Sleeping in the car

We spent almost a month car camping out of the 2012 Scion Xb. If you move the seats up and put something in the dead space to brace the last few inches of the 4 inch memory foam pad you can sleep 2 comfortably and be able to extend your legs completely. We used our packs and extra compression pillows to brace the small space to form a sold bed. We woke up looking at streams and mountains and on other nights people coming and going from the bathrooms of the rest areas, Some travelers and others seeking a safe place to sleep for the night like us. Oregon is one of 6 states that allow overnight sleeping in highway rest areas and they have some very nice ones with bathrooms and free coffee if you happen to be there the day the program has it's camper parked out front. You are only suppose to stay 12 hours in a 24 hour period but there were many RV's parked with generators and it was obvious they didn't move during the day.
