Outstanding! I was planning on the exact same thing. Nice to see it can be done.

Sleep platform when extended is 75". It's a trifold design that i copied from another forum member SONICMASD
But instead of bolting the crossbars to the frame I cut knotches into the frame bars and put stoppers on the inside of the crossbars to minimize lateral movement. That way I can remove the crossbars anytime to free up more cargo space if needed
Here it is fully extended

Hey- Looking good.
I noticed that your tailgate trim looks a little custom. What is going on there? Is this a folding table or just updated trim?

That rear awning should be done by Monday. Leaving for Florida to teach at an event on Tuesday.
I am also buying some Outdura awning material and will be sewing that up and replacing the tarps. I also will be making a corner piece that goes between these two awnings that will provide the option for 270 degree coverage, in addition to either or both individual awnings.
All of this will be for way less than a foxwing, for example.

i used this excellent thread as my guide.

I use painter's extending poles for the horizontals, and 1/2" conduit for the horizontal that is attached to roof rack, and the one on opposite end of the awning. That awning of mine cost between 60-70 US dollars.
