Excited to fit a large bed with the second row seats stowed under the floor. Can’t wait to travel and camp with my spouse and 2 kids. Plan is for wife and one kid to sleep in the minivan, while my other kid and I will sleep on a roof top tent.

There likely is a maximum weight limit on the roof. Perhaps you need to check first.
100% agree! I am buying the lightest rooftop tent on the market (~80 lbs) and plan to beef up the cross bars / roof rail setup before mounting (Found some great ideas on this forum). Lastly, I plan to go on a diet and lose some weight 😂
Most roof top tent companies claim that the published load rating for the roof is a dynamic load (i.e. when moving down the road) and that the static load is something like 6-8 times higher.
Nice!
I have a plywood that we used in our 2014 T&C as a bed platform. You just reminded me I want to check if it fits in our new 2021 Pacifica! Thanks!
Also, going to search the forums now for other posts about minivan camping!

I spend a lot of night camping in the bed of my Ram 1500 and am excited for camping in the pacifica when we get it as well. If you haven't slept on the mega mats from Exped I highly recommed them., They are pricey and in short supply right now but are super comfortable and great in many situations. The medium sizes fit between the wheel wells of a truck bed and they also have larger mats.
Thx for the tip on the mega mats. I’ve heard great feedback on them as well. I ended up going with a foam mattress inside the van but would definitely consider a mega mat for tent camping.
