Replying to: climr (May 16, 2007 4:10 pm) Two of us sleep quite comfortably in our Honda Odyssey. We take out the back seat (which still leaves one double seat which can fold up) I made I plywood floor in 5 sections to make the front part level with the back. It has a piece of carpet on top. We made a 4 inch thick mattress in 4 sections so it stacks up neatly when not in use. We carry a small boat type portable toilet in a roofbox and put it forward of the front seat at night. There is no smell if the right chemicals are used. We have specially cut sections of black corflute plastic (what real estate agents use for signs) to block the windows so no-one can see inside. The front windows are left wound down 2 inches under the rain protectors. Words really well - have a picnic at the beach or wherever - drive somewhere to sleep when you're ready for bed - drive back to a nice place for breakfast as soon as you wake up. You're not a campervan so you can sleep anywhere you like. Kiwi ingenuity. John
