Thread: Sleeping in your hunting vehicle

Foresters are great cars, just sold mine (2009). Sorry to see it go.

As an aside:

I got a warehouse blue tarp, I tie one corner to the spokes of one rear wheel, put the tarp over the top and tie the other corner to the other wheel, I raise the tail gate and put two poles into the eyelets of the aft two corners, a bit of rope and tent pegs to hold the rear and tighten up the tarp, and voila!

Quite a big fly over the back, fold rear seats forward, inflatable single mattress, fold out camping table under the tarp for cooking on, sleeping bag and sleep.

It does not address mossies, or big weather, or security - its more for sunny days and calm nights, it folds up and stows in about 5 minutes and I'm off to new horizons...

Canopies can be a pain in the arse for leaks. I paid extra when I got my Ranger for my company and got the Fleetline fibreglass canopy with channels that the side and back windows close over so any leaks are directed out whether the doors are open or closed. It's a bit of a pain in the arse in some ways but it does not leak and has never leaked. I think I'd need to park it underwater to get anything into the tray, the only time I've had water in there coming from outside is through the edges of the tailgate when waterblasting the thing clean.
