TrunkMate’s sleeping platforms turn cars into cozy campers

Ever dream of turning your car into a cozy camper without the hassle of a full-blown RV? TrunkMate makes that dream a reality! They specialize in creating comfortable camping spaces inside your existing vehicle. The video below focuses on TrunkMate’s awesome minivan sleeping platforms.

TrunkMate offers a variety of models and sizes to fit your needs. Here’s a quick look at the models covered in the video. Be sure to watch for details.

RuumiBox Single Bed: Perfect for solo adventures with built-in storage.

BlitzBed Single Bed: Lightweight and maximizes headroom.

RuumiBox Double Bed: Turns your minivan into a couple’s retreat.

RuumiBox Double Bed (1-drawer model): All the comfort, with flexible storage options.

BlitzBed Double Bed: A lightweight double bed that doesn’t compromise on space.

When using a TrunkMate platform, you’ll first need to prepare your minivan, which usually involves folding down the third-row seats. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly flat. TrunkMate platforms come with adjustable leveling legs that will create a level sleeping surface.  Here’s how it works:

  1. Place the support legs on the floor of your minivan.
  2. Pull out the bed frame and connect it to the support legs.
  3. Unfold the boards and lay them on top of the bed frame.

Now, just add your favorite mattress. TrunkMate recommends a 3-inch tri-folding mattress with a non-slip bottom that keeps it in place while you sleep.

What about headroom? If you’re tall, that can be a concern. See TrunkMate’s solution, tested in a Honda Odyssey, in the video.

For double bed setups, you might need to remove the second-row captain’s chairs. This is sometimes necessary in minivans like the Honda Odyssey. But it might not be needed in all vehicles.

TrunkMate’s raised bed designs are super comfortable. As they increase airflow, you sleep better, regardless of whether it’s hot or cold outside.

When you’re not sleeping, your TrunkMate platform can double as a bench. This is great for relaxing during the day.

With single-bed configurations, you can keep your second- and third-row seats in place. Use them as backrests for reading or watching movies in bed.

Thank you for highlighting and summarizing the video, Cheri! Interesting product, but one for which I am too old. My ideal “camper” has more than a bed. 🙂 Have a great day and safe travels!
