Awesome stuff! Now if you ever want to sell the vehicle you can advertise it as a "camper" and double the price of what you bought it for 😎 Looking forward to your adventures! 😁 Enjoy those Bunnings sausage sizzles lol 🌭
Hi Ross, glad you joined the x-trail gang! The elevated platform definitely has its pros and cons but you can base the platform height around your essential items (e.g. fridge, cookware, outdoor gear, etc.). The ability to stealth camp while not having to move everything to the front seat was definitely worth the squeeze. Depending on your plans and how much you will be travelling, you can also take the rear seats out which would allow a lower platform and increase storage space. We got used to the minimal head room pretty quickly and made a few upgrades as we travelled and had no issues. Recently we added a rooftop tent as well as the platform and it has been worth every penny. Definitely the best set up and you can often find great deals on Facebook marketplace.
