A Truck tent is a tent designed to be set up in the bed of a pickup truck. It was invented in 1990 by Roman Napieraj, founder of Napier Enterprises. Truck tents provide an experience of camping outdoors, but with the added protection and comfort of sleeping off the ground. Truck tents are similar in look and function to roof tent and sport utility vehicle (SUV) tents. Limitations of using a truck tent are that the campsite is bound by where the truck can go, and that one must own a truck to use it. Rdx shivendra Camping with truck tents is a growing movement among less extreme campers who still enjoy the outdoors. Family campers may value truck or SUV tents because they provide better protection from moisture, supply an instant and portable campsite, and allow for increased packing space. Truck tents are conventional 2-3 person tents that are rigged to hook up to a truck bed. Most truck tents are designed with a particular type of truck in mind, or a truck with certain features—those with dropgates, liftgates, camper tops, short beds, or long beds, etc. The tents either hook in or strap in to several locations around the truck. The initial set-up may take some time, but becomes easier with practice. Once the tent is fitted to a specific truck, set-up is as simple as with a traditional tent. Many proponents choose to put a mattress in the bed of the truck for a more comfortable experience. These mattresses are available in various sizes to fit all trucks. A zip-up window provides access to the cab for trucks that have a rear window. Another type of truck tent is the umbrella-shaped car tents that can be used either as car cover, or as a tent, when removed from the vehicle. Such car tents tend to feature remote controls and can be set up automatically. Such car tents can also work as an awning located right above the truck bed. They feature metal framework which makes them wind-resistant.
