Truck Camping: Backseat Platform Phase 2 - Securing the fridge and building more storage

www.coloradoba...
Had a great weekend hanging out with friends and now I'm back in the shop working on the next phase of my platform in the backseat. Thanks for tuning in, hit me up with any questions/comments below!

Looking good. Life is a lot more enjoyable if you have things organized. I have had times when I couldn't get around to organizing things. When you can't find something it can be so irritating. You waste time looking for what you need and then the opportunity may be lost for a good shot. Good move on your part. It will pay you back later. Good show. Take care and be safe. Vaughn

Glad to see your doing good and just wanted to say that you are very inspirational

Thanks James!

I really enjoy seeing how you organise and enjoy living with the essentials. It's too minimalist for me but you seem to really enjoy it and have found some pretty creative solutions. Life would be boring if we were all the same.

Nice work, Bryan. It's great to see your truck improvements. I realized my short bed Nissan Frontier would never have the storage of a long bed truck, but the storage possibilities with the back seat area makes for a lot of easily accessed storage. And as you've shown with your bed extension, it's possible to sleep comfortably in a short bed. Great job! I'm looking forward to seeing more improvements.

I think this is a really good idea. I want to do something like this when I get my truck.

My Ram 1500 has a great platform that folds out as the seats raise. Great functional factory installed option!

I'm loving these ideas.

If you have the rubber floor mats you can use the shotgun mat for showering

Sweet set up

[@mannycali334]

That is super smart

I believe the Dometic has four places for screws to attach the bottom to the plywood platform. I will be using those instead of the cleats you have. IIRC Dometic attached their sliders in this manner.

You may want to consider something that's a bit more easily removable. I wouldn't recommend screwing down your fridge, especially if it's in a tight space. Easier to remove it for cleaning and using the drain plug in the bottom.

Ever think of noise proofing the back wall? They sell a special noise proofing tape but the total amount used to cover the back of the cab adds about 15 lbs but the seats taken out prob evens it out

[@mr.waynes7555]

what do you think about a bungee going over the top of your refrigerator to hold it downward, so it doesn't bounce out of the brackets that are holding it from going to n fro n side to side, idk i just was thinking that would make it way more secure so if you hit a good sized bump it wouldn't budge, but you've done a good job on what done there so far.

Consider putting a radius on that top shelf ? ( behind seat )

[@bntravelin2]

round the corners

[@Ryan-yp7zb]

Would you ever go full size?

[@pauldonathan5316]

I thought you were sleeping on the platform, where sleep now??
Secondly, why does everyone need so much stuff??

You lost me at yoga mat…..
