What We Think
We quite like this impressive customisation. In all honesty, we have seen a lot of SUV owners lately who have been installing such beds in their cars. These are those adventure seekers who love to travel and stay on the road. In addition to this, there are also tons of other modifications that make any car a mobile house. If you wish to travel on and off road for a large part of your time, having such aftermarket modifications might not be such a bad idea. Nevertheless, you must be aware of the compromise in safety that you are making.
