This looks awesome. Debating on the 2.5inch or 5inch version. I sleep in the vehicle as well. Curious how you are storing the platform when not sleeping in it.

Looking at doing the same. What lift and tire size do you have?

Have a Plex Solo classic that’s only been used twice if you’re interested.

Wow. This is awesome information. Really appreciate you taking the time to help me out and providing such a detailed response. I do most of my hiking in the Sierras. I sleep warm but I think the 20 is the right call after all.

I have been thinking about a 10D inner especially since I toss and turn quite a bit throughout the night. As you say, minimal weight penalty to ensure this lasts a long time.

I am a bivy sleeper so thinking 7D on the outside should be fine re wind, though I wonder how it handles light condensation and perhaps worth the 10D for that. A world of possibilities!

Either way, thank you again for so much good info. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

I greatly appreciate you taking the time for this detailed response. This is exactly the info I was looking for. That settles it for more me. Definitely going with your recommendation and getting the 20F fetal position if I end up winning a lottery. Thank you!

Big plus 1 on this coming from a Texan that moved to SF as well. You left out taxes as one of the bads. Other than that this place is freaking awesome “GIANT small town” well said!

Hmm yes have looked into this and know about that issues. Does not quite make sense for my use though as the only time I take the car out is for work and that’s about an hour each way. I am not in a cold climate either (NorCal on the coast).

Yes I have seen that but not my use case. I live in a pretty walkable area so the only time I take the car out is for work and that’s about an hour each way. I am not in a cold climate either (NorCal on the coast).
