    I've been browsing around TW but everything I'm finding is about RTT or bed tents for the long bed. Could someone suggest some inexpensive truck tents for a 5' bed that has a bottom? I don't want bugs to crawl inside with me. Thanks, Bill.

    The only one made for a 60" bed is made by rightline gear, no floor though. i have been looking too. i just got a response from Napier costumer service yesterday and they wont have a tent on the market for a mid sized short bed until 2015.

    This^^^ I had one prior to getting my shell and new tent enclosure. The tent was OK, the material didnt last too long inside the bed. I always swept the bed out but ended up with a lot of tears and such.

    This is how I used to roll...

    This is how I roll now...

    The only thing I miss about the old tent is the extra head room that I no longer have.
