I have a Napier SUV tent. I love it. Made very well. Napier is definitely positioning itself as an industry leader

[@Iamkorean23]

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.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

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.

[@captainj7844]

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!

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

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.

[@MyVantasticLifeVoyage]

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.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

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.

[@blindsowfishing]

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.

[@marcialjueco5801]

Great tips

[@garyb4929]

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.

[@insaynbcr]

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.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

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.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

Just to have a campsite when you return is worth it. I’m glad the review helped.

Will the tent fit on the truck even though I have a folding bed cover?

[@selenafain8388]

This is the same question I have.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

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

[@converyds]

Could you set the tent up on the ground and then lift it into the back of the truck bed?

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

Absolutely. With my truck being lifted it would probably be easier.

[@converyds]

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.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

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.

[@masonfoley1276]

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.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

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.
