Hi all, I'm a minimalist, and today I put together a sleeping platform for my 25 TRD orp.
It consisted of a half inch piece of plywood 50 inches long by 26 inches wide. $20 and I have left over for a makeshift table.
It is sitting on top of a very sturdy HDX storage container from the depot. Nine bucks. I have been toying around with these specialized platforms that cost well over $500 to basically Jam your head right through the roof.

So the real Simplicity of this if I'm traveling solo in the outback or on a long distance drive and feel the need for a little snooze I'm set.

Also if I want to expand, just put down put another piece of plywood.

I can plug my little coffee percolator with instant coffee and I'm good to go till the next Roadside Diner. The storage containers are quite large and can easily hold a small cooking stove, propane , headlamps, axe, p365 etc. I have room for a small good quality ice chest that will hold a solid dinner and a breakfast for one night.

Could probably stretch it to a two nighter or even a three nighter with a bigger cooler. I have lots of room to stack storage containers. I got a good laugh from a few friends but it will work for me. Picture attached
