This is part four of building a cozy bed in my truck. Yesterday, we got the sleeping platform dialed in and started working on some bedside storage. The next step was shaping a headboard and trim piece to lean up against when I'm not sleeping. I screwed these two pieces together, coated the headboard in adhesive, and carpeted it just like we did with the sleeping platform. After securing the headboard in the truck, I cut out this small piece of carpet to add a nicer, finished look to our storage lid and sleeping area. Now that we've got the interior built out, it's time to take care of ventilation to make sure I can breathe and to minimize condensation. Although I've got these weather guards and nifty elastic screens for camping off grid, should I find myself sleeping in a populated area with the sunshades in, I won't really be able to get air through the side windows. So I cut this screen to size and stuck it to the rear window to give myself another option for ventilation. Next, I had to figure out a way to work on my laptop comfortably. Luckily, that nice piece of wood from an old bed frame happened to fit perfectly across the rear armrests. The only problem is the board isn't very stiff. So I cut a piano hinge to size and attached a piece of the matching footboard to support the middle of the desk. Now I've got a pretty cozy bed and a comfortable place to work, all in one.
