Well took my minivan and cleaned it out and made it more comfy, got the bed behind the driver seat to the back end.&nbsp; It was comfortable...slept in it last night.&nbsp; Tho the road seemed normal when i parked, the slight banking of it toward the curb had me rolling out of bed last night dang it <img src="/images/boards/smilies/rofl.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp; I'd like to put the bed on the passenger side, so i have no where to go but against the wall but my driver side slider no longer works and don't want the bed right where i enter.&nbsp; I was planning on making a platform with storage under in the future when i get a real van but maybe i should reconsider <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp; <br /><br />Good news is my sister came over to ask me a favor and told me she couldnt tell at all someone was sleeping in there.&nbsp; Muaa.
 
<span style="font-size: small;">Been there. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp; If you put your mattress on a plywood base, when you are parked in an unlevel area, you can just tuck a couple of little wood blocks (three 2x4's,&nbsp;3 inches long) under the plywood base.&nbsp;Little&nbsp;wood blocks&nbsp;take up very little room in the van, but are invaluable when you need them. They can also be used outside to level tables, chairs, etc.</span>
 
I solved that problem by welding in a futon frame with springs... Ya settle in and are always level up to a point, that's when ya blame yourself for parking on a hillside...
