Enjoying the great outdoors doesn’t have to mean lugging a 60-pound pack deep into the wilderness on a snipe hunt. In fact, most of us would rather stay home with the in-laws than subsist on wild berries, rub sticks for warmth and contend with those creepy crawlies that lurk in night. And then there’s the bathroom facilities, but don’t get me started. The point is, there’s an easier, much more civilized way to camp—we call it truck tent camping.
Truck tents are the latest innovation in camping comfort, taking the sting out of sleeping on cold, wet, uneven ground that’s occupied by who-knows-what kind of critters and creatures. By pitching right in the bed of your pick up, truck tents set you up with a comfortable camp faster than you can roast a marshmallow. Rather than endlessly hunting for that perfect flat, dry, clear spot, just park your truck, pop your truck tent and camp in cozy comfort. And better yet, since you’re sleeping in your truck, campground criminals are much less likely to pilfer your stuff.
If you enjoy camping and you don’t have a truck, never fear, there’s a tent for you too. SUV tents and hatchback tents are crafted to pitch like a normal tent, only they have a special sleeve that wraps around your vehicle’s cargo area. By merging the back of your vehicle with your tent, you gain tons of extra storage capacity and elbow room, and it makes way for a couple of extra campers, too.
To make your forays into Mother Nature’s splendor ever more comfortable, bring along some extra comfort accessories. A Truck Bedz air mattress ensures that you’re sawing logs in total comfort rather than enduring the nightmare of a sleepless night. And, a couple of handy-dandy folding tables and chairs make sure you always have a place to sit. Pack these accessories along with your new truck, SUV or hatchback tent and all your outdoor meal times, game times and unwind times are guaranteed to be good times.
