Camper Shell top tent

Bringing back an old thread, any of you happen to be selling one of these? Really like the practicality of them!

 

Don't know if still for sale, but this is over in the marketplace. I had just purchased a rightline SUV tent to use with my shell, or I would have jumped on this!

Thanks for the info!

 

Hi all! I'm new to the site and would love some input from you guys This thread is full of awesome ideas! I have a 2014 short bed and want to modify it for cross country camping. I have a high top shell and not sure if my truck would need the mid or full size due to the extra height. Thanks in advance!

 

Hi @sarahthehoff! I'd say likely the larger one...but just to be sure, what is the height from the back window to the tailgate when fully open?

 

Actually, I take that back...it's mainly based on the width of the tailgate. The larger one would likely be a little baggy side-to-side. Unfortunately, the smaller one will not fit perfectly but it'll still work (see the image earlier in the thread of the white tacoma with the black hi-top camper - that's the medium size).

Awesome, thanks for the info @ndub86 Have just ordered a mid-size, so excited! Will have to post pictures once on the road...

 

Welcome to TW! Awesome view behind you.

 

I had one for years and loved it. I bought it from Campmor.
Softopper apparently makes poles that work to keep the tent in proper shape. They sell the tents on their website.

 

I have the full-sized DAC tent for my Leer 180. The fit is definitely a little baggy - but I have a tad more head room at the entry way.

Rear View:

 

These are absolutely awesome ideas.

Just built a sleeping platform in mine and was looking for a solution. Me wife doesn’t want a bear dragging us out by the feet.

I built an extension box to attach to the bed section that sits on the tailgate.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

 

Can someone please post a picture of a leer 180 shell with a med-sized DAC tent, how much height is lost when the back window is opened?
I'm torn between the full size (baggy on the truck, but more head room) or the med size (fits perfectly on the truck, but might stretch and not be able to fully open the back window) Thanks!

 

Campmoor has a 20% off coupon on these which I believe makes them cheaper then Amazon. I will probably be ordering one when my cap arrives!

Can anyone please post a picture of of a leer 180 shell with a med size DAC tent on? Or please message me. I want to order one but don't know if I will be loosing head room and stretch the fabric if I go with the med. one vs the full size.

Thanks!

 

hey guys im currently looking at a napier tent for my truck. i cant seem to find an answer and was wondering if anyone had the answer to this. will the napiers that work with a regular truck bed work with a truck with a camper like the dac tent will? i dont want the the extra walk in area, im just looking to add another foot to my short bed so i can fit good.

 

Napier suv/van tent works perfect

 

Mine got shipped yesterday looking forward to it. I got the 84000 for a deal so I probably got bigger than I needed lol

 

Nice set up

 

Theyre actually built better than i expected. Mines an older model so hopefully theyre still made well now. Youll love it. Enjoy

 

Anyone who doesnt know already, a double size air mattress fits our beds perfect
