1. A modular bed and seat system for use in a vehicle having a rear cargo area defined by at least two side walls and a floor, the modular bed and seat system comprising:
a pair of side panels each having a front side, a rear side, an inner side, an outer side, a top side, and a bottom side, the inner side of each side panel including at least two of mounting apertures; and
a plurality of support panels each including a first piece telescopingly affixed with a second piece, the first piece and second piece when mutually engaged forming the support panel having a top side, a bottom side, a front side, a rear side, and two opposing lateral sides, a spring mechanism urging the two opposing lateral sides away from each other, two mounting prongs projecting laterally away from each lateral side and adapted for engaging two of the mounting apertures on the inner side of one of the side panels;
whereby with each side panel mounted to the at least two side walls of the rear cargo area of the vehicle, each support panel is compressed by pushing each lateral side mutually together against the spring mechanism to allow the mounting prongs of the support panel to become aligned with the mounting apertures on the inner side of one of the side panels, and then released to allow the mounting prongs of the support panel to become engaged with the mounting apertures on the inner side of one of the side panels.
