    Thank you.
    The rack & tent comes off, it slides into the up-rights.

    Can I see some pictures on the bed tents insides? Preferably on a short bed, I wonder if it could sleep two and still be comfy.

    I haven't slept 2 in the bed but I have laid with my girlfriend in the back to see how comfortable it is and it wasn't bad. If between the wheel wells isn't wide enough just add 2x6 (i believe) as support with a piece of plywood on top to get the full width above the wheel wells.

    Can someone tell me what this tent is sitting on? I like this and can't figure out what set up is supporting it!


    I saw that in a previous post and I think maybe a soft top and that would be a nice function.

    Slides in to what up-rights?

    I really like this trailer and the fact that you set this up to haul your dirt bike as well. I would like to do something like this as well. Great idea............

    Well then, would the factory bed rail system be able to support the tent plus lets say 340lbs (me plus wife) with those bars I see another member making? I could even add more tie downs/bars to better distribute the weight.

    its on my rack - which I had custom made to my truck and height restrictions. roof top tents like mine can go on anything though - full bed racks to cross bars like the exporter system from thule. just depends on what suits you.

    I believe so. Also look up Allpro offroad, I know they make a bed rack that is cab high, not sure exactly how much weight it can hold but enough for at least 2 people and the tent.

    MTgirl those bed tents and the pictures of the bed rack are exactly was I was looking for. Looks like I will be going for the truck tent rout as I don't have plans for a bed rack, the set up looks amazing but a bit more than what I need right now.

    :thumbsup: glad to help. RTT's are awesome but given their price tag they're not usually the first choice.

    The price is high but they are way more insulated, going to be dryer in a rain storm, and higher off the ground than a tent in the back of your truck. I went camping this last weekend and 2 of the guys had just gotten them and they loved it. One of them actually slept in past 9am, said it was so comfortable he didn't want to get out haha

    They are comfy and if you're a serious camper they are so worth it. I don't think I could ever go back to sleeping on the ground.

    I refer to mine as my "penthouse suite" :laugh:
