Truck tent/camper?

[TheDan]

So I've been looking for some sort of truck bed camper... What I've seen are the traditional big truck bed campers, a handful of semi-popup campers, some tents and also your typical shell. What I'd really like to find is something that functions pretty much as a typical hard tonneau but will pop up/expand into a tent. Has anyone seen something like that?

Never understood the point or extra comfort.. I've got a Coleman instant up tent and a cot that I top with a thermarest dream time. More comfortable than my bed just as easy setup and tare down and much more room than a full sized truck bed.

Looks neat but the page says, "We think all these tents were home made!!!"
I'm guessing I'll have to go that route myself. Kinda wonder where to get the tent material, tho. I suppose I could cut up on of the ones I already have, lol...

I already have a few tents... Want to try something new. Being off the ground sounds nice, too.

Yeah! That's the idea... I called a Livin' Lite dealer in Round Rock and am waiting for a sales rep to call me back, but I have a feeling these are way out of price range. The one's I've seen for sale are around $5,000 Way too much.

Hi Guys,
I am currently working on a truck tent camper project and want to gauge the interest in it. I have a prototype, but before moving any farther does anyone care? If you could venture over to Hard Cover Truck Tent there is a video and sign-up for more info. I'd really appreciate your input.
Thanks,

I'd really appreciate your input.

Little basic but looks great if you already have a hard cover. My input is to become a forum sponsor.
