Napier Truck Tent

- I had a blast setting up and spending the night in my Napier Truck Tent. The initial set-up took me about 90 minutes, as I decided to trim two of the fiberglass tent poles. The second time took me 20 minutes. The tent turns any truck into a poor man's RV. The tent retails for $240, through Amazon.

Thanks Brian! Appreciate your comment! :)
Like it. Looks ok and it will save you a lot of money.
Thanks EU! It's a poor man's RV, lol. It unlocks a trucks potential, as a simple, inexpensive camping tool 🏕
Wow Wow Wow. Loved your video and your truck tent. And that scenery - all from your driveway! How clever to trim the fibreglass to ensure a better fit. I loved that you couldn't wait to have a sleep out in the tent. Like a little kid! I am sure that you will have some great adventures in that tent. I have some photos for you of some of our nomadic camper projects. You have really touched on a passion that myself and my husband share. We love getting away in our caravans - both car and horse drawn. And...I happen to sew canvas camping projects for a living. Thankyou for sharing.
Thank you Vee! I count myself blessed to open the front door, and see those gorgeous mountains! I wanted to spend a few nights in the tent, prior to heading out to more remote locations, to see what I'd need. There's something about the call of the wild, that is appealing. Perhaps it's that we live in such an age, where we have sooo much stuff. Our homes fill up with stuff, and before long we're swimming in things. For me, I want to simplify and reduce my life, and take inventory of the things that I really need. I saw your DM, and all the photos. Wow! A horse-drawn caravan! Love it! And your canvas projects were amazing! Thanks so much for watching and leaving such a thoughtful message! Happy day! 😊
I used one for a couple years and enjoyed it. Decided to go hardtop. Sometimes wish I had the bed back.
Stacy, I totally get that. Each one has their advantages. I like the added security of the hard top, but love the functionality of the tent. :)
Yep!...looking forward to those camping trips!.....
Thank you Paul! Appreciated you watch and comment! I'm excited to get out & about, and film some camping excursions. 😊
Funny. Like you I have RUclipsd hundreds of van life, roof tent and other alternative living vids. It fascinates me as well, and I appreciate the bohemian mentality even tho I am not. Lol! I like the awning that comes with your tent. I may look into this down the road. Enjoy it.
Thanks Shep! I've really enjoyed the awning. I've been very impressed with the tent and the company. The customer service has been terrific. Let me know if you decide to get one. I've got a discount coupon you could use. Happy day! 🙂
What a cool idea! It looks like a lot of fun is headed your way this summer.
I'm excited, lol. Like a little kid. I grew up camping, but have gotten away from it. The tent turns my truck into a campsite. Thanks for watching Robyn! 🙂👋
@@rencougzip you're going to have lots of fun with this!
@@SeniorSafetyAdvice Oh Yeah! Thanks for watching! 😀
I love love camping!
Whoever invented camping should get an award! 🏕
I’ve heard you can lift these tents off the truck bed and leave them at the campsite while you drive somewhere. Do you know if this is possible to do? I’m definitely getting a tent from this company, quality engineering is always amazing!
Yes you can. It's a cool perk of these tents. Great quality. Great customer service. You're gonna enjoy getting a Napier. Happy camping! :)
Just one myself for my Titan Truck. hope it's as fun as you talked about on this video. thanks for the info
Pete, that's awesome! I've really enjoyed mine! Happy camping! 🏕
@@rencougzip thank you sir.
I love listening to rain on a tent or my van roof
Nature's symphony! 🌍🌧
Ohhh exciting. You can get out and do some exploring too. You won't regret having that freedom. I love van life but I love coming home to my bricks too! My van cost £4800 and I have great adventures. We don't do those huge RV rigs that you Americans do. They wouldn't fit in our country lanes 🤪
Thanks Pippa! I'm excited to get out and play! I agree, having both is best. It's nice coming home 🏡 The camping rigs here are huge! Of course so are the roads. You've got a cozy little van!
Now THAT is cool!
Thanks Casey! I feel like I'm 15 again! 😄
I watched another video where 2 guys used and reviewed your tent and they said they had better luck making the poles fit by leaving the straps real loose until they got everything done then tightened them up. The one guy said he almost snapped a pole also but setting up with the straps loose helped solve it.
Thank you Glenn! It's interesting. A neighbor of mine purchased the same truck tent 3 months later and asked me to help him install it. We were able to set it up without trimming the pole. Not sure if Napier made adjustments but both our tents are functioning well. Appreciate your watch and kind comment. Happy day! :)
Oh man, I TOO am fascinated with the "nomadic" lifestyle! I sooo want to try it as well, but it just seems like too much work lol! Patti prefers the more "lavish" stays and I don't blame her. It is tempting. There are so many YT channels out there too it's almost overwhelming. I am so much looking forward to you guys getting out in your new get up and seeing how it goes!
Thanks Darin! What is it about that lifestyle that is so appealing? Dad always referred to mom as his "refinement", lol. I think Patti & Melanie are our refinement, lol. Perhaps a trailer, camper, RV, would be more appealing to our "refinements". I like the idea of not having to be tethered to all the responsibility and cost of home-ownership. You're right, there are a plethora of YT channels that promote a more mobile lifestyle. Thanks for watching Darin, and stay tuned for some camping! 😊
@@rencougzip Our "refinements." Beautiful. What is appealing to me, is that of what we already seek, just being outdoors, but specifically, no neighbors! With dispersed camping, (like the Wassoms) do, you can be alone. We don't own a home. Just when we start to think about it, something comes up, and that recently being the pandemic. I am scared to death to re-purchase a home, because of what you said, the cost and responsibilities, and you are "stuck" and what if you have lousy neighbors? Nomadic lifestyle allows you to be free of that, I assume.
@@SippyCupAdventures Home ownership is awesome in many ways, but after raising 3 kids, and burying 5 parents. Our home has become an expensive storage receptacle, lol. We are trying to dig out of the clutter. I love the philosophy behind the nomadic culture. It forces people to become very intentional about what they own, because of limited space. Studies reveal that people actively use only about 15% of what they own. Crazy! 🤪
@CAMARO SS That I am! Camping's in the blood :)
Awesome video. 👌thanks man
Thank you Jane! I've had a blast camping with this truck tent. Appreciate your view and comment. Happy day! 🙂
that is interesting and what a way to spend time away from home.
BDW, thank you so much! I've been having a blast reliving my boyhood! 😅
Great video! Is this tent still holding up? I'm thinking about purchasing one.
Thanks Loulou! Yes, the tent has been terrific. I'm on my 3rd year with it. I had a tiny tear in the fabric, but the company was great to work with and sent out a replacement at no charge! :)
@@rencougzip thanks! Nice to hear...
Fantastic! What a great tent. There is something nomadic about sleeping outdoors and yes, that pitter patter of rain is so soothing and of course the birds. How was the mattress? Any backaches? Thanks for sharing!
Hey Jim! Thanks for watching! I saw this tent on YT, and immediately bought one, lol. I thought I'd give the driveway a whirl before venturing to the great outdoors. The 6 inches of foam was pretty comfortable, not like my bed, but not bad. The worst part was the small size of my sleeping bag. I felt like a kid again. It'll be fun with the grandkids. :)
How do you remove a pole section while keeping bungee connected?
Hi Blackscout, I had to pinch the bungee above the pole I was removing, untie the knot, remove the section and retie the knot. However, a buddy of mine bought the exact tent a year later, but didn't have to remove any of the poles. Seems like the company fixed the issue. Hope that helped :)
@@rencougzip ok I just received my camo napier last week. It has a tight bow in it. Guess I could just bend the last section and put it in the pocket and see. Thanks.
Nice video. I’m thinking about getting one of these. I have looked at reviews of all of them. I’m not excited about the prospect of cutting those poles. Do you still have this, and still like it? New follower here. Crow✌️
Hi Crow! Welcome aboard! Appreciate your kind words. I had a neighbor who ordered the same tent a couple of months after I did, and I helped him set it up. We didn't have to cut his poles. They fit perfectly. I'm not sure if Napier got this issue taken care of, but there was no problem with my buddies tent! Hope that is helpful. Happy day! :)
Hi! What kind of heater do you use?
Hi Das, I use the Mister Heater Big Buddy. It warms up fast. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you!
