A lot of people ( including myself) are also building a DIY sleeping platform in the bed of their truck. The picture is of mine, I just completed it. The benefit of the sleeping platform is that it sits above the wheel wells making one large flat platform with storage underneath. Mine is about the size of a queen bed, and I have sleeping pads that I can put on top. I also plan on wiring up some deep cycle batteries to have enough power to run a heater and or lights all night, may also do outlets for something like a mini frig for those hot fall steelhead trips. Camper shell cost $500 on craigslist, and the wood and carpet came out to $100.
