I agree, could be done. Might restrict the seat adjustment a bit. Having said that, when the water tank is in place, the platform isn't really necessary. I just use the lightweight plywood to cover the gaps.takesiteasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02688163711312188277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792978002875737846.post-7068387590009399922020-07-09T19:19:49.286-05:002020-07-09T19:19:49.286-05:00I agree, I really like the water and dog bed setup...I agree, I really like the water and dog bed setup and am going to do the same.<br /><br />Is there a reason you didn't use the original carpeted version when you installed the water tank? Seems like a tight fit, but doable.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />CharlesCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455876938789753765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792978002875737846.post-68958561926421830272020-06-06T10:44:41.510-05:002020-06-06T10:44:41.510-05:00Hi Kait, I made the platform to fit the space in t...Hi Kait, I made the platform to fit the space in the truck and to allow the front seats to adjust to our preferred settings. Each truck and person is probably unique so if I were you I would measure your truck and go from there. Good luck.

Don't suppose you'd be willing to share the dimensions of the carpet-covered platform?<br />Thanks in advance,<br />KaitKaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097380520536650706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792978002875737846.post-90875298739611964262016-08-18T22:43:21.429-05:002016-08-18T22:43:21.429-05:00Thanks for your comments.

...Thanks for your comments. We like the setup too! <br /><br />As for mpg, we usually get between 16-17 mpg but it can vary quite a bit depending on terrain, wind and speed. Driving slower has a huge positive impact on mpg. I think our best has been 20-21 mpg. Overall, mpg is not as good as I wish but we can live with it.<br /><br />I don't imagine we will sell the truck and camper anytime soon. We like it quite a lot.takesiteasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02688163711312188277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792978002875737846.post-78482176645800967522016-08-18T11:30:34.793-05:002016-08-18T11:30:34.793-05:00Hey there,

Thank you so much for all of the great information and fun stories! <br /><br />Your camper and truck are beautiful. This is essentially the exact setup I've been looking for. What kind of MPG do you find yourself getting on the road? Do you think you will ever considering selling your rig in the future? <br /><br />Thank you :)<br />JereJerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973308855424640039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792978002875737846.post-50660983256091726472016-05-12T12:08:31.784-05:002016-05-12T12:08:31.784-05:00We enjoyed Crazy Woman Canyon and Bighorns quite a...We enjoyed Crazy Woman Canyon and Bighorns quite a lot.

Unfor...Hi Sherry, thanks for checking out our blog. Unfortunately, for the most part, National Parks are not very dog friendly in our experience. Most parks allow dogs in campgrounds and elsewhere on a limited basis and you can see many of the attractions by leaving your dog in the vehicle for short periods. This of course does not work when the weather is warm. We have used a variety of work-arounds, from trading off staying with the dog, to doing hikes early in the day when it is cool. There are often dog boarding facilities near the parks- something to check out. We have not done this yet, but I can see doing it at some point. There is lots of information online. Search in conjunction with the park you are planning to visit. We love taking our dog along and find plenty of places other than National Parks where we can hike with him. Good luck and have fun camping!takesiteasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02688163711312188277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792978002875737846.post-64339952805120728302016-02-06T14:32:10.745-06:002016-02-06T14:32:10.745-06:00I have just recently found your blog.

We want to travel with our dog , but have had lots of advice regarding National Parks and the fact they don't accept pets. Can you comment on your experience? When you go for hikes, do you take Rocky?
