Topper Tent VS DAC Tent

[@rowbradley]

Wanted to thank you for all your topper tent videos. I'm basically copying this build for my Gladiator, super helpful!

[@TregsTravels]

That's awesome! I'm glad the videos have been helpful. That's gonna look sick on the gladiator!

[@b00daddy1]

Getting a short bed tundra on Monday, definitely plan on getting a softopper since we ride dirt bikes a lot but want versatility. Your reviews on the capabilities of it are so thorough and helpful. The topper tent adds a whole other level of usability!

[@TregsTravels]

Congrats on the new tundra! That's awesome! I'm glad the videos have been helpful. If you want to truck camp under your topper then I highly recommend the topper tent!

[@BrandG.]

Thanks for this video, I had not seen the Topper tent before. Now I have to figure out if I want convenience or room!

[@TregsTravels]

You're welcome! In my opinion it just depends on how much you're moving around...if you're gonna camp for a couple days and not move your truck then the DAC tent definitely gives you more room but if you're moving spots every day or driving your truck the topper tent is a ton more convenient

[@mikelabree]

Thanks for the review. I’m waiting for my tent topper. I had concerns about wet weather but you answered my question. I had heard it do well in rain. Thanks again.

[@TregsTravels]

Awesome! Glad the video helped. I think you'll be really happy with the topper tent!

I have the DAK tent, using it for the first time in a couple of weeks. Anyway, I have already set it up and taken it down, pretty simple. Also, set up camping equipment inside to check if the configuration transfered from my thoughts to practical application. It worked well.Thanks for the tip on the pool noodles. While I like the other tent as well, especially for the efficiency of setup and the storage , unfortunately, I need the extra room, owning a Honda Ridgeline... So, something to consider for short beds. Enjoyed the unbiased review. Thank you.

[@TregsTravels]

Awesome! I've used my DAC tent a ton and have loved it! Definitely gives you more space 👌

[@Odin31b]

Just what I needed! Been kicking around the idea for a few years.

[@TregsTravels]

Glad it helped! Highly recommend either one based on what fits you!

[@akay3n]

Topper Tent for me, camping at the boat ramp, pretty stealthy ❤ thanks for the awesome video bro

[@TregsTravels]

I agree 100%. I love the topper tent! Thank you!

[@bfoles506]

Brillant it works with the tailgate step! I just ordered the Flated campershell. The topper looks exactly for what I'm interested in for when camping (not stealth camping). Great reviews!

[@TregsTravels]

Let me know how you like that flated camper shell! They look awesome

[@stevengibson13]

Nice to have an unbiased opinion!

[@TregsTravels]

Totally! It's always better this way

[@hadenough9495]

This is a great video. I'm looking into getting one.

[@TregsTravels]

Thanks! Do you like the DAC or the topper tent better?

[@hadenough9495]

@@TregsTravels probably the DAC

[@Bridges_Podcast]

I’ve been debating on getting one of these… they look awesome

[@TregsTravels]

Truck camping is my favorite way to camp!

[@ejjansen3426]

Awesome video dude! My decision is made now. Thanks!

[@TregsTravels]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@doctorcXanthophyll]

What do you think about the Topper Tent and bugs? Living here in the Midwest that's my biggest concern and the reason I don't have the DAC tent.

[@TregsTravels]

I think it's got a much better seal to it than the DAC tent. The Velcro runs all the way down the sides so any spot you were worried about you could use more Velcro to secure it. I've camped in it a few times now and haven't had problems with bugs at all!

[@318SwampersKaraoke-og2dt]

how long did it take you to receive the topper tent after order ? ive had mine on order over a month try to contact them with no answer back

[@TregsTravels]

It took about a month...they responded pretty quickly when I emailed and asked for an update. Hopefully you hear from them soon!

[@genkeko]

Does anyone know if these are basically the only two options for a truck bed tent/extension with a camper shell/topper. Online I see a million NON topper truck bed tent options and tons of SUV tents but i cannot find any alternatives other than soft topper brand and DAC tent. Any cheaper options that do the same thing?

[@TregsTravels]

I've seen some guys make DIY versions with tarps but these are the only 2 companies that I've heard of that sell these type of tents

[@DIGITALCITY-wn4by]

any idea what the DAC side pole length is when extended for use?

[@TregsTravels]

I'll put it together, measure and let you know!

[@DIGITALCITY-wn4by]

@@TregsTravels thank you , no need after all, I decided to go with the topper tent as the DAC had a month delivery from softopper due to backorder of poles.

[@TregsTravels]

@@DIGITALCITY-wn4bynice! I think that's the better choice 👌

[@oldladyhiking]

Great how-to videos, Treg. I just bought a short bed F150 and have been trying to figure out how to camp in it. I found the DAC on Amazon. I like the idea but I have a Yakima rack to haul my kayak. Obviously the cross bar will prevent me from pulling the cover over the back of the camper shell. Any thoughts on a work-around? The Topper Tent would solve that problem but I like the room of the DAC. The fish are calling and I must go…. Thanks

[@TregsTravels]

Thank you so much! Yeah the DAC definitely gives you more space...do you think you could throw the DAC over the rack? There's quite a bit of material on top...if you're ordering from Amazon maybe you could see how it fits and return it if it's not a good fit!

[@oldladyhiking]

I just ordered some things from your Amazon webpage. Thanks!

[@TregsTravels]

@@oldladyhikingthank you so much for the support!

[@ohhailkingbobby1073]

I sold my rtt and going to be getting that topper tent setup for my soft top Great review! Wish I would've did this the first time and save myself hundreds of dollars, rooftop tent are cool but just not ideal for my setup And overhyped 😆

[@TregsTravels]

I completely agree! Being able to keep your gear put together and under your topper makes the process so much better and faster. I'm all about efficiency!

[@TregsTravels]

What length is your truck bed?

[@ohhailkingbobby1073]

5 foot bet Ill fit with the tailgate down 😆

[@Dboobisyourmaster]

Awesome!! Very useful, 🙏🏼 thanks

[@TregsTravels]

You're welcome!

[@youngkim1478]

Great!

[@TregsTravels]

Thanks! 💯

[@khrome13]

@TregsTravels how does the Topper version attach inside at the top?

[@TregsTravels]

The soft topper version has a piece of Velcro that you remove the window, place their Velcro loop in there and then replace the window. The hard topper version has just a piece of Velcro with adhesive

[@111dcormack]

Dac with Lear topper

[@TregsTravels]

That's awesome! It's really easy to use with that back window
