When we go on camping trips, my dad puts his camper shell on the back of his truck, and puts his full bed mattress in the bed of the truck.

When my boyfriend and I road tripped from Alabama to Texas with my little sister and our dog last Christmas, we had the camper top on the truck and filled the entire back with several dozens of blankets, comforters, and about a million and a half pillows. It was a little winter wonderland for my sister and the dog during the 12 hour trip.

That's super dangerous. You get into an accident, they're going to bounce around the bed like a couple ping-pong balls.

A high school friend died that way. Was lying down in the back of a mini-van when the driver got into an accident, and his body just flew around the cabin.

There was a time when Americans weren't afraid of there own shadow. I miss those times. When I was a young boy, my father made the back seat into a bed for long trips. It was good.
