Going spontaneous camping, and I want to sleep in my jeep. Who needs a tent anyway? I know some of you guys have tried it before. Any suggestions?

I know it's not gonna be real comfortable, so don't tell me to just get a tent haha.

 

How tall are you? I'm 5'10" and the last time i slept in the jeep I just leaned the passenger seat all the back and put a little battery operated fan on the dash for better air circulation. Slept pretty well actually.

 

I lay the back seat down and front seats all the way moved and leaned forward. I have a camping mat I keep in there for just this case. My head is near the tail gate and my feet up on the folded forward seats. Also have a battery powered fan to move air.

 

I'll actually be camping in my Jeep tonight, bush party in the mountains with lots of cherokees, wranglers, beer, country, classic rock, women. I don't drive after drinking and I don't want to be in the woods without my Jeep so I just throw a old comforter blanket down with the seats folded up, I leave the hatch open since it's 55 degrees out and put some bug spray on. I usually have my led lantern on my grab handle hook. I'll try to get some pictures tonight.

 

Lay down as much padding as you can.

 

X2, the back of the jeep isn't soft

 

Here's a technique I've used a few times, park my jeep facing uphill at about 30-40* of incline, then recline the seat. Just like sleeping in a Barcalounger.

 

It is when the floor is rusted out. Then the carpet acts as a hammock.

 

X3 on getting padding, I laid down some comforters and blankets and it still hurt my back. I'd recommend a tent mat and a thermal blanket if it gets cold. Last time I camped on a wheeling trip I got sick because it dropped down to 40 degrees in the middle of the night.

 

Anybody ever tried an air mattress on the floor?

 

Careful with the carpet n the back! Got *****en carpet burns on my elbows! Appeared to have had better time ,than I remembered!!!!!!!!

 

Carpet burns what was you doing?

 

BOW-CHIKA-WOW-WOW....lol

 

I just toss a sleeping bag with a therma rest sleeping pad in there. Leave the hatch open since it's hot out here in vegas... Works for me.

 

I was going to suggest air mattress.
This one is foam.
