#4. I already have a spare roller bed frame that I can jam into the bed of the truck in the cap. A cut to length 10' joint of 1" iron pipe is something like $24.00
#5. I already have the camping gear. If I used a Coleman Queen air mattress I could mitigate the cost of the mattress, but I would prefer a "real" mattress.
#6. Materials needed to make the bed platform would be 2 sheets of 3/4 ground contact plywood cut to size. Using sanded aracuo ply would run about $60.00.
Mind you like I said, minus the cost of the mattress. I have all the tent camping gear I could want, I have the camper shell, I have the roller frame. I would need pipe to create the risers, and plywood to make the platform between the roller frame rails. I have the material to make the bed end tent...
The purpose to the bed end tent is to simply allow us to more comfortably get out of bed, and have a place to attach the AC when needed, or set the heater out of harms way when needed.
