Ever had to sleep in your truck?

Just got back from a deer hunt in south texas with my dad and a few of his friends. We ended up in some pos hotel for 2 nights, but that wasnt even the worst of it. My dad was snorin so loud i ended up havin to sleep in my truck both nights. Anyone else ever have to resort to sleepin in your truck?

Yep, Same as you back in 98 I was with my father on a trip and he was snoring so loud I come back out and slept in my 98 lariat supercabs back seat.

2002 Family reunion dad snored me out again slept in my 2002 supercrew lariat back seat.

2004 Atv riding trip, could not find a motel anywhere close so me and my buddy spent the night in my 04 lariat. Left the truck running all night to stay cool.

Out of all the 02 supercrew was the most comfy.

i think twice.

one time when we went to a bike race, and it was sleep in the truck or sleep on gravel. slept on the back seats folded down.

then another time i drove 2hrs to help a friend move his gf and it was sleep on the floor of the truck (no back seats installed to make room for move) or sleep on a nasty smelly stained couch. That was one of the coldest nights ever! was probably like 50 outside and i had one small blanket. Also sucked b.c im 6'6" and cant stretch all the way out so i had to keep changing positions all night.

your not 6'6" your barely 5'

not yet, i wonder what the best way would be. how much gas would it waste to leave the truck running all night would it overheat?

yah your right i lowered my truck b.c i couldnt step all the way up into my stock truck.

and i wouldnt leave my truck running all night. I hate idleing for more the 5-10 mins. If you really want air flow, just get a yellow top bat, and run the "panel" function and blow outside air all night. Or like i did just roll the door latches closed, and opened all the doors.

Once In Daytona for the Supercross, I had to sleep in the back of my friend's '02 F250 PSD Screw in the Adam's Mark parking lot. The room had like 15 people crashing in it, and someone had locked themselves in the bathroom, then passed out while the toilet overflowed at about 5am. I had worked a full day, and been the DD for the way there when we got in at 2 am. I got the best 4 hours sleep ever in the back seat of that thing. Thankfully, the lobby bar opened at like 10am.

It won't overheat. I leave my company vehicle running for 12 hours a day in 100 degree weather during the summer.

Used to camp in the back of my 78 all the time. I bought a 1/4" 4x8 sheet of plywood to lay in the bed and a 4" thick twin bed sized piece of good foam rubber for a mattress. Was just like sleeping at home. Of course on that truck I did have a cap on the truck. Worked quite well.
