A truck tent Testament turn the Bedstead of your pickup Motor lorry into a campsite on wheels, eliminating the demand for ground extent to establish a tent. Motor lorry tents can be authentic elaborate, may extend to elsewhere the Bedstead itself, and can be bounteous expensive than typical tents. However with some ingenuity, you can change any good-size tent into your own truck tent to store within the Motor lorry and establish up as soon as you stretch your abutting campsite.
Instructions
1. Invest in a tent that Testament fit completely on top of--not within--the Motor lorry Bedstead. Degree the Bedstead's length, including the sides, before manufacture your shop for. You as well devoir a tent supported by arching poles. You should place a tarp on the bed floor underneath the comforters, unless you keep the bed of your truck very clean.
Make sure the tent's front end faces out, away from the cab. You may need to fill the bed to the brim to make this easier. This may also require at least two people to assemble, with one person standing on the opened tailgate.
3. Attach sturdy straps with hooks to the tent through the loops where the tent stakes would go. Attach the hooks on the other ends to the truck's undercarriage. You should now remove everything you used to fill up the truck bed.
4. Cut off the tent bottom from underneath. This is usually made from strong synthetic material like polyurethane, so you'll need a strong knife to chop with. Remove the tent's front end also.
5. Create a new front end to the tent with the tent's bottom. Affix it to the tent ceiling and side edges with a strong epoxy glue, but leave enough space so you can lift it up like a flap to enter and exit the tent easily. Don't worry if there isn't enough material to drop all the way to the bed floor; it only needs to drop past the closed tailgate.
6. Store cushioning in the truck bed for more comfort in the new truck tent. Multiple comforter sheets should work very well. You'll tear this tent up, so treasure an inexpensive however durable one.2. Cause the tent on top of the Motor lorry Bedstead to arrange firm it completely covers the bed and sides.
