Denny's Review of Napier Backroadz Truck Tent

We used this truck tent on a 16-day road trip to Utah, sleeping in the tent for most of those nights. The tent paid for itself in savings, compared to hotel costs. Ventilation is good with its large side windows and large door screen. (A 10" fan helped on the hot early nights in Moab.) We left the bedding in place, collapsed the tent over it, rolled the tonneau cover over all, and were on our way. It takes about 10 minutes to put up or collapse the tent. The hardest part is threading the tailgate buckles through the slot between gate and truck bed. On the negative side--the thin, plastic tarp floor got a small hole after a few nights. And by the 4th night the shock cords on the 2 main poles had broken, leaving the 7 wands that form the main arches disconnected. We could still use them, but had to carefully thread them through their sleeves so they didn't come apart on us. Take down was also a little trickier, since the individual wands could pull apart in the sleeves. There's an engineering principle: If your project fails, check the part that you didn't think was important. In an otherwise well-designed tent, the floor and poles seemed to have gotten the least attention. By the way, we didn't go with the floor-less tents because those leave large gaps at the tailgate where insects, rain, rattle snakes, and small mountain lions can enter.
