My Expo unit

[Enigma]

1990 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series, VX LTD package. 4.2 litre turbo diesel, automagic tranny, factory electric locking differentials front, rear, and a center diff lock for the "full time" four wheel drive. Weighs close to 3 ton and gets 22 mpg
The VX ltd's came with a center console fridge and ice maker that runs off the a/c system. Yes, I said ice maker The fridge holds 12 cans of your favourite beverage, and there is a little ice compartment to make about 3 cubes at a time. Mine is missing the trays and door for that unfortunatly.
It also has a factory "Action Adventure" package, which consists of curtains for the rear hatch and side windows. This package, as I understand it, allowed dealers to install various types of camping kits, which included raised sleeping platforms, a single burner gas stove, and a sink. Apparently they got a deal on insurance by having this option in Japan.
So mine has a tubular steel raised platform in the back storage area, with 4 fabric covered pads that velcro down on it for a sleeping platform. There was a gas stove and a sink, along with a small table as well, but I took those out and use my regular camping gear instead. You have to fold the back seats down to lay all the pads on. It sleeps 2 adults fairly comfortably, 2 adults and 2 kids uncomfortably.
I recently acquired a new ARB fridge which will be going in the back as well, this will reduce the sleeping area in half.
A trailer of some kind, with a RTT is in the future plans.

Can that tent fold up with the sleeping bags and pillows in it, or do you have to empty it before closing?
