interesting... I forgot that you roofers seal plywood all the time. I'll swing by and check it out one of these days. Thanks Tyler.

darn, too late for that, but thanks for the tip. I've got a shell over it, so it shouldn't get too wet. BUt sometimes the wind blows rain in sideways through the screen windows and it gets water in there.

You could use the duplicolor spray in bed liner from a can. It's not gritty like the herculiner but still rubbery.

Here are some recent pics of the sleeping platform I built. I read through about 20 build threads and took my favorite elements from each. I didn't want to build a platform that was permanent and render my truck bed useless for Home Depot duty, so I built it to be flexible.
The main thing I learned about this was that the measuring tape will lie. The bedliner shifts around slightly, so I built this thing by trial and error 'till it fit.
Started with this:
Then made some plans:
with a temporary top to get me through girls' camp for a weekend.
and this is how it sits right now. Not quite done, but definitely usable.

Damn you Steve!!!! Things like this make me want a truck......
You thinks I could do something like this in a Sami and sleep in the fetal position?
Maybe a one seater with a bed on the passenger side.. Oh wait.... Where would the wife sit.

sure you could do it with a sami just make a plateform that hooks onto the tail gate and has a tent that goes on top at least your off the ground where the critters are

the words sami and sleeping do not belong in the same sentence
I'd just park next to a tree and sling a hammock in between the tree and your bumper.

Sounds like a good story
My wife and I were sleeping in the back of my 4runner. In the morning I opened the glove box to find a mouse that had delivered babies over night. I tried to get the mouse out, but couldn't catch it, or find it for the matter. We were heading home that day from Moab with my wife that day. Still don't know where the mouse went.

what do you guys think about coating my plywood with the epoxy coatings for garage floors? I've never used it on cement, let alone wood.

i dont know how well it would bond to the wood but if it does then yes that would be great
I know this is too late but MDF particle board with some spray on adhesive and speaker box carpet would last forever. I have an old amp rack we made I use to lay on when I work under the truck that has been out in the snow and rain for 8+ years and it still looks great and holds its shape.
