Simple, quick pop up tent in bed

[jeniferkey]

I like sleeping outside, but with all the rain the bugs have been a problem. I was looking at netting for the truck bed, but remembered I had a 4 person pop up tent. We have a cabin now, so usually I’m sleeping outside or in the cabin. I don’t like the tent on the ground because of the wild pigs, and lately a bison has been on the cameras.

This tent is a quick toss up and squeezes nicely in the bed. I think it’s available from Walmart or Amazon. It’s nice to be outside and hear all the nighttime sounds.

I went with cushions after two inflatable mattresses eventually got holes.

This looks like MARNUR Instant Tent 4-Person Camp Tent at Walmart for about $70. There is also a green colored version.

I love solutions like this. Looks like shit but practical and extremely comfortable. I am suspicious of solutions that try too hard to fit the futuristic look of the CT. It’s camping!

“Looks like shit, but practical”
This is really all I’m looking for. A nice inflatable mattress and this and I’m solid.

Great when you're not carrying anything, but that's not a practical reality - spare tire, water, generator, fridge... Build a platform attaching to the L-track, and setup the tent on top of that.

Ordered one to try, cheap, fast and can be used at the beach/park for a quick reprieve from the sun.

I can inflate this and close the tailgate. This is one of the best air mattresses I've ever gotten. It is not your normal rubber/pvc material but fiber/rubberized cloth (TPU). Generally have to find it on ebay these days (just past underlined text in ebay).
Sierra Designs Air Bed with Pump - 2-Person 90432020-COS
The pump it comes with is crap but I always use this one. It can almost inflate and deflate it 3 times before recharging (USB-C) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZY3FD4J

A little pricey but hands down my favorite. I use it to make the vault friendlier for light shows/hayrides type things. It’s an incredible mattress and as a bonus fits nicely in my cybertent. If you set up your tent on top of it you’d be hard to wake up. There are a few versions I have seen (though I think all genuinely inflatable which I personally hate) that have a piece for the tailgate too

You know this is an awesome community when you read "I don't like the tent on the ground because of the wild pigs....and Bison!!!

Simply Awesome!

Nice - here's our inexpensive setup
