Truck tent's

Kilo's right! Take all the stuff you've hauled out there and do what with it? Put it under the truck to have water get to it if it rains, don't make sense. Also, once your set up and want to go to the store or just riding around...gotta break camp. Get a real tent and be able to use your truck or better yet a $60,000 motor home and tow the Taco

 

my main reason for buying the tent was to have my gear set apart from my regular tent when im camping...and like jhodge said if you need to go anywhere i just take the poles out and and go...that being said, i use it more for going to the beach or bay....

 

The big thing for a truck tent is to get off the ground. I can't count the number of times I've had a rock under my sleeping bag or water in the tent because it rained and A) the camp site collected water -or- B) a nearby river/stream/creek flooded.

It also keeps you away from animals like snake or scorpions if you're in the desert.

 

this is sweet

 

I plan on buying a Soft Top for my Taco and using that as a tent. Only problem is if I'm sleeping in my Bed, where do I store all my shit?

 

store it in your tent

 

jpinsd, does that tent fit an access cab short bed?

 

the one i bought is made for any 2005+ tacoma w/a 6 ft bed...

 

All Access Cabs have the long bed.

 

duh, I meant double cab. I have a short bed double cab

 

Check this at Autohome. I have one ordered. Looks like it will be pretty sweet. http://www.autohomeus.com/ Spendy though. Can't wait for my Toyota Stimulus Package from the Gov'mint.

This is my solution. Haven't used it yet but I've set it up in the living room and its pretty sweet. Very well built.

 

If your setting up for a few days at an event - you cannot beat this tent. Recommend you also get an air mattress and rubber bed mat to save your knees.

How is the flooring, what is it made out off, is it fabric or hard. I have a dog and want to know so that he can stay in the tent too with out damaging the flooring.
