  1. Yeah, and I just bought two Coleman cots at the Walmart yesterday. They are not exactly the same as the ones suggested from Academy, but they work perfectly. I prefer not to use the thin pads that come with the cots, but rather a foam mattress from an old sleeper sofa. It covers both cots and is more comfortable that way. Be careful, not just any cot will fit right. The wheel wells will interfere with the legs on some. By the way, I can drive with the cots set up, and if I lower just the front legs on each cot, I can also push the seat all the way back for maximum leg room. A medium sized suitcase will slide under the cots from the back doors (or the side doors if you don't drop the front legs). Terrific solution if you want a minimalist approach, as opposed to the classic built-in style. Thanks Christian! The only thing is that without opening back windows it can get a little stuffy in there on a warm night, and condensation can be a bit of a mess. I mounted a 12 volt fan on the overhead shelf that works very well to correct that drawback. I am afraid of draining the battery by running it all night though. (I know I should test it out in the garage but I have been too lazy to do that so far.) I plan on buying one of those rechargeable jump starter gizmos to power the fan. Of course, that can also be put to a lot of other uses.
