Tents for Back of Trucks
Written by Ben Jackson|
Napier Backroadz for your bed chart. Rainfly on. Z Lite on the floor. Pitch once in daylight.
Key takeaways
- Tape the bed.
- Confirm the chart.
- Rainfly even if kind.
- A pad on the floor.
A truck-bed tent that earns a night is a shell that still matches bed length, straps you will still cinch, and a pad you will actually sleep on — not a ground tent you stuffed in a toolbox and renamed. The short answer: buy a Napier Backroadz in the series that still lists your bed, confirm the rainfly, and throw a Z Lite on the floor.
Short version. A tarp if the other Saturday is already weather. A cot if you wanted off the dirt without a truck. Pair with fall camping. Check live prices.
This page is a bed tent. A rooftop tent is a later shop. This is Napier Backroadz, a Z Lite.
Measure the bed. A “full size” hope is a return.
Do: tape the floor, tailgate closed and open. Don’t: a short-bed listing on a long bed you guessed. The truck if the other Saturday is already the vehicle. Van or RV if the other body already wants a coach.
Backroadz 13 Series if you want the older known shell
The Napier Backroadz Truck Tent 13 Series is the live shell we named. Confirm the bed chart on the listing. Check live prices.
Do: color-coded poles in daylight once. Don’t: a first pitch at 10 p.m. in rain. Camp skills.
A current Backroadz if the 13 Series is already gone
The Napier Backroadz Truck Tent is the live current shell we named. The Backroadz with rainfly we named is the live alternate. Check live prices.
Do: the rainfly even if the sky looks kind. Don’t: a window you left unzipped in a sideways rain. Fire zones if the other Saturday is already a ban.
A floor is still a rib. Put a pad on it.
The Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol is the live foam we named. Check live prices.
Do: two pads if two people. Don’t: a toolbox as a pillow. A hiking pillow if the neck is already the fight. Etiquette if the lot is already a camp.

A Napier Backroadz in the series that still lists your bed length, with a rainfly you confirmed and a pad on the floor.
13 Series or current?
13 Series if you want the older known shell. Current Backroadz if that listing is the live one for your bed.
Do I need a pad?

Tape it. A short-bed listing on a long bed you guessed is a return.
Rooftop tent instead?

First pitch when?
