Dreamcase Model Y camping

[svebiker]

Where can you actually stay overnight? Let's say for example I wanted to drive from the Bay Area to Seattle and wanted to stay somewhere around half way - where would someone that has done this more often stay? I'm looking to try this eventually.

Download the RV Parky app, this will show you all of the camp grounds in your areas

Also order one of these Gen 2 NEMA Adapters
14-50 from the Tesla store, it’s what’s the majority of the RV parks use for electrical hookup and to charge your Tesla.

Do you need to put something behind the front seats to support the mattress so that it doesn't sag?

I do not with the exped. It does hang over to where you would think it would sag, but it doesn't at all. I guess the air preasure from the weight of your shoulders down + the foam in the mattress is enough to keep it rigid even over the empty spots past where the rear seat head rests are.

Would like to hear if someone has actually slept overnight as a couple. Im sure it would be fine for single guys but not sure if wife would be happy. Thinking I might sleep in a small tent and wife can sleep in car with her CPAP machine.

I have slept in it by myself and it was fine. I will be sleeping in it for a 2 day camping trip this weekend with another person. I will report back after that.

Just got my MY back from Tesla. Here is the Exped 10 Medium Double size in the model Y. It gets a little scrunched on the wheel wells, but it fits almost perfectly otherwise. The front seats are set to my driver position. It isn't thick enough to where you absolutely can't feel the floor through it when you are positioning, but even then it feels soft because of the thin layers of memory foam. While laying flat it is very comfortable.

Hi, where did you get the Exped Megamat Duo 10 Medium? I wanted to get one as well for my Model Y, but it seems that most online retailers are out of stock. Thank you!

I order the one from “For My Tesla” great mattress with good reviews, a lot cheaper in price then the dreams

Use Portable & Comfortable Travel Sleeper in Model Y with Tesla’s “Camp Mode” or as a Home Guest Bed – ForMyTesla.com

Got mine on Amazon.

I'm back from my 3 day road trip which included 2 nights sleeping in the Model Y with another person on the Exped 10 Duo. I'm 5'11" 180 pounds, pretty average build. The girl I was with is a few inches shorter, and takes up about the same amount of space. We slept great. She was actually excited by how comfortable we were able to get. The mattress is very comfortable and we both had enough space to sleep without touching each other if needed (back to back sleeping on sides). We plugged into 14-50 outlets at RV parks both nights, and cranked the AC down nice and low too keep it cool and comfortable all night in the car. The most cumbersome part of camping inside the Model Y is organizing your stuff before hopping into the back to sleep. Trying to change/get clothes ready for the next day, or getting things out of your bags (ours were on the floor behind the front seats) while the mattress is laid out is a bit of a challenge. But we had no issue making it work.

Great report, were you able to keep the A/C going while still connected to the 14-50 power?

Did you take pictures of your mattress layout.

Yes, we used camp mode and set the temp to 64-66 and it still charged from 29 to 99% over night on the 14-50.

Only picture I have is on page one of this thread with the mattress in the back. Just picture that with a bunch of pillows strewn about haha. When packed and rolled up, the mattress fit easily in the under floor storage.

my last journey with M3 was car camping-used Exped Megamat duo-seats do not fold flat and bit tight. Took a picture of Exped in MY-seats fold flat and Megamat's gonna be awesome-took a picture to share-not inflated but packs tiny though.

Based on the photos and dimensions, this is the exact 6” depth mattress ForMyTesla is selling: Milliard Tri Folding Memory Foam Mattress with Washable Cover Twin XL (78 inches x 38 inches x 6 inches) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00DJ8HX96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TwElFb07AYR5D

ForMyTesla Matress;

Very comfy and ready to go, will be camping out in the garage tonight in camp mode, set a new profile and call it Bedroom so you can set the front seats and steering wheel etc for this set up. The front seats are pushed forward all the way.

 

[phantasms]

Barry....you ever use that Dreamcase?

Barry....you ever use that Dreamcase?

I will next week

 

[phantasms]

I will next week

Nice! Went ahead and got one anyway. The main reason we got this thing was to be a hotel room so we may as well go all the way.

Night 1. Adult & 2 small kids. A bit cramped. One kid would have been more comfortable. Bed is nice and worth it. 7 hrs of sleep. I usually get more REM though.

When I tried sleeping in my M3 with a camprest, I couldn't make full use of the length because my head had to stay on the rear seat otherwise my head would be in the gag directly behind the front seat. Is your foam mattress firm enough that it holds up your head when over this gap?
Thanks,
Stan

Sorry, I messed up my post by putting my text in previous message. Let's try again:

Just ordered the Tesmat as a Black Friday gift for myself. Hoping it works well for me.
