Truck Tents

Post by ExMoparMan »

Does anybody have any experance with the Sport tents that fit in the bed of your truck? I am wondering if it will fit in the short crew cab bed okay. I am about 6' tall and dont know if I will fit in the bed of my truck :lol: My better half and I are thinking about getting one if it will work to travel around with this summer. any info anyone has would be helpful. :D

From GM Accessories Zone:



Image
Turn your GMC Sonoma pickup into a camper in a matter of minutes. This self-contained tent, with inner walls and a reinforced polyurethane mesh floor, fits snugly into the truck bed. With waterproof vents covering four large, meshed windows for excellent ventilation and rain protection, the tent is roomy enough to sleep two people. The lightweight unit fits into a small carrying pouch for convenient storage behind the cab seat.
Price listed for two colors but, both fit fleetside shortbox.



I've seen quite a few of these and similar products for 6 & 7 foot beds but, never for the extra short crew cab bed.

the only prob is. who goes camping with nothing in the bed. when i am out, my bed is full of stuff. so the tent on the ground is still more practical IMO :)

Because when I get up the next morning I step down instead of getting off the ground :D I find that as I get older I tend to use gravity to my advantage when ever possible :lol:

This is the first one that I've seen that even acknowledges the existence of a tailgate...



The "Sportz Tent II"

But, as far as I can tell, not available in extra short bed length.
