"The overall fit was good. It does take 2 people to set this up, keep that in mind before you break out the beer. The rain-fly needs to be a little longer because it does not fully cover the sides, (about 4" are exposed along both sides). I was able to feel the morning dew along this section on the inside. Don't know how this would hold up in the rain. Overall, worth the money."

"Overall a great product. I put it up the first time in the dark and didn't have much problem. Probably can do it a lot quicker next time. It rained for four hours straight the next morning but only got a couple drops of water inside (around the door.) Because of the height once installed on my truck, getting the rain flap laid out over the top was a bit of a challenge and I never did get it positioned or rotated right so I could get it tied down properly to the truck. It still did it's job of keeping me dry but was obvious that it wasn't installed properly. I also highly recommend getting the custom sized air mattress that fits your truck. I did and found it very very comfortable. The only drawbacks I can think of with this set up are that when you're traveling, all your gear is exposed to the elements and when you get to camp, you really can't drive your truck because of the tent. Small issues though. I'd buy this item again."

"This truck tent is nice, though I think a little pricey. Plus, you have to seal the seams and such which, for the money, should have already been done, or the tent sealer included. Overall a fair deal."

"PRO: Fits nicely into bed of truck. Fairly easy to assemble. After the second time, I could get it up in 10 minutes. Was able to put it up in a high wind condition. Fits in the bag after you take it down (so they considered the extra folds when you take it down). I can actually sit up on my knees and not touch the ceiling. CON: The fake fur that goes over the straps was a little difficult to get on. Plan on doing this at home and not at the campsite. I used a stiff wire and fished it through. Wish there was a window on the truck rear window side. The wire hole is just big enough to fit your fist through. It will not link through the rear window. I can see how the poles could break. The rear pole over the door has a great deal of stress. The door hinge is on the bottom which means you have to unzip the door completely to get out. My other tent I only had to zip half way. You can not see out the windows when the rain fly is on. Kinda pricey at $200.00, but it was worth it."

"I am very pleased with my puchase. The tent was relatively easy to put up and take down. It didn't fit quite as neatly (I have a Dodge Ram 1500 short bed)as in the photos but well enough that it didn't look dumb.I had originally seen the tent in Cabellas but Autoanything beat their price and was more specific about what model trucks the tents would fit. My fiance and I are avid cyclists and the tent allows us to make camp anywhere there is flat ground at a ride."

"The tent worked just like it said it would. I was a little leery of the strength of the poles after reading others’ reviews, but just being careful prevented any breaks. The tent came with some furry fabric sleeves that were not accounted for in the instructions. A call to Napier told me they were for the truck body straps to protect the paint. At the start of my first set-up, the tent moved around a lot as I inserted the poles because the truck body straps aren’t secured until a few steps into the set-up. After the first set-up, the truck body straps were now the correct length. On my second set-up, I hooked on these straps first, and set-up was even easier. I would recommend a trial set-up before you head out."

"I love the truck tent. When I used it the first time it was very quick and simple to set up. The height inside of the tent is great. You can move about freely and stand in the middle. When the wind blew, the tent did not budge and made me feel safe. I only wish that I had spent the extra money and got the air mattress to fit inside, it will be well worth it."

"The tent is great. I was amazed at how clean it stayed inside. My partner has bad knees and it was so much easier to crawl in and out of the tent and sleeping bag. The only downside is that one of the poles broke when we were putting it up for the first time. That was discouraging but we made it work."

After a few tries these problems were easily fixed. Still need to find an air mattress that fits an 8' truck bed."

"The truck tent is perfect for the camping that my wife and I do. We have a 21' boat that we usaly take for weekend trips and we had a tent trailer that we used to have to pull either with the boat or take a second vehical. The truck tent has made camping and boating together much easier and enjoyable. The truck tent is very easy to set up it takes less than five minutes. It is perfect for two people and keeps you high and dry."
