  • I will never understand truck tents. Tents are awesome, lower cost, standalone structure. There’s a lot to love about tents. The downsides are, no amenities like A/C or plumbing, and you are on the ground (relevant if there are lions or whatever to worry about I guess).

    If you have a truck tent, you give up lower cost and standalone structure. I guess you might get A/C as a benefit but you’ll be breathing exhaust from your truck (assuming it’s a non-bazinga truck). Since it’s not standalone, if you need to run into town for hot dogs or drive to a trail head, you have to pack up your tent. Also even with a large sized truck bed it’s a pretty small footprint as far as tents go.
