My first post, I just joined! Hello from Wadmalaw Island, S.C. !
I haven't been camping in years and ready to get back into it. Especially now, my youngest son is old enough to do just fine. I always used a tent for camping and a air mattress for comfort.
I have seen those truck tents in magazines and catalogs and thought they look great. It gets you off the ground and in theory one could pop it up wherever the truck ended up. They have them with a floor or no floor. My first thought was with floor, wouldn't have to worry about truck bed being spotless, but..... everything would have to come out to set it up then put back in basically. Other con, it would be good for a one nighter. If you wanted to drive somewhere the thing would have to be broke down and put up. However, I do have a tonneau cover so I would probably just drop it inside the bed and roll out the cover over it and not have to worry about anything blowing out or whatever. Also, it's a two person max tent, not really a family tent. It would only be good for a solo camping/fishing trip.
So, does anyone have any experience with these or know someone with one?
