Get mine Tuesday! Soooo excited.

How about some pics? Let's keep this thread going. I finished all framing on my benches. Just need a sheet of some 3/4" ply for the tops.

Unfortunately my truck with the camper is back at line-x after they failed to properly remove the factory bedliner (Nissan warranty). Was hoping to get rolling on it this weekend but it will have to wait until they are done.

How are folks attaching the poly iso to the ceiling? I got double sided sticky foam tape for the sides but am wondering if it's strong enough for the roof.

I didn‘t use Polyiso, so mine was a bit lighter, but used 3m VHB 5952 due to it’s high heat rating vs the Phoenix sun. A year later nothing has budged. I guarantee it will hold the polyiso as long as you do at least the minimal prep.

Finally got the truck back so I'm busy working on sealing holes in the bed sides and installing the bedrug this evening.

Anyone consider or done spray foam insulation (especially on the roof)?

I considered and researched Lizard skin. Lots of good reviews, including a piece on the Expo website, about its effectiveness. Didn't do it, largely due to the hassle over protecting the seal of the roof and the bedrug, which I already had in.

installing the bedrug this evening.

How's the Bedrug install going? They don't make a liner to fit my truck so I went with the universal mat and will cut to fit. Trying to decide what to use to secure it to the bed. Think VHB tape would do the trick?

all my 1" poly iso is press fit. Fits in there really snug and to remove it I'd have to pry it off with a flat head screwdriver.

Here's a little update from last night. Used a hot electric knife to cut the mattress. Made it easy, and clean cuts, just the fumes are terrible and I didn't use a mask (yes stupid me don't worry I held my breath during every cut then immediately stepped away to breathe again)

I'm working with 68x80 bed space so I ordered a 4" foam mattress in king size. I had to cut it down from its original dimension to 68x80, then i cut 40"x68" for the mattress you see in the pics. This is the mattress that fits up there perfectly when stowed. I fit up there if I sleep diagonal which I don't mind. I'm not that tall. When the bed is pulled out, I have another 40x68 of space. So the rest of the mattress I cut into 2 strips of 20"x68". These 2 strips will function as both box bench cushions downstairs, for the storage benches I've yet to build. When I have guests sleeping with me, I'll deploy the bed and move those cushions up top to complete the bed. Otherwise, if camping solo (which is most the time), those cushions will remain "downstairs" and I will sleep comfortably up top in the 68x40 space up there with the bed stowed.

Any pics with the bed stored and the top down with your 4" mattresses?

Here is a pic from my phone. You can't really see the mattress though. It fits nice and snug. No room for bedding but I would keep bedding stored in the benches. And the benches to the sides keep a 20x68" section of the mattress on top on each one, so when I deploy the full bed, the cushions get moved to the top.

Progress. Still need to do the majority of the ceiling which will also get thinsulate and a headliner on top of the 1" polyiso. I will be covering the lower walls with another layer of polyiso (1/2") to eliminate thermal bridges and it will be covered with either 1/8" marine plywood or coroplast. The front wall is likely going to get the ply either way simply for durability as stuff will inevitably be hitting it.

Really happy with the options I selected and it's amazing what a difference the insulation so far has made. I will be using this in some truly cold conditions so the more insulation the better. Coupled with the propex hs2000 and this should be toasty.

Bedrug uses vhb backed velcro. Just get some 3m adhesion promoter if you have a bedliner. Pretty easy install on the bedrug.
