Sounds like a great trip. That is a great looking Dog. Back seats should just unbolt. Have fun!

 

Thanks. Decided to take out front passenger seat. Put memory foam topper in back with seats folded down. Very comfy. Still getting ready for trip!

Welcome to the forum!
I haven't don't it personally, but seat removal should be fairly straightforward.

 

Front seats can be removed no problem, especially if they're not powered. But you kinda need one to sit in. However, there's nothing but maybe some soundproofing or something between the backseat and the fuel tank. If you remove the rear seats, you'll need to figure something out. However, in case you haven't been told or figured it out yourself yet, you can tug firmly on the straps at each end of the top of the rear seat backs, and fold them down for more rear cargo space. Middle seat belt can be retracted to the D-pillar and hooked in there, just need a key or something to unhook it from its spot in the back seat.

 

 

I’m not sure a person can sleep in a Patriot. They are small and I have tried to in mine, I’m 5’7” and did not fit. However, the two Cherokees we owned were perfect for both my husband and I to car camp in! Good luck and keep us updated on the conversion.

PS, sorry about Cowboy. Animals become part of the family, don't they? I had a cat for 21 years. I still miss the little guy.

 

Friendly suggestion. If you have the CVT transmission, I suggest you get the tranny fluid and filters (2) changed. Maintenance should be twice as often as the owners manual recommends.
