Overall, I would rate my initial ear-camping trial as a 7-8 out of 10. Although not at all "luxury", the mattress was more comfortable than initially expected. It made for a relatively restful night, given the change of space. Any issues were minor ones (HVAC sound, pillow vs open space behind the front seats) that can be easily managed and have already been solved by many online. I heard no bears or monsters, only Tommy arriving home around 12:40. I'll be looking around this week for a fair price to remove the added roof tint now that I have confirmed the interior roof shade I have is a viable and simple solution for the summer sun. I am tempted to look for retractable aftermarket options, they're a bit costly and hard to justify on a fixed income. I had a sincere and serious intention to tackle the full day's backlog of tasks, yet as the morning inched along and I thought more about things, I wanted to coast. So I got up and started on the tasks before I talked my­self out of it. I got a lot done, as did Jen. All household maintenance, upkeep, yardwork, not­hing noteworthy. It just felt productive and rewarding to have gotten ahead rather than fallen behind.
