Make your Lexus RX 350 SUV into a RV Camper Van for stealth camping

These 1/4" T-nuts were my secret sauce for making this deck: amzn.to/3mIIZeU
They say that Lexus owners camp at the "Hilton".
I thought that was pretty funny. I guess they didn't know that people like me would end up owning a Lexus.
I have made some decks for camping in our Suburban, and I thought it would be good to make something for the SUV that would make it really good to camp in.
When I bought this vehicle, I was thinking about getting a Toyota Sienna to use for camping and stealth camping.
I ended up going with the RX 350, and now it is time to get it ready for some serious camping.
I use a piece of 44x48 inch plywood for the deck, a 51 inch 2x3 from Home Depot for the cross beam, and a 3/4 inch 4 foot dowel.
The funnest part was making the crosspiece that connects from the passenger seat to the headrest. It is surprisingly strong. With the two pieces of the head rest holding it in place, and the weight on the other end resting on the 2x3. It is pretty strong.
Now I just need to hook up my bike rack and we are ready to go!
