Yup!  When you're slow like me you learn to sleep standing up because all the tent spot are taken up. 

If something I’ve posted on the Internet offends you please ignore it.

If you don’t know how to ignore something on the Internet e-mail me … and I’ll demonstrate.

It's a rain proof Cem-Can cover with a full length zippper. It can be set up in five minutes. A couple of trail side places we have camped at didn't even have a bush to hide behind. The cem-can can be emptied at regular campsite and picnic grounds.

I wanted the tent but then i got thinking.....where do you put all your camping gear when you have the tent set up? I mean, you probably put a cooler and other camping stuff and luguage in the truck bed to get to the site, but what do you do with everything once you set the tent up? Might not have enough room in the king cab. Also, the required beer run... what happens when your buddies drink all your beer and you need to do a beer run but the tent is already set up! Or if you're camping for more than one day you have to take it apart daily to be able to use the truck to get around! I think i'll opt for a regular tent i can set and forget?

Have any of you who own the tent run into these problems? what do you think?

good question and i've delt with it already, first... your usualy only camping for a week end right... so there realy isnt alot of food. Next the tent fits two... romanticaly...  um... the passenger side folds down all the way, so there actualy is alot of room inside the king cab. I put my cooler under tha tail gate. also the tent doesnt realy ... um need the truck. you can set it up in the tent... and i think you can see some of the straps .. there is a strap in the front middle and end on each side , that is elastic and goes to a hook that hooks under the truck. At the tail gate there are three straps aswell. to remove the tent, just un hook them, it will not fall apart, pull it out when your done have a buddy lift it back in with you. I've done this a few times with 4 layers of opened up sleeping bags as padding still in it. only potential issue down the road is the pole that goes over the opening of the tent its realy long and has to bend one hell of a bend, and im always scared its gonna snap into my face... but 1 year and i've camped it about 15 18 times now... so im not so worried.

It has inderpendant suspension so it will have no trouble following the 4x4 off road!
