I used this to sleep in my Silverado at the marina for salmon fishing. I have a cuddy on my boat but it’s full of 30 rods and tackle. The tent on my truck is easier than cleaning it out sleeping and repacking the gear back in
I have the same setup! I use my truck for work, so if I had a rooftop tent, I'd be too worried it would get stolen or at very least attract too much attention. The tent works very well in heavy rain and in snow (Utah winter). I wore my snowboard gear and stayed in my sleeping bag. No Buddy Heater and I was still super warm. Thanks for the videos! Keep it up! Maybe one day you can setup a tacoma meet / offroad trail run / overland weekend. I think other followers would be interested too!
I have 1995 FZJ80 with 309,000 miles on it, and I just drive it from LA to North Carolina. I’ll be returning home sometime in the next two weeks, and I have zero concerns with it making the trip. (I have a two-and-a-half inch OME lift, and it’s on 35’s with no re-treating).
That looks peaceful, stay strapped if you go out there by yourself. That E-tool (shovel) does come in handy. I also have a get home back pack just in case the defecation hits the isolation and i have to leave my baby.
i like the set up, really makes it super multi functional and your not hauling the tent all the time which i believe is a big plus to use your truck for many many adverse things ...Big thumbs up,,,,,,
Love your set up, I'm not a camper type, but in case of emergency, (can't find a hotel type thing) this would be what I need, im planning my adventure " Taco" and your giving me all the substance I need 🥇🌹
I'll be trying out the Techron and am considering the deck system, all based on your recommendations, Chloe. I feel your sincerity in your reviews and trust your choices. :) Keep moving up!
As a Chevron stockholder, thank you for that promotion ;) Seriously, though, another good video from you. Hope the summer gives you more opportunities to do your thing.
Great video and setup! It appears the tent is either not setup properly or more likely the wrong size for your bed. Its pulled to low on the sides. No negativity...just trying to help. :) Keep on keeping on!
This is actually a killer setup imo Chloe. I dont camp to "camp", rooftop to heavy, bulky, not into the look, etc. As a dirt bike guy, this setup would be way simpler than my trailer. Count me in, Im sold. Will certainly get one of these and give it a go. 'Also bonus points for the G-Shock - world full of apple watches, I still get compliments on my G-Shock often. Toyota people ... Im telling you, we are all kindred spirits :)
Nice setup! I appreciate light weight since there are so many 7000lbs Tacoma’s rolling around out there!😂 I was wondering if we were going to get to see how Cody got up in there!👍🏻🐶
I see a number of people who like truck mounted tents, some even larger than Chloe’s, but I always thought them limiting in that if you want to set up camp and then drive off somewhere, you’ve got to take them down and take them with you. I suppose that’s also true of a truck camper. There’s a lot to be said for a standalone tent for flexibility.
I agree and think there are good things to both. I enjoy the space of a standalone tent, but like the truck mounted tents because they are off the ground
What an amazing video, my friend! Nice camping! The nature is amazing.. Enjoyed watching. Cheers from Russia, Chloe , and welcome to my channel about bushcraft! Bestregards, Yuriy!
Nice set up! I got my tent and mattress last week. I also got a light/fan combo to hang from the ceiling of the tent. Circulation of air in the tent is good for me sleeping. That may be good if you or Cody get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. The light on the fan is dimmable also
Hello, This is a great set-up, it's what I use. I did notice that the tent isn't mounted correctly tho. The inner straps aren't hooked up, (6:00 far left orange strap). Hook those to a cargo loop inside the bed, loosen the outer straps then tighten the inner until the tent sets level, (as it is the back is sagging ). When it's setting right tighten the outer straps. You'll gain more interior space and it'll be easier to get in and out of......door zips will work better tool. You may have to loosen the tailgate strap as well. Cheers.............G
I had that same tent for some time. Its great for dry weather camping but does not keep out water during a good rain storm. The Napier ones are better as they have a floor and so they completely seal you in but they wont work with the decked system.
@@ChloeKuo have you thought about getting a cap/canopy? If you can sleep inside a short bed, a canopy provides all weather, dust and waterproof solution. That is what I am running now and absolutely love it!
Love your videos I’m a big fan of u the most things I love is being out door love my hunting fishing and 4x4 u should I’m down to Sydney Australia I I take u out on the test trips ever
Techron sponsor? I've used Techron fuel cleaner for 20 years and hadn't changed my fuel pump once in that time on one older truck I had. I guess it works with regular use.
Have you tried the tent with the decked system? Just ordered the decked and already have the rightline tent. Hoping the decked doesn’t reduce the headspace to much. Thanks.
Is there a reason you don’t have the orange straps hooked up? This will pull the door end of the tent up and allow it to set evenly on the truck. Makes a huge difference. Just asking.
Have you had any trouble with bugs getting into the tent? Where I camp we have a lot of mosquitos and I'm worried they would find their way in between the tent and bed. In one of the shots it looks like you could see daylight where the tent wrapped around the bed in some areas.
Chloe... I have a 2018 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab and I just measured the bed and it is 6 feet. Are the beds on the Tacoma's you have shorter? I checked your Amazon link for the Ridgeline Tent but it looks like it only comes in the 5-foot model. Any suggestions for the 6-foot bed models.
