mdoverl, just a request. Could you show photos of your nightly setup, please? Our son is in school at CSU Ft. Collins and is also in the CO National Guard (currently deployed). On his way to visit us here in AZ he just sleeps in the back of his Tacoma. He can afford to stay in a motel, he's just cheap like his mother. ;) He still doesn't have much room in the camper shell so how do you arrange it?
We stayed one night in the Show Low Walmart and there was a woman who was living in her late model car with a dog and a cat. Seemed difficult.
