Recent project: modifying bed for cozy stealth camping in my R1T GFC camper

[HighVoltOverland]

Recent project has been to make the truck bed cozy for stealth camping in my GFC:

I cut up and glued some cheap anti-fatigue mats from Harbor Freight to flatten out and pad the truck bed, then added a cheap outdoor mat from Home Depot.

I've also added my "house battery" system to the bed of the truck

I made a privacy curtain for the rear window and learned some basic sewing machine work in the process

I've also been playing around with my own 3d printed mount points/ ram ball locations for mounting my Starlink Mini

I thought stealth camping meant sleeping in your rig undetected in locations that do not allow it-

Where are you sleeping in your truck?

I was wondering the same thing, then I caught the GFC - Go Fast Camper. Assuming the OP has the camping version. Very cool, I'm just not sure I can stomach nearly $10k for it.

I'm still not sure if this is stealth:

Interior shot from when I stealth camped in SLC and it was 19F:

Not a lot of people expect a 6ft tall man to sleep in a 4.5ft bed.

This lets me have a place to side sleep while appearing to be unused/unoccupied.

Works well in any situation that popping a massive tent up would bring attention.

Bro, just apologize to her.

Is that a solar panel on the top?

Kudos to you man!

So how do you fit/sleep a 6ft tall person in 4.5ft bed? (asking for real, no sarcasm intended)

Channel your inner hypotenuse? I’m with you, does sleeping diagonally really work?

4.5 length and 4' width gives you 6' hypotenuse. Alas, most people are not straight lines, so some 'bend is required. I move so much in my sleep that I'd be smacking the devil out of my head and, to make matter worse, I often have my hands near or under my pillow, so my elbows would also get pummeled.

If it's the GFC popup wedge camper for Rivian it's not stealthy, just one of many popup wedge campers on the market. Regardless, fixing it up the way one prefers is always enjoyable and rewarding. Drive well.

The stealth part of this setup is sleeping in the bed of the truck under the bed topper portion, leaving the tent stowed flat. Without the tent opened up, it just looks like any other vehicle parked on the side of the road or in a parking lot.
