I saw your product on Instagram , I came to search on YouTube for more details and here you are . Very interesting , as an owner of a 2024 Crosstrek its something I might be looking for certain activities. I would have love to see it in a Subaru to get an accurate look of it nesting inside ...maybe in another video ... Thanks for your honnest review and transparency

Really good comparison, thanks!!

It’s nice but it’s also $500… vs $244 from REI.

Great idea for the bed frame I’m liking this

Can it go any lower than what you show? I want to get my sleeping area as level as possible but with minimum headroom loss.

Nice.

How much weight does the Hele box support? I couldn't find this information on the website. Thanks!

So it’s a cot?

Run a sale and I’ll buy one of these!!

REI’s new version of the trailgate is so much better than the one you’re showing. The only thing I don’t like about thetrailgate is that the mattress that comes with it is to firm

Hi Murray, it looks like a promising product! Have you tested it in a Tesla Model Y SUV yet? The Model Y has been the largest selling car in the world these past few years. Like many of us, I'm looking forward to your 2-person bed extension planned for this Summer. Keep up the great work!
