Happy with solo- shortening kit in Sienna

Have not slept on the bed but have been resting and relaxing in between appointments and errands. Fits with the shortening kit and second row seat pulled forward in Sienna. Customer service very helpful for assembly and pad questions.

<3 this elegant and practical bed solution

I've been searching for a practical bed option that I could use in both my Prius and my RAM ProMaster City as well as light enough to carry through the airport when I fly and rent a SUV at my destination. I regularly drive to OR and NV to work on vacant land and was looking to fly instead of making those long drives. I previously bought a modular camper box (solo bed) but that bed is 40lbs so not practical to bring on flights and wouldn't fit in most rented SUV. That camper bed only fit in my van. Hoping for a better solution, I kept searching and was delighted to find the Hele Box. This elegant bed solution checked all my requirements. I like that each leg is easily adjustable so I can level my bed instead of needing to level my vehicle, which is ideal for me because I usually arrive late and in low light. The Hele Box fit great in both my Prius and my RAM ProMaster City and I'm looking forward to flying with my Hele Box =o). Thank you so much for a creative product and I wish you great success.

Shortening Kit = Perfect Fit

First of all, absolutely happy with the Hele platform, very well crafted from solid materials. Assembled it indoor with the purchased pad, and tested for comfort. Given I napped for about 15 minutes tells me this will work well. Ordered the shortening kit which enabled it to fit perfectly in a GMC Terrain, and without having to move the passenger seat forward more than an inch or so.

Perfect camp bed!

I struggled for years trying to put a bed in my vehicle for camping. All had problems and were too heavy! This is light, storable, and I love the adjustable legs! My floor in my van is different heights though out. I also love the bag it comes with for organizing gear, slides right under. Great product ❣️

Shortening kit

Exactly what I needed for my CRV. I end up removing the wider of the two rear seats (very easy 4 bolts removal) and set the Solo box lower on stubbies. The individually adjustable legs feature came into full use last weekend when I could not find a flat area to park. Nice to have a level sleeping platform.
