i am going to be extending the legs of the cots by about 6-8 inches, because i want to clear the space below so i can carry a large cooler or fridge. i thout about boulding a whole camping box similary to kevins design, but all i really need is nore open space to carry gear, and a large cooler. ill post pictures as soon as i telded some leg extentions on the cots.

i just noticed that my middle legs don't clear the wheal wells either. they butt right up.

they are just simple Coleman cots from academy. i use a ratchet strap to keep them in place. we just came back from a week of back country camping at big bend, and this setup worked great for 2 people...if you are soloing it, you can have a sweet pad on wheals. http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_26332_-1?Ntt=cots&Ntk=All

we bought a FTC for the sole purpose of camping. we have been camping with our VW bus for the last 4 years, but we wanted something that will take us out further. we were going to go the inflatable route, but discovered that two coleman camping cots are a custom fit for a comfortable night sleep on the road. we can keep the bed set up while driving, so we could just slip right into bed after 10 hrs on the road...the clearence under the bed gives us ample spece to stow all of our camping gear. i also made simple courtains out of a vinyl tarp and some 3M velcro strips...
