When I go camping my brother rocks a 1965 Coachman........ it's restored and is covered in confederate flags and has a few tastefull bumper stickers (when guns are banned liberal season begins) "I knocked up your honor student" "Protected by Smith and Wesson" Proud to be Southern I think is the final one on back glass, got in some trouble because of those at Kentucky lake........ but they loved them in Union County. odd.....

It looks like it belongs in a trailer park and I'll admit is a tad white trash, but dang it's nice and fun.

We usually use three to six inches of that foam egg crate stuff on the bed, then throw a nice soft blanket on top of that, hop in the sleeping bag and your good to go. Both the truck in the family have canopy's so you can sleep where ever you want. No picture's right now, but hopefully i can get some time off work to go have a little fun!

when the wife goes, we throw down an air mattress and sleep in the back of my exploder. it's actually pretty comfy, i'm 6'5" and i can stretch out.

when i go with my buddies, i have a POS walmart tent that doesnt do anything except annoy me

I have the air mattress as well, the whole thing is extremely comfortable. Makes camping easier...and its really nice being up off the ground.
