Great Tent for F350 truck, October 31, 2009
By KyOutdoorsMan from Central Kentucky

Advantages: Ease of use, Quality, Value for money, Well made/Durable

"Have a F350 full size pickup and bought the 55011 model. This was easy to set up and fix the truck bed. It had plenty of room and lots of places for storage. It rained for 3 days and was very high winds at times -- tent never leaked or sweat the whole time. The truck bed was dry. I am 6'4" and had lots of room inside tent. Best tent I have ever purchased."

Great tent!, November 7, 2008
By newtocampin from Denton, TX

"I have been looking at this tent for over a year, not sure if it would be a good fit for me and my husband. A recent camping trip required that I make a decision on a tent (sans husband), and I decided to take the plunge on this one over a traditional tent.

It was fantastic! easy to set up with good instructions (READ the instructions, by the way), and use another person to help the first time out. It went up within 30 minutes the first time w/two people.

There was ample space for my single person air mattress, and a little room for essentials (plastic crate for night stand). there are handy interior pockets for things, small and large.

It is important to have realistic expectations, however. I am 5'4" and there was only just enough headroom for me to maneuver comfortably. There isn't adequate space to change clothing easily, get dressed, etc. If you ever have to get up in the middle of the night for a trip to the bathroom, the lack of steps off the tailgate is a pain (not the fault of the tent).

If you're looking for a quick and easy solution to your camping needs, this is it, especially for only one person. However, if you're looking for a comfortable camping experience that will allow room for clothing changes, etc, go with a traditional tent. Note that this is not a negative with this tent, only a thing to consider when buying a tent.

I couldn't be happier with the quality - it was very dewy on the night i camped, and i didn't experience any flow-through of the dampness, even when I was touching the side of the tent - the over-flap works very well in preventing any type of water coming through.

It was also really nice to have the bed of the truck completely covered - helped to keep bugs and other critters to a minimum, as well as the nice mesh door that comes with the tent.
