Was there a LC Camping Problem?

I went camping in the LC for the first time last weekend. I bought a 4 inch thick Thermarest sleep pad. I then just placed a folded blanked at the edge of backseat. You couldn't feel the step down from the seat to the floor. You could feel the incline a little but overall wasn't bad for a cheaper solution.
I did this same thing. Works for me

I bought a few sturdier foldable boxes (They are just 4-inch thick when folded) to pad the trunk. In the day time I can put all my sleeping bag and pad in these boxes. It is way more flexible than the fixed flatbed platform, and way cheaper as well. For a multi-use vehicle (instead of dedicated full time overlanding) I find it is the best arrangement.

This is my solution. Way better than these $1000 permanent platform camping build

I originally posted this in the wrong thread so I deleted it….
I made my own “Bam-Beds” style platform. Pretty happy with how it turned out especially since I used scrapped plywood flooring and have almost no carpentry skills.
Now I just leave the lids off the 3 storage bins and have enough room under the platform to store the air mattress under for “hidden” storage

I like it! Do you mind sharing where you got this and what it's called?"

This is the strongest folding box I can find. Still plastic but good enough.

Hopefully you've got it strapped to the floor, could become a large flying object in an accident.

Unless people run into my car in high speed while I camp in it otherwise I do not particularly worried about it. During my trip there are usually enough weight on the top of them and at home I don’t really keep these box in the car. Various random objects in the first row and second row is probably going to be more of a concern, and my travel partner also have a bad habit putting his/her legs on the windshield. If your car is rolling tons of stuff could hurt you bad anyway
