Subject:      Eureka! Better upper bunk sleeping!

Camping last weekend I realized a better way. My foam master dissuaded me from using latex above since he said it too thin up there to give good rest. He recommended "High Resiliency" foam which I bought and it works fine. But, I miss me latex.

Soooo, I realized if I buy two latex pieces the thickness of the two OEM pieces combined, with covers, kept the rear one snapped in place and stowed the front one over the engine compartment, and deployed it in the usual spot with snaps like the OEM, after flipping the front support down, all will be WELL. In fact, I can replace the too thin front support with UHMW, or thicker plywood and it won't bow. Mo betta!

Any detractors??
