Diy RTT...kinda

My solution to truck based sleep system. No need to level, and can be used off the truck as well.

These pics are proof of concept still needs a little but of refining but had to share because my lady friend just rolled her eyes and I need some one to appreciate the awesomeness other than myself.

but I have thought about it more than once.

 

$20 if you park it over the ledge:


(edit, NOT my pic, stolen from the gram)

 

I had a matress under the tailgate when I tested it, my faith in the physics was not a 100%. A 320 pound Sasquatch dangling from a one inch steel tube did not seem like it should work. But it did... so I took a nap... it is super comfy.

 

Update: Dialed in lines, split poles, added bug net, and tarp. Tarp needs a little work but it will keep me dry. I could use a smaller storage sack if space was an issue but an old ruck works great. Its no RTT but it is comfortable and cost less than $100.

 

I love this. I'm curious to see how you secure the tarp for wind.

 

bungies and duct tape.

 

creative!

 

Love it. Both my style and my budget. Rock on.

 

Bungies worked great, but I am thinking I can fashion some clamps out of PVC pipe and clamp the tarp to the stand. That may be next weeks project.

 

Just comes down to the shape. A big giant square tarp is going to bunch up and be hard to tie down, but you can cut it up and glue the seams/edges so you need minimal tie-downs and get a better fit.

 

Nice

 

I can dig it. Very creative. Looks comfortable too.
