Truck tents

(1/6) > >>

DLH:
Any one use truck tents? I’m considering one but don’t know if there are any advantages over a regular tent on the ground? My son is 5 I thought it might make it easier with him along. I see most people use  air mattresses too for these. I’ve not slept on an air mattress that I like better than the ground yet seem to make me sore the next day. I thought I would ask around before May and I might get to test it out in March if it’s not too cold for my son at night. Thanks

I've never had a truck tent, but I have a topper on my pickup.  Throw in a couple air- or memory foam-mattresses, and it sleeps two pretty comfortably.

Pat B:
Makes it harder to backpack.  ;D

Five year old's can sleep anywhere, on anything, in any position.  Do what you need to keep yourself comfortable and he will be too. Regardless, he will think its neat and have fun.

DLH:
You are right he can sleep anywhere as long as he don’t get cold. I thought about a camper top too. I’ve got another little one who might want to tag along.I  want to feel this out before back packing we went on a hike this week and his little legs were tired pretty quick. I became his pack mule on the last leg out. :)
