I have a 2002 Subaru L with 214000+ miles on it.
I took out the back seat and the passenger seat. 
I built a bed on the passenger side from the glove box into the backseat area.
I have storage under the bed as a result.

On the driver's side in the back seat area is where I have all the Solar Electrical installed.
There are 4-20 watt panels attached to the roof rack.
A 30 amp charge controller and the biggest deep cycle marine/RV battery I could find.
A 2000 watt Xantrex Pure Sine inverter.
This is what I had on hand from other projects so it is what I used.

The cargo area has a shelf the width of the area by 2 feet front to back.
The gasoline stove is stored and bungee'd to the shelf.
Clothing and other soft stuff is stored there as well.

Under the shelf are 2 plastic milk crates holding tools and clothing.
Farther back is my Safe and 2 more plastic milk crates and canned food and gallon water jugs.

Because there is a shell of solar panels on top of the roof I call the car Honu (Hawaiian for sea turtle) and caR-V because it is Honu caR-V.

I tried the TailVeil tent anyone want it? It takes up too much room in my tiny little Subaru L.

I have been traveling now for 4 months and am very comfortable sleeping and living this way. 
I'm 64 so don't tell me ya can't do it.
 
DrBill Your the Man! (i assume) You took what you had and ran with it....No Over Thinking just do what was needed and hit the road!
Any chance you could prescribe this Over Thinker a K.I.S.S. Pill?
Peace and Blessings
