Here's how one guy did it.

At the end it shows it attached to a tent.

 

Thanks for video, thats exactly what I was thinking to do. Looks like the front seats are moved all the way up and you would have about 6 feet of room.

 

It's all fun and games until you're living in a Patriot down by the river!

 

That was creative. The music was also strangely intense...

 

I imagine the old adage applies: If the Jeep's a rockin', don't come knockin'?

My wife and I used to camp in our Caravan, which we just sold last weekend.

Some good camping memories......

 

I hope you lysol'd the back haha

 

I usually take the truck when camping, and if only in a place for the night, we just load everything into the cab, and sleep on an air mattress in the back. It's an 8 foot bed, so I fit well.

If staying longer, we'll set up the tent, and all the camp stuff.

 

I did in my old cherokee and plan on it in this too... I still haven't talked the wife into it yet haha

 

I have a Cherokee also,never slept in it. Do you know if the Patriot is the same size in the rear as the Cherokee ? My wife would not even think about sleeping in the Pat..epper:

 

Shoe prints are hard to get out of the headliner. Just as an FYI

I had a futon I put in my Caravan and old Cherokee. Haven't tried it in the Patriot.

 

A twin air mattress fits

 

I slept in my Compass once. I'm only about 5' 6" so I slept comfortably. I folded the front passenger seat down and the back seats down. Was a better stay than some hotels I've stayed at before!

Here is a video so you can get an idea (skip ahead to 2:30).

 

If you can avoid it, do not use an air-matress for camping.

Air-matresses hold the cold-air temperature and is the main reason people wake up feeling cold when camping and can put a real dampener on the whole camping experience for the wives and girlfriends.

It may be fine for the odd-night of camping, but ideally there are much better options now on the market in most camping stores.

.

 

Most air mattresses also slowly deflate throughout the night so you're pretty much on the ground by the time morning rolls around. I have a multi-chambered air mattress that's only a few inches high when inflated (and never lost air!) and a 20° sleeping bag so I'm toasty. It depends on what you buy.

Though I'm pretty sure I'll have to stick to tents since I'm over 6' tall. Sleeping in the Patriot sounds like it'll be a little tight for me.

 

I've got a Coleman SUV airbed that fits perfectly inside and isn't a bad option, but there isn't a lot of room to sit up:

And I'm taking this out next week on a 7 day road trip:
