If you own a pickup, and you like to spend time outdoors, why not consider truck bed tents as a convenient shelter for your overnight foray? With a wide selection of camping shelters to choose from, outdoorsmen will want to consider the benefits of truck bed tents over other options. Truck bed tents are designed to set up over the top of your truck bed, using the box of the truck as the base. This keeps your shelter up off of the ground, and out of the mud – a definite advantage over traditional tents. Truck bed tents fold and fit easily inside the box of your truck along with your other gear. Tents can be very lightweight – around 20 lbs. Lightweight gear helps to keep your truck running efficiently, and can contribute to a significant savings in gasoline. When compared to a pull-behind trailer, the savings in gasoline is even greater. Truck bed tents vary in their design and construction, with options to fit your camping preferences. Many varieties are tall enough to allow a person to stand up inside. Rain flaps and awnings are a common feature. They can also fit a variety of vehicles from full-size long bed, to mid-size, to compact short bed. Many boast a quick and easy set-up. Along with all of these benefits, comes a price that is nice. Truck bed tents can vary in price beginning in the low hundreds. A definite option to consider if you like to spend time in the great outdoors. Share
