I have a Napier SUV tent. I love it. Made very well. Napier is definitely positioning itself as an industry leader
reserve the campground feature, never thought of that!! great idea. thanks for sharing
Thank you for a great review. Precise, detailed and easy to understand. Appreciate your time and effort in making this video!!! Cheers from Michigan!
Thanks for watching and the great feedback.
After watching your vid and recommendation I purchased this tent - Damn it is fantastic! Put it up in 10 minutes by myself following your instructions, a breeze. The hardest part of setup and tear down was getting all the air out of it when rolling it up :-) Thanks for the video - great job!
Thanks Captain J. Even though making the videos makes me feel like a clown it always makes me feel good to hear when someone was able to make a decision on a purchase and use something in the video to help them with the purchase. Enjoy the tent. I sure do mine.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 hey I don’t Have Many Views or an “actual Functioning Channel” because of that “Clown” Feeling. for you to be able to ignore it, and post anyway, is something a ton of people can not get over. I’m glad you did!
Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to post. I'm debating between this brand and another without the flooring so I don't need to remove items from bed of truck. You make a great point about dropping tent to reserve camp spot, doubt I would have even thought of that!
Thanks for the informative demo buddy!
I love having the options for different types of travel!
Can't beat a cool fall night in the mountains, beside a noisy river in a tent. Thanks for joining our channel. We will be bringing a lot more adventures for our subscribers.
Thanks for the detailed instructions!!!
Thanks. Still afraid of other side of camera but I keep going.
I think you sold me with the detail and the step by step visual....I had been looking at these, but now I feel confident....thanks for this great video
Thanks so much. We love ours and so easy to set up. Drop back in after you get yours and let me know what you think.
Looks good and very affordable!! Nice setup!
Excellent video! Thank you.
That’s a pretty slick setup. We also have been thinking about a truck tent to allow to do a little overland camping . Thanks for the awesome review ! We will continue to check you guys out !
Thanks guys..
Wow, very well done gear review. I was about to order this tent and you just gave me 100 percent confidence that its the right one for me. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment and I think you will love your new tent.
I love my Napier tent. Thank you for the tip for the rainfly as I have struggled putting it on by myself, will definitely try your suggestion next trip.
Will be using mine May 1st on my Colorado. Super easy one person set up. Hope to get out many times this year.
I am jealous. I want to Overland Colorado very soon. Enjoy and make a video for us.
My dad and I bought one for his truck and we are going to fish and camp this year. We put it up in minutes and camped in it with his battery and heater and did ice fishing and it was shockingly warm with our winter gear and even if the tent was for spring and summer and fall we had to try it since we got it for christmas and did great.
I found it was quick to heat up with a Little Buddy and onesie asleep without heater we were always fine. In the morning just kick on the heat.
Great review. can't wait to use mine
Just got mine today. Tks for the great video!
Drop back in and let me know what you think about it. Enjoy.
Best video on this tent. good job! 👍🏻
Thanks Rick.
Thanks for a great review. I’ve been looking at getting one of these and now I’m sold! 👍👍
Thanks for tuning in.
Reminds me of the covered wagons the pioneers used. So cool!
You are right. Chuck Wagon. Lol.
Great tips
i just purchased this tent, thank you for this informative video! you made it look so easy 👍🏼
Even though I feel crazy doing these videos I am glad it helps people like yourself decide on a purchase. Let me know how you like it.
Like how you take tent out for placing on ground. If needed, seems you could use as ground tent , but like you said ,Reserve your spot while away.
Well done video Sir, thank you.
Thanks for the nice comment Michael. I hope it helped you decide on choosing this tent or not. Have a great weekend.
Loved your review! I just bought this tent and your review really helps setting it up for the first time. Some things which have changed on the newer version of this tent:
1. The front pole is now gray and the center beam pole is green. Of course they stayed with the color coded anchor pockets all around.
2. The best change, in my opinion, is the tent now comes with privacy doors on both side windows. Very nice for when you won’t be using the rain fly.
My initial impression of this tent, it’s heavier and the materials used are a bit thicker than my ground tent. This to me is preferable.. your going by truck, weight is not my primary concern when it means I potentially could have a stronger tent. Cant wait to get it out to use it.
Thanks for the update on the newer tent. I like the privacy covers without the rain fly that is a great update they did. I was not aware until you told me. We use a foldable mattress and it works great. Thanks for the comment and enjoy the tent.
I have been pushing the truck bed tent thing around for quite awhile and after seeing you slide yours out to use your truck, I was sold. i like a camper but it takes up space in the yard and I pull a boat most times when I camping. I will be buying one very soon. Thank you for this review.
Thank you for this video.😊
Thanks for viewing. I do hope it added value.
That is a cool tent... Thanks for sharing!
I love the tent. So many options with a 4x4 and a great tent.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 Great channel. We just subed!
@@AFKDays Thanks for joining and supporting our small channel. We always return the support.
That was a nice video brother 👍 thanks a lot
Thanks for watching. Great tents as well.
We love ours, we got it this pass summer.
I haven’t got to go camping in a while. Definitely ready to use ours again
Love it
Looks good! I’ve been thinking about getting myself one of these. Right now I have a Bed Rug bed liner (which I love) and if it looks like bad weather or if I’m just lookin for some cover I put an EZ up pop up tent over it lol.
We love the tent. Stores easy in the truck and there if your out exploring and decide to stay.
I have a Napier Sports Dome, love it!
We love ours as well. It allows us to change up the RV campground life with some real wilderness camping. Thanks for the comment and support.
When you go out and if the truck is the only vehicle what do you do with the tent, when you go out for the day? Thx
@@Soulreclaimer65 Just unstrap the 3 straps on each side of truck and lift out of truck and move to the ground. It saves your spot as well.
Great video!
Thanks. Still new and don’t get to film enough.
Nice decal
The two advantages I see over a ground tent with this setup is: wet ground, and snake/crawling crittters. Two advantages of this setup over a RTT is price and weight. With that though, I am dialed with a hard top RTT that is set up in less than a minute, and closed back up in less than five. All while leaving all bedding/pillows inside. Also wind and rain proof and a solid 3 season tent, with a 4th season (winter) being a tougher one that requires a few more items to keep ya warm. Yes it is heavier at 140lbs, and over $3500, but I'd be two beers down and halfway through a fresh grilled burger by the time I got this Napier tent setup.
I would have the Napier in a heartbeat in my younger, more broke years if only it was invented back then. Good show, bud.
Thanks for the comment. We have an RV as well but use this in cooler months just to get to nature and out of crowded camp grounds. Nice chance of scenery.
Fantastic video
Thanks so much. I hope you got value from the video.
Absolutely phenomenal video!!!
Wow. Thanks.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 No problem. I literally just became your 1000th sub!!!
You don’t know how long I have been trying to get to that goal. Thanks so much for letting me know. Find us on Facebook I would like to have a way to contact you. Thanks again.
I promise we will be posting more videos soon. I had a huge change in life so that took me away for a while.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 No problem at all man. Believe me, I know all about huge life changes and the impact that they can have. So you get absolutely no pressure from me about your vid posting schedule. Im just glad to see you hit that big 1K!!!
Also, Im not on social media. But, feel free to reach back out via this comment thread. Ill definitely see the reply!!!
Thanks for this review. I'd seen a lot of tents on Amazon, and many have drawbacks like not enough venting leading to uncomfortable breathing or condensation. I'd kind of settled on this one but your review cinches it, especially how easy it is to take out intact if you want to go somewhere, my normal camping spot I drive around most days and it's good that I can just lift the tent out then put it back when I return.
Just to have a campsite when you return is worth it. I’m glad the review helped.
On the strength of this video, I purchased the one-up Napier with the screen covers, extra screened, covered port directly behind the rear window of the truck and rear canopy... A very nice piece of gear for the $... I also have a 13 x 21 Aluminet shade cover to go over the entire rear of the truck.. I thought of parking it all under a canopy, but haven't as yet..
They are definitely a great price for what you get.
very nice video ,, great explaination.
Thanks so much for watching
Good tent and review man. Thumbs up from a small creator 😅
Pretty cool deal
We really like it. We get to glamp with our Class C but we can camp in the wild with the tent. Thanks so much for joining,
Thanks. Great video. We have yet to put our’s together. Will do it in the next week or so
Drop back in and let me know what you think.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 we spent one night in this weekend. Hung a tent fan inside as well as outside Easy to put up and take down. Thanks for the tips. Will definitely use in future
@@missykay8346 so glad you guys love the tent. I really think they are great values.
not a big fan of the FSU sticker on the truck but a big fan of everything else! Thanks for reviewing and sharing!
Lol. The last 3 years I haven’t been a big fan either. That’s funny.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 I feel that. we are Clemson fans and those beat downs by FSU have not been forgotten! We were there to see a few in person.
@@southerncharlesfamily6089 I love Dabbo and am a Clemson fan as well. Let’s hope he don’t leave when Saben hangs it up
@@waterandlandadventures4319 I do not think he will but obviously we pray he doesn't haha
Been looking for a truck bed tent.
Very affordable and checks all the boxes for as much as we use it. It's a great way to explore the wild and find that secluded lake or river bed. Thanks for watching and support.
Nice review! Do you still have this and still like it? I have been looking at all the reviews of the different ones. I like this one. New follower here. Crow✌️
Thanks for joining, I do still have it and we love it. If you get one drop back in and let me know what you think. Have a great day.
This is so awesome!
I am going to look at a truck hard shell camper top this coming up weekend if the guy still has it when I get off my business trip to Vegas.
great review thanks
Thanks John.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 mine showed up today
@@johngault3315 awesome. Drop back in and let me know your thoughts when you get to use yours.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 hello, we used it last Thursday through Sunday at the IMSA Races In Connecticut. It was great. We had biblical rains one night and got 4 inches of rain Saturday night and it held up great.
@@johngault3315 how did it do in the rain? Ours held up great. Condensation of course but dry from rain.
Looks like setting it up on the ground first would be easier. I still like it. Carl
With how tall my truck is you have a great point.
Hey brother you mentioned putting a link for the mattress you got on AMAZON, ummmm no link, thanks !!!
Really good video man. I was also wondering how to put the rain guard over since my truck is lifted as well
Thanks for watching. I’m not best at reviews but I like to give best information as possible.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 instructions were very informative and easy to follow now im confident in setting it up myself when i buy it. Thanks again 👍
@@slowvq9371 DROP BACK BY WHEN YOU GET YOURS AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. GREAT TENTS FOR THE MONEY. ENJOY AND SAFE CAMPING.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 just came back from offroading and camping. Man this tent was really nice and cozy even in high winds it held up great
@@slowvq9371 nice and thanks for the update. We have been in serious North Georgia rain in ours too and stayed dry. Glad you like yours. Safe camping and have fun.
Nice video - Straight Forward and didn't make it seem like you have to be Macgyver to set it up.
Thanks Byron.
You ever have any problems either rain getting into the tailgate??
Do you on the interstate jeeze
Would it be easier to set it up on the ground and then pick it up and place it into the truck bed?
That is totally an option and have seen people do that
I noticed that the tent keeps sliding back which creates a gap between the tent and the front of truck box, does rain get into the box from there and if so, does it just run under the tent? Thanks very much for the video, good job :)
I have not noticed anything in the tent after a huge rain. The thick floor is high so if rain did get under the tent I don’t think it would get in tent before it drained from truck bed.
@@waterandlandadventures4319 Ok thank you, I just ordered one for my Dodge :)
@@darrentoth7165 let me know what you think. It’s a great tent.
Will this work if I have a bakflip cover
I think so. It will alter it a bit but I do think you could get it to work.
No link to the foam mattress . Can you provide the link?
I will try and locate the link and post on comments
The truck tent you have sure is lot easier to erect than the Napier on the Avalanche
This one is definitely easy, with 2 people it’s up in no time
Will the tent fit on the truck even though I have a folding bed cover?
This is the same question I have.
As long there is enough room to get the tent past the folding cover up front to allow the floor to fill in the bottom of your truck bed. It may be a little bunched up in front but I’m sure it would work
Hi new friend. Found you on the community support Facebook page. Very cool how you can set up right in the bed of the truck. And getting it off looks so easy. Thanks for sharing. We've got some videos you might enjoy. Hope you can check us out.
Thanks so much for checking out our channel. I will drop in on your channel as well.
Can you close the tailgate??
Oh yeah it folds up compact.
How long is your bed
I have the 6.7 ft Ford F250. However the tent is available in different sizes
Could you set the tent up on the ground and then lift it into the back of the truck bed?
Absolutely. With my truck being lifted it would probably be easier.
Awesome. Thank you for the response. One last question if I may. Could you use it on the ground as a traditional tent if necessary.
You actually could. You will just have a lot of flooring gathered up from where it is designed to fit the tub of the bed.
What size bed ??
Mine is the 61/2 fr
Have you seen anyone use this tent with a roll up tonneau cover? I've seen on the company website that you can install WITH a toolbox or a rollup tonneau cover IF the height of the rolled up cover isn't above 6 inches. My tonneau roll is probably 8 inches high when rolled up and clipped. Is the risk with trying to install with something taller than 6 inches that there will be a big gap that rainwater can get into the bed of the truck or are there other concerns? I was thinking if it can be installed with a toolbox that a rolled up tonneau cover wouldn't be that much worse. Thanks for the vid. This is the best assembly vid that I've seen.
I have not seen someone use with a roll up but I can agree you could definitely use it with a roll up or a flip.
Also the tent has a full floor like any other tent. Even if water gets in between the truck bed and tent you will stay dry.
Geez, do you live on the Interstate?
Lol. No but where I was the road was behind trees and busy.
Only an American would say the second thing he brings with him after a phone is a hand gun and a rifle when camping in a tent
Definitely a gun in a tent well hell I have a gun everywhere.
Granted, i can be quite impatient when on the phone with 911 ( IF there is a cell connection ! ) as i request someone to bring a gun to my location, and ASAP ! Here in the West, IF a cell phone works, a LEO's response time can be as little as 45 minutes to as much as 3 hrs, normally.
I know not what course others may take as to accepting responsibility for their safety, but for me, i accept responsibility for my safety, and my safety alone ...
@@fjb4932 exactly. No time to wait in emergency. You will be a fool to approach anyone in a tent in the woods. I bet you anything in Georgia whoever in that tent is packing and will use. Cops will be called just go get body.
who buys a 350 without a 8foot bed
It’s a 250.
These tents aren't any good. I set mine up and when going home on the Interstate it blew off.
Bruh🤦 you're not supposed to drive with it set up. Learned your lessen eh?
@@theshell2387 Yeap, the next time I'll leave the flaps open to let the air blow thru.
@@theshell2387he’s being funny. 😆
