The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of collapsing and storing them in place (thanks, 1der). I'm thinking of a 24" deep unit on the passenger side with 24" slide out bed slats and an 18" unit on the driver side. When the 18" unit is collapsed, I'll have about a 33" passageway to the rear door. Since the bed slats slide to stow, there won't be a heavy piece of plywood to wrestle around. I may or may not make the passenger side unit collapsible since the end will butt up to a 2' deep refrigerator so collapsing it won't increase the passage way width. It and the refrigerator will still be removable if need be.
With the driver side unit collapsed, I still should be able to haul a 4 x 8 piece of plywood tipped up at an angle. A sheet of plywood is my worst case hauling scenario.
Your comments are really helping my design ideas evolve.
