If you have a westy, I have one with AC, you can staack the rear matress to stand up and slide in upright perfectly behind the back seat, that way your grill and such dosen't mess up your well whatever you sleep on. also the westy 'arm' holders are great for the ladies, leg, leg....take off from there.

I love my westy
