Truck bed tent camping - the all-in-one vacation package
from: Helping Us With CampingIf you're looking for a simple, convenient and inexpensive way to enjoy the great outdoors, why not consider a truck tent? Truck bed tent camping is a relatively new innovation in outdoor vacationing, and it has all the benefits of camping without some of the traditional hindrances. Prices range from about $100 - $300, making this a very affordable way to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.
A great alternative to relying on groundsheets and securing a traditional tent with pegs and weights, truck bed tent camping means that you simply set up a tent in the back of your truck. When you need to stop and bed down for the night, just park and set up camp in the back of your truck.
Sleeping outdoors always has an element of excitement, but when you camp out in a truck bed tent you'll avoid some of the less welcome forms of excitement, such as unwelcome furry visitors in the middle of the night. This camping method also has the advantage of being more secure than a separate tent. If you're sleeping in your truck, no one's likely to try and take your belongings or your truck!
It might sounds obvious, but setting up camp in the back of your truck means that you don't have to deal with problems such as rain-sodden or cold ground. You're shielded from the elements while still enjoying the environment around you. Storage also couldn't be simpler - fold up your truck bed tent and store it behind your seat as you drive away to another adventure.
Another appealing aspect of truck bed tent camping is the ease with which you can erect your living space for the night. Truck bed tents only take 10-20 minutes to set up, leaving you more time to enjoy your vacation. Depending on the type of truck bed tent you buy, you may need to be inside the tent to set it up on the truck. Remember that it's always worth a quick practice session before you set off on your first truck bed tent vacation!
Truck bed tents are offered with or without floors. There are benefits to both styles. Those without floors mean that you don't have to empty your truck bed before setting up home for the night. However, those with floors give you an additional sense of snugness and an extra layer of insulation. Throw in a couple of air mattresses and you're all set for a good night's sleep outdoors and off-ground. The sides of the truck mean that you have extra protection from the wind - it's also a good idea to park facing into the wind for this reason.
Manufacturers now provide tents for almost any make of truck but don't forget to check that the truck bed tent you want to buy fits your truck!
