I am moving this weeked and everything I will be able to move with the e that's everything except my bed

I have a queen size bed if I remove the back seats will the e be able to carry the bed? What if I left the hatch opened?

Has anyone eles here moved a bed with the e?

I helped a friend move. With the seats up against the walls:

1 Twin Mattress.
1 Entire bed frame.
1 Twin box spring.
Pillows and comforters.
1 Bar stool
and about 5 boxes.

:razz:

Unrelated to the above scenario, when I was moving my Full size nearly fit, but I ended up tying it to the roof.

don't think a queen will fit, mattress on the roof sounds like an option though.

The roof option did work, although you will want to make sure of two things.

1) You don't exceed about 40 - 45 MPH
2) You have a buddy drive behind you to be sure you're not leaving your expensive luxury mattress all over the highway.

I made the mistake of cranking up to about 55 MPH, and very quickly received a call from my friend behind me whilst he was frantically flashing his lights at me :-D

I guess it was about half way off the roof when I pulled over :shock:

So just make sure it's tied down tight and aerodynamic, and you should be fine for a nice safe trip without any comfy casualties.

Run a line fore and aft to keep the wind from lifting the front up. THats where most of the trouble comes from. (and of course side to side)

If it's just a mattress. I've had a temper pedic king in the back; rolled it up and tied it like a rug. Just yesterday I fit a double in the back. Box springs are a whole different store full max; on an angle.
