Buy a Caravan Stow'n Go version, that's the most convenient vehicle for camping. Simple stow down the 2nd and 3rd rows, then you get a flat space!

Did you raise the board a bit? I'd like to know how you keep the 4 boards flat and level. I've been thinking about a similar modification but I'm not handy enough to make it happen. :)

Yes,I setup about 3-4" inches above the base. this 3-4 inches gap allows your hand to go in to reach something. It is very useful, we put our clothes there, my wife use one side and I use another side. Generally, this project is not too difficult, if you house wood work, you should be able to handle it.

There is a long black metal bar in this picture. Did you add it or it came with the car?

I added. That's one of four sport cross bars. I don't know how many people interested about it, if many like to know it I would like to post my pictures to show how to do it.

Oh yeah,I'm very interested in it! I have a CR-V too, and have been thinking about such modification for long time! Please continue. If you need you can add more than one picture in a post. Just click on the "Upload Pictures" again after one is done.

Before i setup the platform height,I do did some homework and research. My car is Honda CRV, not big as yours. If I setup high, I will not have enough head room. For the shortage of storage, not big issue, floating is one option, roof box another. I'm a kind of millimolist, for us no problem.

There is a young couple, they did the CRV that way. Search CRV + platform, will see it.

Any space below the platform and behind seat is the fixed storage,see my previous pictures. Another storage such as bags, packs, I call them floating storage, you can leave them on the "bed" when you drive, move them to the front seat when you sleep. Keep in mind that sleeping bag/pad those stuff, you don't need to put in the storage, simply leave them on the "bed".

I once was checking the layout after I removed the rear row seats, couldn't find a good way to place an extra board so I gave up. You are so skillful!
