That Camp King you got is very nice. I had an Alu-Cab tent on my Jeep which was nice, but the Camp King is nicer.

for my raptor, I’m waiting for my Go Fast Camper to be built. Ordered it last year, 3 months before I ordered the raptor. The wait is tough.

Wow it’s taking that long? You’re getting the camper/tent combo right?

I looked into their RTT’s. They look good and like the slim design but I want to be able to store my pillows and blankets inside the tent at all times.

I've looked into some lately, but I just don't know where/how I'll store it when I am not using it. Everyone I know just ends up keeping it on their trucks all the time. Not something I'd want to do personally.

Yeah, that was my initial thoughts as well but just decided to go for it. The cheaper soft sided RTT’s Are lighter and easier to store with a ceiling hoist system.

My garage ceiling has overhead storage racks already. I guess I could remove one of them, but they're all being used right now, so ultimately I'd still have to create extra room somewhere.

Yeah, it all comes down to how often you’ll utilize it and if it’s worth it to you. If it’s something you won’t use often then I’d stick to a ground tent or trailer.

Thinking maybe I can come up with something to set up on top of a bed cover, since they're usually rated to be able to support ~400lbs or so on there.

Yeah I looked at some like that since I used to have a BakFlip but ended up selling the BakFlip.

We've got a Yakima set up w/Annex on our '13 Terrain. It's mounted to the Yakima HD bed rack. We love it!
