this should be done by wednesday, but so far here's the camper box update with pics.
I measured the box to fit behind the upright back seats, with the bed fitted to slide out over the folded seats (not all the way, just folded down). Handles will go on the sides, with wheels to be placed on the bottom so I can pull the box and roll it to storage (modular!).
You can see the raw wood (quite light weight) box, before staining. I went to get stain and yes....I went with a color. The raw was pretty and a clear stain would've looked great, but dammit so does orange.
I got 1/8 cable and hinges so the back folding "door" will fold out to a table off the back.
I got sliders for the bed part, which will attach and slide/drop a piece off the back and over the folded seats.
AMAZINGLY, my daughter's partition bed mattress (thanks, Ikea) fit perfectly on the bed - the large partition over the box itself and the additions creation the slide out mattress and "lean pillows" when it's folded in back.
I'll add more when it's finished. Can't wait to camp!
