Going car camping - have any recommendations for bug screens and air mattresses?

[paula]

Hi there - I am headed out in a couple of weeks to hit the trails and car camp in my LR3 which I am absolutely loving. I am going to try some car camping in the back.

I saw some posts about bug screens and many members here have built on their own. Have any of you purchased them which have proven to be a good fit?

Also, which air mattress size and company do you guys recommend?

Btw, when you sleep in the back with the mattress blown up, where do you guys keep your luggage and cooler?

You could always put up a small tent just for the gear. I'm thinking screen (door) material and duct tape is your friend on the bug screens.

Luggage rack for the gear that doesn't fit on the front seats? It's what I've done.

Mattress from:

you get the idea. I think the width in the back is 45"

last time I slept in my LR3 I simply left the sunroof open but with the net closed and windows up, not one single sting the next morning...

That would work too...as long as it doesn't rain!!

I am surprised this kind of screen is not available as a custom fit on eBay. I am going to have to make one before my trips to Big Sur and Sequioa
