Cool camping gear?

The only problem with those is they are known to fold up randomly in the middle of the night...

Careful little buddy... Santa has the naughty list... and the power to cancel your home owners insurance and plenty more reindeer to crash into your truck... AGAIN!

Eh, everybody wants to cancel it anyway and bald eagles gotta eat too (I've been watching them eating on the one I hit as I drive by)

This was my answer for overlanding. Minutes up or down... no air mattress or a separate cot. I'm still sad I had to cancel my trip last year and didn't even get to use it. Looking forward to this year's trip... but honestly... if my load out leaves space to sleep in the bed of the truck... I might not use it this year either.

Minutes to setup and take down is definitely the goal as well as maximizing efficiency as much as I can on a truck that only has a 5' bed. Easier to do with one person than two.

The 2011 worked pretty well at Truck Nationals going with the truck bed camping approach but would be absolutely horrible for two people as currently configured.
