So I took my van camping this past week and I couldn't of been happier with it. Hauled all my gear up to 10,000+ elevation effortlessly, got about 20+ mpg with it, once unloaded the interior turned out to be very roomy even with the bed folded down which did surprise me a little and I'm 6'2 which isn't huge but I'm not a small guy either. Bed was super comfortable and slept real well and despite the outside temperatures reaching 35-40. I think that insulation that I put up primarily for noise reduction worked really really well. I do need to get a curtain put up right behind the rear seats since the front windshield and front windows is responsible for the majority of the heat loss at night.
And on a side note I had a badass time dirtbike riding up in the sierra's. Hit some trails that I never imagined I'd be able to do but I went with a group of friends who are hardcore riders and we hit some nasty trails and hill climbs!

That setup is perfect, bed looks super comfy also. So with the whole inside being lined with bed liner do you just rinse it all out when it gets dirty??

This thing screams function at ever glance
