Kodiak Truck Bed Tent: Opinions?

The tent looks OK, but it appears that you'd have to unload everything
out of the truck bed to take advantage of the 5 foot headroom. Maybe
you could build some sort of plywood platform with drawers and access
hatches to sit in the bed, leaving you with 3.5 feet of headroom in the
tent and storage underneath.

I'm OK with unloading the truck. I intend to pack light in the frist place; this is for weekend trips only.

I agree that Kodiak Canvas makes a quality product. I looked that tent but ended up with their 10x10 ground tent. We base camp and go off on day-trips so a truck tent would mean breaking camp everyday. Not ideal for us.

However, if we were to overland I would definitely consider the KC Truck Tent. I would put some type of carpet kit/sleeping platform in my truck and cover it with a folding tonneau cover. Then remove the cover and gear totes when we got to camp and set up the tent.

If you get one let us know how you like it.
