Napier Sportz Truck Tent Review

What's up TW,

I recently bought a Napier Sportz Truck tent and couldn't find too many reviews on here about it so I'm writing one up real quick!

I have a 2015 Taco access cab 6' bed. The tent was $170 shipped (not terrible) and arrived quickly and nicely packaged. Takes about 30 minutes to set up the first time. Maybe 15-20 minutes with two people after that. It uses straps and buckles to attach itself to your truck via fenders and underneath your tail gate so it does not scratch up your truck or anything. It comes with a floor so you don't have to worry about sleeping on your truck bed.

First time out, I parked my truck on our camp site and set the puppy up! It works great. Kept my gf and I dry during the evening rains. Not a single bug got in (gf's main concern). It had plenty of headroom and was very spacious for 2 people. You could easily fit 2 people in there with kids or with a dog or whatever. Just be sure to park on flat ground!

Here's the link for the one I bought (Note: I bought on a cheaper website):

Hit me up with questions!

Cheers

 

What is the part number? Looking for one for my dcsb

 

13044 for the 6' bed. 13890 for the short bed. It's on the sizing tab of the link I provided

 

Nice job on the review! Looks like a nice tent.

 

@S and J or @voz if you ended up buying one:

I see this has a rain fly, but on the backroadz model, it appears that the front mesh door is not really protected by the fly. Am I missing something? Is the mesh door protected from rain? Is the door in fact mesh on the outside as it appears to be?

 

@Lomez I did not purchase Napier.
I purchased this one ---> http://www.bargainoutfitters.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=417167
Used it once and it worked like a champ... I will most likely use it about 3-4 per summer..

 

@voz

Thanks! Did you buy the full size or compact? We both have a DCSB and the full size has to be too big right?

 

I got the compact, fits well. The rods that go towards the front of the truck hang on the outside of the bed, i learned the hard way
Rain fly works well, but it sure cuts off circulation .. I happen to have a 10x10 easy up canopy that i slid over tent and truck, kept rain away and provided much needed circulation..

 

That was going to be my exact plan (easy up over the top when feasible). Unfortunately they are out of stock on the compact.

 

That sucks, Hope you don't need it quickly..

 

@voz I have the napier and it poured on me a few times and I stayed 100% dry. You can take off the rain guard during the day to get a little air in. I love it.

 

Rain fly worked to keep rain out, but it got awfully stuffy in there..

 

Yea it does, I take it off if it isn't gonna rain

 

I have a DCLB version I need to sell. Only used once before I moved to tundra.

 

That looks sweet how much you selling that for if it is not already sold??

 

OP, I bought the exact tent you have. Did you also purchase an inflatable bed, or any sort of mat to put down inside?

 

I bought an air mattress and it fit inside as long as you waited to air it up until it was inside the tent
