I had looked at those, too, @crtac37 - we have a Kia Sedona Every month or so, our kids spend the weekend with grandma and grandpa (after a self-quarantine period on both sides, of course). So last year my wife expressed interest in getting a pop-up to go away for the weekend. BUT, like most outdoor gear last year, the quality stuff couldn't be found and the stuff that could be found wasn't quality. So... I bought a set of heavy duty plastic utility shelves (you know those black, four-shelf snap together kits). With the last row seats stowed and the middle seats flipped up and pushed forward, I put the legs on the bottom of each shelf and then set them inside the van. It covers the back almost wall to wall (about 3" of space on each side and about 4" of space at the front and back of the shelves) to make a platform capable of holding about 1000 pounds. We can set a comfortable queen sized mattress on top with about 2' of space above the mattress and plenty of storage space under the shelves. It take about 5 minutes to set up, nothing to attach to the vehicle, no reduction in gas mileage because I'm not towing anything, and we can be ready to head out the door in under 30 minutes from the time we decide to go to the time we pack and load. The shelves cost me $60 at one of the big box home improvement stores and the mattress... well, they vary but a few years ago I found a Coleman mattress at a second hand store (new, still in the box) for $10. But even a full price mattress at under $100 and you have a great, inexpensive set up. Added benefit - if inclement weather forces you to abort your plans, there's no take-down time. Just slide into the drivers seat, start the car, and drive off. Right now, because it's winter, it's all in my basement otherwise I'd set it up and take some pictures
