This is the best vehicle to sleep in. Go big or go home.

Ya know, kind of on topic for this. I bought the Denali witht intent of sleeping in the back of it. OF course it isnt nearly as fuel effficient as a honda element, but with removeable third row (that I typically have out unless I need it), and a COMPLETE flat fold down of the second row, my queen air mattress fits in the back of the denali. In fact that is what I use for the track. Ive learned a few things about sleeping in a car to know.


Most of the heat I seem to lose is through the floor, I would stack tons of blankets on top of me in sub 30 degree weather and be hot on top, but feel the cold creeping in below. So now I make sure to layer one blanket below the matress and that solved the problem. One single heater is enough to keep the car warm with two adults in up to 20 degree weather (so far). Now of course we could go out and wear thermals or go into sleeping bags, but the point was to sleep comfortably in what we usually do. AKA, Cassie and I slept in the denali in 20-30 degree temps two nights in a row iwht me in my boxers and I was fine. It also has cupholders and flat spaces in the back that ironically come in handy a lot when your sleeping there, it serves to hold your water or laptop or whatever.

It took a few times to get the kinks worked out, where we WERENT comfortable till we determined what we needed. PS- If your going to be sleeping, I highly suggest heavy tint on the rear windows, makes it feel way more homey but dont expect to sleep naked Well unless you like showing off.

remind me to never ever get inside your Denali, especially at the track

Sleep comfortably in what we usually do AKA me in my boxers. Not in thermals/jeans/2 pairs of socks etc.

And omg, remind me to never ride in your car, go anywhere near your house, etc etc. Your a car guy, id be surprised if some girl hasnt wanted to in/on the car etc. (yes thats a crappy sentence but I was trying to make it as PG as possible).

Edit: Unless your one of those couples that never has sex outside the bedroom.

AKA stands for "Also Known As." I think the abbreviation you're looking for is "i.e." (latin for 'id est'--'that is') which is generally taken in place of "in other words"

Haha..I concur

It can be done in a SS or a Corvette, not exactly the most romantic thing but doable. BTW I'm referring to sex, not sleep. Although I have slept in my SS and in my Supra. It sucked.

[Sully]

Bed of my pickup with tailgate open and toneu cover closed, and a tarped draped over the back(summer and spring). Tried it out camping and we experienced what I can only describe as a lake hurricane, I stayed drier than anyone in a tent that night although my tarp let in some water and the bungee cords scratched my hella flush paint job. Set it up in 5 minutes as the rain started though so it wasn't that bad in my mind.

Edit: thread went south as I was posting so to stay on topic, I guess it would also be possible in the back but u don't have a lot of head room to work with
