Truck Camping Photo Thread

Oh, totally. There's a lot to do out there, but the windshield tour is god awful.

 

Agreed that’s insanely busy! It wasn’t bad when I stopped by for a couple hours

Friendsgiving type deal last year:






Why didn't we all do that again this year?

 

Not sure man. I asked Noah about it at that tent unveil, and it just never formed.

Kinda glad I didnt have to risk rear ending your rig like 4 times in that dust again though!

We should get out soon. You almost done with school for a bit?

 

Took it to big bend a couple weeks after buying the truck...

 

Which lo pro rack is that?

 

Which bed rack is on the blue taco?

Thank you very much.

 

Fiesta Island in San Diego

 

Where is this exactly? I live in Eureka and go to Redding every so often lol

 

Off Horse Ridge Lookout Road between 36 and Ruth Lake, between Mad River and Forest Glen.

 

How do you like the truck bed tents? Do you have to put all your gear in the cab overnight?

 

I cant speak for him, but I am planning on picking up a bed tent and also picked up one of these to start with. Holds all my current gear is lockable and decently weather resistant. Ties down in my bed with 2 15 inch bungees, when I get to camp I can just leave it on the ground or in the cab if really need be. The added bonus is it gives me a gear storage option at home stashed in the guest room closet.

 

I also cant speak for the other person, but I got the rightline tent, its a open bottom tent so I dont need to pack up all my stuff when I move, just put the tonneau cover over it. But the tonneau cover can act as a shelf if folded down 1-2 parts. Alternately, with a open bottom tent I can build a platform and my gear can fit under the mattress.

 

Oh, nice!! I always assumed they have a bottom. But why should they, when you've got a composite platform, capable of holding 1,500lbs, supported by a shock-absorbing steel frame with rubber insulative shoes, right there.

 

Havent camp in a while, this was the last time, my friend was so afraid to lay his old tent on the floor that he made a weird set up on my truck bed


This one below , same place but different date.

 

The Rightline does not have a tub so it still gives you access to have stuff in the bed. The ProZ and Napier Sport Z have tubs which eliminates that option.

biggest questions I have come up with is other than the Napier Sport Z the other options all seem to be for a 6 foot bed not the short box, but I see a lot of guys still using them so I am assuming it is not a big deal fitment wise?

 

Yeah, had to put it all in the truck overnight - or use the bear boxes available at some of the camp sites.

I don't camp much so I don't have much to compare it to but I thought it worked pretty well. The wheel wells make it a little awkward to set up but 2 of us fit in there comfortably and I was able to set up and break down pretty quickly by myself.
