I got a Napier Sportz Truck Tent III from autoanything.com





I wish I had gotten a good inflatable mattress designed for the truck bed. That's definitely going to be ordered before I go camping again.

How do you like your Truck Tent III and complaints?

 

It worked great! I like being off the ground when camping. I wasn't a huge fan of how the straps that hold it down can rub against the paint, but it came with nice fluffy pads to prevent scratching. It was a PITA to try and get the tent to fit back into the original box, but I suppose that's true of all tents!

Setup was pretty easy, and it doesn't take but a minute to toss the tent on the ground if you wanted to take the truck and head out somewhere.

I have the same one as NCSU. I also have the inflatable bed mattress, its very nice!

Too bad you have the 6.5 bed, I'd sell you the mattress for cheap. I never get a chance to use it anymore.

 

Will your mattress fit a 5.5 bed? If so, I'm interested.

 

i dunno how it would work for me and my 5.5 ft bed. Im 6'5" soooo Im gonna say I need to stick with my ground tent

 

Just a thought, but I just had a BedRug installed in my truck bed and love it. It's a very nice option and would probably make a pretty nice sleeping surface. Of course an air mattress would be even better, but the BR would probably be just fine along with a sleeping bag. Plus, its also pretty functional for other uses as well. It would make the whole bed area a lot nicer for a camping environment, and cleans up with a shop vacuum.

I just typed in 'truck tent' on ebay and got this for 70 dollars, works great.

 

Is that for a 5.5ft bed? If so, how tall are you? Lol. Im 6'5'' and have a 5'5'' bed. But I figure with the tailgate down it shouldnt be a problem.

 

oh wow i never saw one of these before.. i am SOOOOOO buying one before this years big offroad trip

 

Before or after you get an HHO setup?

Yea these are pretty awesome. I should pick up one. But I got a tool box so it wouldnt fit the same.

 

That's a 6.5 ft bed, that particular tent works the same with 8 ft beds, just goes to the end of the bed instead of the gate in that scenario. I suppose you could squeeze it on a 5.5 ft bed but it wouldn't be as tight and probably hold water.

 

May want to get your reading glasses checked out and re read the thread you are referring to.
