Truck Bed Platform Review: BamBeds Solo & Hele Outdoors Hele Box

08:17 Conclusion

Family camping out of a truck, SUV, or Van means often making the most of limited space. Over the past 6+ months I’ve been using two platforms that both solve this problem well: the BamBeds Solo platform and the Hele Outdoors Hele Box.

Both create a flat, elevated sleeping surface and free up gear storage but they do it differently:

BamBeds Solo: Rock solid stability, lower profile for more headroom, and storage for two large Hefty 63 qt bins. 1,500lb capacity.

Hele Outdoors Hele Box: Slimmer footprint, modular design, and enough clearance for four Sidiocrate 2.0 crates underneath. 250lb capacity.

I use each setup and based on the pros and cons of each camping scenario. If you’re looking to sleep in the vehicle and store your gear, this walk-through should save you time and money. It took months of trying different platforms and bins and lots of measuring (and sleeping).

We didn't receive any items promotionally, so there were costs from our trial and error that we're hoping to save you as well.
