In reply to Deb. Unfortunately, I do not have the measurements at this time.

Cool! And it sounds like a fun project. This reminds me something else I’ve had kicking around in the back of my mind – what about installing curtains/drapes in the back windows? Seems like it would make occasional in-car camping at trailheads, Walmart parking lots, etc more enjoyable – a little more privacy and ability to sleep in longer. Ideally, something you could quickly draw up and out of the way for normal use.

In reply to Ken. Yeah..one of the stipulations from the wife was that it be easy to remove. The boss spoke..I act. :)

I built pretty much the same thing for our ’02 Yukon, and used it for a couple of cross-country camping trips when the back was just packed with stuff. I didn’t have to build supports, as the Yukon has large flat areas on the side to hold it up (though it’s much tougher to get in and out, so I just leave it in). As a bonus I can keep stuff under the shelf and no one knows it’s there.

Now that we’re using a Forester for long distance travel, I need to start building again.
