    Remove the back seats, sleeping on passenger side?

    Finally, I was able to build the bed in my Forester. It is not exactly the perfect design due to my limited skill and materials available in my area. I end up did not use plywood and let the store cut each pieces for me. I was thinking to make use of the wood shelf HEJNE from local ikea, but...

    Remove the back seats, sleeping on passenger side?

    That is another reason I want to use lumber instead of plywood.   I do not have access to such person and tools.  My life is pretty busy, even I can find someone matching, timing will be a major issue. If I mainly use lumber, most lumber cuts can be handled by the store.  A jig saw will do the...

    Remove the back seats, sleeping on passenger side?

    Thank you all very much. It is an intimidating project. I have always loved handwork but never did any woodwork. Currently I am planning to do it step by step. First, clear my apartment for all the coming storage needs. Then, I will remove the back seats. If I can build without...

    Remove the back seats, sleeping on passenger side?

    The air bag on passenger side is exactly why I have never considered to remove the passenger seat before.  If you remove the seat and disconnect the wire, control system will give alarm that the passenger side airbags are malfunction. There are devices can connect to the control system...

    Remove the back seats, sleeping on passenger side?

    Thank you very much to you all. I guess I really need to explore the options of removing all seats except the driver’s. It will give me the freedom of doing so much.

    Remove the back seats, sleeping on passenger side?

    I have a 2014 Subaru Forester which I am trying to find a way to sleep in. The first option I gave up is lay the backseats flat.  I can build a platform extend to the whole length behind the passenger seat, but there is no way I can climbing into and out of it even in summer clothes when...

    2021 Toyota Sienna and Pacifica- how helpful is hybrid for van living?

    Can you verify if you can put a narrow twin bed behind the second row after you fold it. The length is 75 in. Thank you very much.
