Truck Bed Camping Platform Plans

My girlfriend got a job in alaska and we only had a few months to prepare to move from new england to the pacific northwest.

Truck bed camping platform plans.

You simply go to your local hardware store and pull the 2 pvc pipe and fittings you need cut and assemble. The first thing we did was cleaned out the truck bed because it was the last time we would have access to a lot of these parts of the truck bed. Screw the 2 2 to the vertical side bin. If using 1 2 plywood for the sleeping platform recommended offset the 2 2 half an inch below the top of the vertical side so the sleeping platform will sit flush.

Platform beds are an easy solution. These things seldom make either excellent beds or superior sofas. Then top with a sheet of at least plywood. I d love to say that this idea just came to me but it was really forced to come to me.

Finally measure the length of your truck bed cut a 2 2 to that length. If you own a bunk bed but don t utilize it you probably feel the exact same way. Making the truck bed sleeping platform base we decided to place a plywood platform base on the bed of the truck to provide a nice level foundation to build the platform on and by dividing the platform base into 3 sections it makes it easier to fit into the bed and remove if needed with the camper shell still on. This is the second cheapest option for building a truck bed sleeping platform depending on how you build.

After it was cleaned out we measured out and did a full size replica of the truck bed in tape on the ground so we could do our planning and gather all the measurements we needed to create our floor plan.
