Has anyone flipped down their rear seats and slept in their car overnight on a road t
 
Just wondering if anyone has tried this.

Depending on how big you are, you could probably do it. Wouldn't be the best sleep of your life though lol.

The shorter you are the better, get a sleeping pad

There are several threads on this. You can sleep anyplace you can fit. The trunk of this or any car is as good a place as any. Like Hum I have slept in places that would make many scream in horror.

I slept in the passenger seat of my car during a trip from AZ to OK. Pulled over at 2am in Flagstaff because the weather got so bad that I couldn't see more than 20ft in front of me and was moving at 20mph in snow and sleet.

Slept at a rest stop until the sun came up so I could actually see. Being active duty, I grew accustomed to just sort of being able to fall asleep wherever I happened to be. It wasn't comfortable, but it's better than on rocks or in the back/front seat of a Humvee. The worst part was that it was just really cold lol.

I didn't want to leave the car running, so I had it turned off and the vehicle locked. Woke up a few hours later freezing cold lol.




Point is.. it can be done. It's not the best, but it's easily managable. If people can survive on the streets sleeping on bus benches and under bridges, one can certainly endure sleeping in a car for a night or two.

I mean, I've slept in a humvee while clad in my full battle rattle many a times. So I'm sure sleeping in a twin's trunk is a hell of a lot more comfortable.

I slept in my hearse once.

Did this for two nights at a LeMons race 2 years ago. It's not that bad if you're short (I'm 5'7"). My only suggestion is to get some type of sleeping pad as the crease where the back seat goes down has no padding so you really feel the metal bar. It's doable...if you're on the cheap like I was.

Before anybody sleeps in the car they need to read what the owners manual has to say on the subject. Yes it if addressed there.
