Nice lighting upgrade. I'm not sure what the bugs are like where you camp, but I find amber lights attract them less.
Good call. Bugs vary on spots and time of year for us, but always want to minimize. The lights came with amber covers too. Wasn’t sure what to do with them, but will find to find a way to stash them somewhere to see if that helps.Vic Harder said:Nice lighting upgrade.

Will end up enclosing the entire frame. Going to add a folding “sleeve” with legs to extend the bed out another 8-10”. Had to sacrifice the storage to make sure I had a stable bed platform. For storage I have used bins that i keep in center isle of camper when on road and then move to cab of truck with camping. Not turn key, but need the bed. Tried to convince my wife the kids can sleep in a tent outside, but you can see who won that battle.Wildcat said:Nice framework for the new bench. What storage plans do you have for the framed-in places under the bench? I generally try to keep the floor space as flexible as possible, partly because there isn't much room in the Eagle to begin with. I removed the old frame from under my bench and instead have a few legs to hold the bench up. That way I can easily slide a few plastic containers under the bench and a porta-potti near the rear door. Sometimes I push the bench up 90 degrees so that I can put bicycles in the center. The legs on the bench need to fold flat, otherwise they would be in the way when the bench is raised.
