How to choose the right truck bed tent
Before choosing which tent to buy for your truck, make sure you read the measurements in the product description. Also, be sure to find out the length and width of your truck bed by measuring it yourself or reading the owner’s manual. Most important, never drive your truck with your tent still attached.
How to install a truck bed tent
Make sure to read the instructions provided on the packaging when installing your truck bed camper. Every tent is different so make sure you are prepared. First, make sure your truck bed is completely empty and lower the tailgate. Then roll out the tent into the bed with the door facing the tailgate. Next, use the straps included with the tent to tie it down to your truck. Then assemble the tent poles and insert them into the tent to raise it up. Once it is fully raised, attach the pole clips to the poles to keep it in place. Here is a tutorial on how to install a truck bed camper from Napier Stores on Amazon.
