GEN 2 Bed Tents

[TrackRat]

Anyone have any experience using a bed tent with the Raptor’s short bed? Most look designed for 6.5’ beds. Was looking at the Rightline.

I've got one - a Napier. It runs the full length of the bed and tailgate so you can stretch out. It seems to be well designed and well made.
Be advised that a sheet of plywood to cover the corrugations in the bed is fairly essential to comfort.

Would something like this work with your tent setup?

Yes, I race mountain bikes and use a bed tent from Kodiak canvas. It is nice soft canvas and is well ventilated. I put down a indoor outdoor rug to seal the gap at the tailgate. I also use truck bedz air mattress.

I wouldn't consider that thing. Overall, it fails the simplicity test. Specifically, its 12 inch depth will cost you a foot of headroom inside the tent, it's going to be bulky and heavy when uninflated, and the price is preposterously excessive. Buy a sheet of plywood and a pair of foam or air mountaineering mattresses if you don't already have them.

My truck bedz has worked well and is very comfortable. Plenty of head room in the kodiak tent.
