Want to turn your RAV4 into a cozy camper? The right air mattress is key! Here’s how to find the perfect fit:
Step 1: Measure Up
- Cargo space: Measure the length and width of your RAV4’s cargo area with the rear seats folded down.
- Your height: Consider how tall you are to ensure you can stretch out comfortably.
Step 2: Mattress Options
- Standard sizes:
- Twin and twin XL mattresses often fit with minor adjustments.
- Full-size mattresses might fit, but check your measurements carefully.
- Queen-size is usually too large.
- RAV4-Specific Mattresses: Specialized car mattresses are tailored to the exact shape of your RAV4, maximizing space (e.g., Luno Air Mattress).
- Wheel well workaround: Some mattresses have inflatable ‘extensions’ to fit around wheel wells, adding extra length.
Additional Tips:
- Comfort: Higher mattresses are plusher but take up more space.
- Ease of use: Look for mattresses with built-in or included air pumps.
- Storage: Pick a mattress that packs down small when not in use.
Important: Always check the exact dimensions of the mattress against your own RAV4’s measurements. Model year variations can slightly affect cargo space.
Happy car camping!
