Really enjoyed your video! I have a mid size Canyon with a soft topper too and have been lamenting about not having a larger bed or a hard shell cap. I'm inspired to try some grab and go camping like yourself and try a night in the bed. Will have to sleep at an angle but that is no problem. My only issue is finding places nearby that since my state's parks open mid May.

@FatMatAdventures

From what I understand, it's best to camp in the designated dispersed camp sites up there. Camping on the side of the road can potentially be dangerous if there are folks up there drinking and driving. There are a handful of campsites up there that are nice. But to answer your question, I'm not 100 percent if it's legal or not to camp on the side of the road. Sorry about that.
