I am the new guy so I thought I would share a couple of photos of a modular unit I built for my truck/topper. I am able to keep it stocked with some side storage and can be on the road with wife and dog with 2 hours notice. By myself about 10 minutes notice as I keep a go bag in the truck.
When camping with my wife and Aussie puppy we put a 4" queen size mattress with the setup with the high bed. We can store a bunch of stuff underneath. We spent 4 beautiful days camping with views of Denali. Not a cloud in the sky for all 4 days. That is rare here.
I built this based on a unit I had 30 years ago that I lived in during wheat harvest in NM. Much cooler here but works equally as well. This was minimal expense to build and I can just sleep in the back with a sleeping bag on the carpet, although a thermarest pad is nice.
Plan is to spend a lot of summer camping around AK after retirement. I look forward to getting new ideas from those of you here.
