Your build is really starting to come together! You can get a premade carpet that's cut perfectly to the back of the Element, comes in a few colors too. It's around $200 shipped. I've been trying to track down the Coleman Comfortsmart cot for my sleeping situations. It fit the back of the Element perfectly at 69", but has been discontinued so you gotta find them on the used market. It's not as fancy as a custom made bed, but it's light weight and allows for storage underneath.

Thanks for the tips!

I know campmor stores in NJ used to sell a foam pad that would go under the sleeping bag and it was a roll up and really light. Not sure if anyone still makes them but something worth looking into

Check Ikia for your mattress

That’s cool 😎 how much lighter did all them holes make it ?

[@ByrdsRebuilds]

Just a little bit not much, but I can tell it's lighter.

It’s better when you make the mistakes than me😅
