I have a 2016 Santa Fe Ultimate with 3rd seat and I want to do this like you have where I can put the seats back up for use when I choose. Thanks for showing the assembly process, not just the finished product. Well done!

I like the way you utilized the Sante Fe storage for your box and got more storage space. That storage space in the Sante Fe, I miss in the Tucson. Thank you for sharing!

I bought a piece of plywood at home depot for under $10, used some paracord and tied it to the front headrests. That took car of the part you made with the legs and I can sit up in the back of mine. Very innovative build though, I like it!

These hard wood platforms are killers on your back even with memory foam. I use a low profle 6” height camp cot with mattress topper, its sonmuch better to sleep in with this hammock affect. Cot folds into a sack for backpacking. We use it in our SUV and great. Good Luck. been there done that.

I spent three-Ish months traveling and sleeping on the bed and I was super happy with the comfort level. I got this trifold on overstock. I will say that if there was another person or if I was hevier it likely wouldn’t be comfy for very long. But it was only $100 mattress so not too expensive to replace as needed

I have a plywood platform in mine and I have a combination memory foam mattress with two different densities and it’s very comfortable. If the seats don’t fold down flat you have to do something more custom. I’m perfectly happy with mine.

Is there any room to lower the platform bed? Or is it sitting flush with the 2nd-row seat? I am considering something similar but would like to be able to sit up straight. Thank you for the video, very helpful!!

I have a 2016 Santa Fe Sport. I'm looking to do some occasional weekend SUV camping as a solo female. This is a bit over kill for just weekend camping. Taking the SUV apart, having to build a puzzle platform. Tearing your SUV apart in order to setting it up. Then having to take out the puzzle platform to set back up your SUV once you return from your weekend trip? It doesn't even look like you can sit up on your bed platform.

Good thing is that I do not have to take it out often. I leave it in. How often do you need your backseats for people?

i own a 2020 Santa Fe ..i honestly did not care for all that elaborate wood platform set up ...i will think of a different material or method thats easer to set up , where i can lift the bed and have space under for storage ...i mean the last two sets can be taken out as well after all

Sure the seats can be taken out but since I live in NYC there’s no place to put them so space/storage was an issue. If you watch the video again, you’ll see there’s a TON of storage under the bed. Like a TON. Good luck and hope you enjoy the camp life

Cool! Nice set up! Is it set up that high to rest on the center console? and does the back end of the mattress sag a lot?
@kelleyschuler9668
3 жыл бұрын
That is right. We tacked an old belt to the bottom of the board so it doesn't rub the console. And we did make a neat self-stowing shelf to support the end of the mattress but it's not in the video.

you can! the trifold is a full size. Its very comfy - much more so than an air mattress but having more room might be a nice trade off!

A queen airbed would be pushing it. A double would work though. I’ve had an 07 and now a 2012 and a double fits nicely inside. Planning to make something up to level the floor for this purpose. Tired of leaky tents lol

Do you add anything over windows for privacy? And do you do anything for ventilation when it gets stuffy in the middle of the night?

I got the custom made WeatherTech window covers for all the windows (even the tiny ones in the back). They keep hot out or the cold in. I did find that it was impossible to sleep beach side in the summer. Felt a little stupid for not thinking of that before to be honest. (cant keep a dog in a closed car, why would I have thought a human would be different?!) So my plan is to get magnet screens for the windows to stay open and the bugs out. Also I can use a small travel AC plugged into the Jackery for coolness. I didn't find any issues sleeping in the cold weather- just loaded up with a down comforter that I keep under the platform bed when not in use.
