Title: Truck tents
Post by: DDSBYDAY on August 08/09/12, 08:20:40 PM

   I'm looking at getting one of these.  Anyone ever use one?  Any tips as to drawbacks or what to look for.  I will be going with the queen air mattress also.   Last question would be have you ever used it in the winter?   Thanks for your help.

     I would like to take a couple of long weekend fishing road trips without having to book a resort weeks in advance.  Possibly a couple of ice runs too without having to rent a sleeper.  I was thinking these tents should work quite well.  I know most Minnesota accesses don't  allow overnight camping.  I was thinking lakes with primitive campsites.

    The eelpout festival comes to mind also.
