Yikes. I ordered the tent and mattress before watching this video. I hope the mattress issue was resolved by the company. Your wife is a wonderful person to still enjoy the camping/fishing excursion and put up with the inconveniences!
Thank you for this very interesting and informative video. Beautiful Fall colors and amazing lake - sorry about the air mattress. I live in Southern California and was born in Michigan seventy years ago. Peace to you and your lady - take care brother.
I know this is a fairly old video but worth watching. I like yalls style! Great tent I'm looking at one too. That mattress though is a bummer. Beautiful place up there!
Enjoyed the video. Just purchased a Napier myself. An instruction I received with my air mattress (different brand) said that the first time you inflate them, the material stretches, which gives the illusion that there's a leak, but to continue inflating them for a few days prior to use. By then the material will have finished stretching, and should hold its air better. Keep on camping! :)
Even a bad day of camping is a good day referring to the mattress. Storms or not, it’s better than living in a big city. Love the disco lights setup everywhere ☺️
Nice video of your camping trip. Haven’t been able to go camping in a very long time. I love watching videos like these. Beautiful lake and trees. Thanks for sharing. Love the lights.
Nice job on the long vid. Your lady is a trooper! Was about to buy this Napier and your week long rain convinced me lol ! You should edit your title for Napier so more people can search and find it. Again great camping vid and beautiful setting.
I think it’s spelled Napier? That’s what I was searching for. Again not being picky but you have an excellent video regaining lots of rain over many days. Great testament to no leaks! Sold me for sure!
Good looking truck! I just picked up a green 15 z71 Chevrolet, did a small lift on 34.5 inch tires, scored a Napier tent yesterday. Ready to use it, love the video!
I think of our trip we took to the up of Michigan often, A quiet little Lake in the middle of nowhere. Itwas a good place to relax and enjoy nature. I hope you have many good trips in your new truck in tent keep on camping
I'd like to thank everybody for For watching our video about our trip with our napier tent When we went to the UP of Michigan fishing on a little secret lake In the fall time It sure is a beautiful time of the year to spend the time in the woods .
I did that drinking game thing. Every time you say said “Rain”, I drank. Holy moly that was worse than my college days. Lol. Seriously glad the tent worked out. Looking at one myself.
Your lady did a great job......!! and you held the camera nicely, too..! LOL! FRANKLY, I was interested as to how well the air mattress worked, as it appears that quality control is a crap shoot..
The air mattress worked really good When the mattress stayed up, There was enough room for 2 people to sleep comfortable, We scent the air mattress into the company and as of now we have not heard any Thing Back , But they said they would fix it
@@cabinlife4551 It was interesting to see how you filled it every night, hoping it would hold air throughout the night, as if the leak would magically repair itself.. LOL! boob toob content providers, ya' don't have to luv 'em..!! LOL!
@cabinlife4551, did you get condensation? I have the same tent and got pretty gnarly condensation in Acadia National Park. It’s to be expected when you’re locked in from 4 days of heavy rain. Finally solved the problem with a large tarp over, allowing me to open all panels for ventilation.
Yes we got condensation in the tent We stayed and fished for a week everyday We would open up the door and all the flaps to help dry out things out I checked out where Arcadia National Park is in Maine looks like a awesome place We were in the West End of up of Michigan We had a great time and the color was beautiful .. Happy camping
That looks like a great tent. I have that Coleman Insta-tent and an awning. I am trying to get a good setup for my wife to go with me without having to buy a camper. I have never had good luck with air mattresses due to my size, but maybe I can find an alternative to that. I see that this was 3 years ago and I would like to hear if you are still using this setup? Thanks for the video!
I was going to buy that mattress, glad i see this, pisses me off 300, for a matress they cant QC test, prob a bad weld, total POS, im buying the tent, but a dif bed Thx
We've sent the mattress into the company and they got back with us and said the mattress was defective We haven't received our new mattress yet it is still on back order Yes where we was camping the area is beautiful In the fall time
I’ve looked it up. Napier has 2 prices, basically $180 and $300. I’m debating in between getting one of these vs the Kodiak one which is $500 but way thicker material (I guess it’d last longer?)
Did you maybe find the Canadian site? I’m serious. When I got mine, I was on the Canadian site, saw they had a special, and was happy I would save like $75, only to find out the sale was for Canadian post. Ah well, decent tent for the price anyway.
Thats a pretty amazing tent considering it rained most of the time you were camping! Did you put waterproof spray on prior to setting it up? Im looking at buying one. Thanks for sharing! 👌🏻
We had the tent all set up for a day or 2 before I figure it out I should have sprayed water proof Spray On the Tent So it was not treated On This trip My mistake but the tent did not leak at all It is a really nice tent When we got back home We sent the mattress into the company and they sent us a new mattress
I haven't noticed any scratches in my truck where the straps rub! If you are worried about getting scratches you could put a soft cloth in between the truck and the strap to help.
Looks awesome! Good review on the tent looks like you really put it to the test! I am about to go exploring with my wife and looking at overnight lows of -5c to +5c so right around 30f. Gonna buy a buddy heater as well. Did you run yours all night? Or just to warm up before bed? Thanks!
When we went for a drive We took the ⛺ off the truck it only took 10 or 15 minutes, There is 3 straps on each side off the truck That we unhooked, 3 on a tailgate And then we pick the tent of the truck and set it on the ground and off we went
I have one of these tents and love it!!! Mine has a roll out awning with 2 poles instead of this style. A little catalytic heater will make it cozy in freezing temps! I use a cot to get higher in the tent. I left everything in the tent and actually found you can drive up to about 30mph with it in the bed! It slid a bit and I don’t recommend it but anymore I just drop the 4 poles (2 diag, 1 mid, 1 opening), put a weighted tarp over it, pull the mid side straps at the tires and tuck them, make sure the taillights are uncovered, and away you go. Resets back up in 5 minutes. A pop up canopy over the back of the truck helps a ton with the rain noise.
Thank you .... this is the best truck tent review I've watched outta 23 videos ... real time, real life ... I'm buying one 🙏✌️

We Sent ours back into the company to see if there is a Leak We have not Got it back yet. Have fun staying in the napier Thanks for watching our video
It took me alot of years to learn to not let the rain get me down when I went camping/canoeing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
Nice video ! Thanks from South Carolina !

How do you think I should have the title to get more searches

Thanks a lot for the help ,Glad you enjoyed the video

A great setup you have there. Love the tent - so why did your mattress deflate. seems like a slow leak some where. thanks for sharing gorgeous site
We've sent the mattress into the company and they got back with us and said the mattress was defective We haven't received our new mattress yet it is still on back order Yes where we was camping the area is beautiful In the fall time

Nice video. Any information on the tent and heater. Amazon?
Is it raining ☔
Any more word on the air mattress?
No no word on it yet ,we Sent it in And they said they was going to fix the leak
Thats a pretty amazing tent considering it rained most of the time you were camping! Did you put waterproof spray on prior to setting it up? Im looking at buying one. Thanks for sharing! 👌🏻

@@cabinlife4551 Oh very nice! You deserved a new mattress for sure! 👌🏻
What size would I order for a 2010 Nissan Frontier King Cab with a 6ft. 1/2 inch bed?
Bon falls bruce crossing upper peninsula
nice does the straps scratch the paint ? im thinking of getting this for my 2021 colorado but im scared to scratch it up lol
I haven't noticed any scratches in my truck where the straps rub! If you are worried about getting scratches you could put a soft cloth in between the truck and the strap to help.
Looks awesome! Good review on the tent looks like you really put it to the test! I am about to go exploring with my wife and looking at overnight lows of -5c to +5c so right around 30f. Gonna buy a buddy heater as well. Did you run yours all night? Or just to warm up before bed? Thanks!
We just warmed up before we went to bed
Then I turn The Buddey Heater on in the morning to get the chill off Have fun on your trip
When you went for a drive, I’m assuming you removed the tent from the truck. Was that much of a chore?
When we went for a drive We took the ⛺ off the truck it only took 10 or 15 minutes, There is 3 straps on each side off the truck That we unhooked, 3 on a tailgate And then we pick the tent of the truck and set it on the ground and off we went

Resets back up in 5 minutes. A pop up canopy over the back of the truck helps a ton with the rain noise.
I bought and return this tent, nothing wrong but I found a big issue, once you setup your tent the car can not move anymore.
I remove the straps and set the assembled tent on the ground then replace it when I return.
Did they refund your money for the mattress?
Great test for the tent, lovely video.
My wife called the company, And they said send it to them and they will see if they can patch it
Thanks I am glad you enjoyed the video
I swear to God I smelled that fish when she was putting seasonings on it.
That was some of the best fish I've ever had in my life
I know its a headache with air mattresses. I will never trust one again. It takes up space but I've gone back to foam...
Thank you🌲🦫🦌🌲
I had something familiar to that truck tent and I ended putting styrofoam under my mattress and on the sides.
Nice video sir! I just ordered one of those tents. We do a lot of avting and camping in mid Michigan. Check out some vids if you want.
Monotone. 270 bucks for that piece of shit bed wow. I hope they refunded u all ur money
Thank you
It’s so beautiful up there! Glad you had a great time!
