Megamat storage

There was a question about what we do with the mattress during the day. It compresses pretty flat and we just store our bags or whatever on top of it during the day. When the couch is in the seating position the bags don't slide forward when you hit the brakes.

Cool that your keeping the van, at least for now. It's a good one.

We have an Exped Megamat too, currently not in use. I love the thing. It may go in my CCV top van if she doesn't like the basic setup it came with.

I was skeptical on the price of these at first until I read all the reviews on REI.

Now I'm a firm believer. Hahaha! Get it? FIRM believer.

One other note I would make is that the insurance on the new StoryTeller was going to be about $2,000 per year and at least I won't have to pay that.
