CyberScreen Bed Extension Camping Mod

[kpett]

I was inspired by @puchanix's bed screen cover, but wanted more breathing room...and leg room. These pics are missing the velcro connections, but will give you the idea. I have toyed with the idea of using piano hinges to fold it up and hold it all together but am starting with the easier assembly.

My local screen company put it together for $100 saving me $2,875 over the CyberTent. I will be testing it out this weekend and will share my thoughts.

That is what I am looking for. Which company did this?

Great idea. Looking forward to your thoughts after testing.

Action Screens in Vancouver, WA. Paul custom built it on the fly. He has a lot of experience and was great to work with. He has the measurements to make more if you need one.

Thanks. I was hoping it was in SoCal.

Doesn't look bear-proof

What's not clear from your pictures, is how you enter/exit it. Does the aft screen swing up? Nothing quite like getting up to go pee in the middle of the night; and not having much time to get to your destination!

Might not even stop a Koala falling thru, from a gun tree!

Good point...but I feel just as safe as a tent. Guess I could crawl into my cooler if things get hairy.

I am testing out for the first time tomorrow night. It is secured together by velcro and is strong enough to stick together when you slide it out. It is easier than a tent zipper and slides back in easily.

I have thought about sliding the tonneau cover back, but you would still need to move the screen.

I have also thought about trading the velcro on the back piece for piano hinges. I have them on order, but the clearance isn't that good so it would be an awkward slide. I will probably send them back to the great Amazon in the sky.
