80 series seat of pants sleeping for 2 - your solutions?

My wife and I like to do semi-spur of moment road trips for long weekends, not necessarily off road.
My issue is,how to configure our twin size Memory foam AND the gear needed for the trip in the back of our 80 series in a way that I don’t have to pull everything out any time we need anything. This cruiser does either gear or sleeping great. But not both together. I have build many diy versions of “platforms but no sooner I complete one I need to yank it so we can pick up tile,rocks,wood, etc and a permanent drawer/ platform is just too high for day to day loading in/ out. My latest version is with 4 17 gl. Black/yellow HD,Costco containers for our “stuff”, a trimmed sheet of plywood on top of that, memory foam on top of that. 17 gal. Boxes still gives us headroom to sleep & sit up. I can pull out any 1( one) box at a time to access items without collapsing. Still not ideal. Even then my Engle fridge gets left home ☹
Any creative advise is welcome

If you are frugal, and patient, and don’t mind buying used, you can get this done for less than $1000.
