I just added this set of drawers from Walmart to my large bunk area cabinet. Fits perfectly!

If you have any nifty (did I just say, nifty?) ideas, please share.

Taking a wild guess and saying you're in a Cascadia as well? If so, I know what my next purchase for the truck will be.

Yup. Cascadia. 2020. Here are the dimensions just so you don't get the wrong size.

I have this in the passenger floor, also makes a larger platform for my dog. 0753518001611505656.jpg

And this at the foot of my bed. I'm 6 foot even and i can stretch out comfortably. It came with a second small drawer but I had to remove it to fit. It leans back slightly so it never tips over.

I carry more stuff than anybody, but I don't have any cool storage solutions for the stuff. Sorry.

RealDiehl, How long do you usually stay out at a time?

Please bump this thread with tips as often as possible!

In three weeks on two trucks, I’ve managed to lose more personal items in five square feet of living space than I ever thought possible.

I saw this was bumped. Also noticed I failed to answer a question posed by Djames. Sorry about that. Solo I'd stay out around 2 months at a time. Longest was just over 10 weeks. With students it varies. Usually around 5 weeks. Never less than a month. Sorry for the late response. Thanks for bumping, Packrat!

I have a medium sized Rubbermaid storage container between my two front seats. It's a good place to sit my clipboard and phone on top of. Inside I keep cleaning supplies, spare batteries, spare hi-vis vest and gloves, spare flashlight, etc.

I need a larger sleeper so I can haul around more s*** (stuff).
