Truck tents are quickly becoming a popular accessory for truck and car owners who love to camp, and who would rather take advantage of the space and comfort afforded to them by their existing vehicle, rather than hassle with the often cumbersome and uncomfortable task of setting up and sleeping in a traditional tent. Truck tents are available in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on your vehicle type, size, and your personal camping preferences. For roughly the price of a hotel room, you can purchase a truck tent that can be used almost anywhere, anytime and can usually be set up in less than 20 minutes! Truck Tent OptionsThe traditional truck tent, designed for pickups, provides additional warmth and protection from moisture than the traditional tent because it slides over the edge of the truck bed and allows campers to sleep off the ground. The SUV/van tent wraps around the entire cargo area of the SUV/van allowing extra space for even more sleepers and easy access to rear of the SUV or van. Models are also available for vehicles in just about any car class; they attach not to a traditional cargo area, but to after-market roof racks (rather than the actual roof of your vehicle). Once attached, they can be opened in minutes by cranking a simple handle. Truck tents also come in simpler models that attach to sport vehicles with a rear lift-gate that already has an enclosed roof. The tents provide a weather-protected rear vestibule area to allow campers to take advantage of the excess space an open rear lift-gate provides. Truck Tent CostPrices on all tents range from roughly $150 to $600 or more; depending on size, as well as features like hinged awnings and detachable tent portions that can be left at the campsite while campers venture out in their vehicles. Because of increasing popularity, prices also vary by vendor, so it pays to shop around. Before you buy, there are several key features to consider.
- Poles: Older models require poles both inside and outside the tent. Better designs have fewer poles and pole sleeves are color coordinated to make set-up easier. - Ventilation: Look for top ventilation to let out moisture and provide better lighting during the day. - Floors: Some truck tents have sewn-in floors. Others have no floors or an optional/zip-out tent floor. Chose the type that’s best for you. - Truck size: Know the length of your bed, and measure the bed with the tailgate up; many of the same truck models have different size bed. |
