So the platform has multiple uses. I tried to keep it as minimal and lightweight as possible. I can keep the whole thing in the back of the car with the seats folded down or the seats folded up. all I need to do is move my front seats forward and then flip out the hinged forward panel onto a platform that sits in the seat rails to have a full twin sized bed in the back of my 2006 Subaru Impreza wagon TS (lifted by the way)
It also can be completely removed very easily.
and on this trip I even used the platform on uneven ground and it worked perfectly.
So I always have a comfortable safe and dry place to sleep whenever I travel.
I also bring a tent and a hammock so my sleeping options are limitless.
let me know if you have any questions! cheers!
