Fitted to a pickup bed rather than pitched on the ground, this tent turns the truck into a sleeping platform for 2 to 3 people, clear of mud, runoff and crawling insects. The large size covers beds from 5 ft to 6.4 ft long, which takes in most short and standard boxes. Set up it measures 8.4 ft long by 6.8 ft wide with 3.1 ft of interior height, and the door opening runs 47 in by 49.5 in on a double-sided nylon zipper that works from inside or out. A detachable top cover is the main trick: leave it off in daylight for views and airflow through the mesh, clip it on when rain arrives or privacy matters. Polyester taffeta over glass fiber rods keeps packed weight at 7 lbs, and 2 interior pockets hold phones and flashlights.
