Truck Bed Tent

Before I send you running to a merchant site buying your first truck bed tent, let me first ask you few question

Do you like outdoor camping but you dislike the hassle of setting up a tent and sleeping on the ground with no protection? If you own a pick up truck and you answered yes to my question, pickup truck tent is the right product for you.

While camping at my favorite camping site this last summer, I was introduced to a truck tent camper by a good friend of mine. We both own the same kind of trucks – Toyota Tacoma (TRD). To tell you the truth, I had to have it for the sample reason that sleeping in a tent is not my cup of tea nor comfortable when the ground is not leveled off.

Setup a Truck Bed Tent

I was also amazed on how easy really is to setup this pickup truck tent. Just to make a point however, you may want to setup your truck bed tent at least once before hitting out for a camping trip. That will make it easier for you once you’re out there, ok. I would say that there are about 5 solid steps to get a pickup bed tent setup and here they are:

1. Take your tailgate down and set the tent on top of it
2. Secure the tent with straps using your truck outside lips
3. Setup your tent like you would normally do
4. Secure the inside straps to the truck bed
5. You’re done. There is no step five J

Now, as other truck bed accessories, you may need to consider a truck bed air mattress for extra comfort. I mean you see the benefit of having this kind of setup. Comfort to me is the number one reason to why I got it then safety. You’re above the ground safe from any flooding or animal sniffing around (I got attacked by a raccoon on my last camping trip, no joke; the raccoon even eat all my bag of chips). Another benefit, I just like the fact that all my items are secure inside my track while I go for a surfing session or a hike. Not to mention, truck bed tent is supper cozy when you have a girlfriend tagging along.
