I have the 8' version of that for my 350 longbed. I love it. I have an air mattress that fits perfectly between the wheel wells.

Nice, I also have a 6.5ft tent that works on the 6 3/4 bed of the super dutys. It feels huge in there once its set up.

OK, finally got some cr@ppy low res pix... took my youngest son camping last weekend, and snapped a few.

The rack is a modified MaxxTow, I cut the legs down so in transport mode, the top of the tent is about even with the roof of the truck (no aero drag).

The RTT is from Frontrunner, it's a light duty 3 season tent, the whole tent (less the rack) weighs about 80lbs, so it's really light. It works great, is easy up & down, and very rain resistant. The 4" foam mattress is also quite comfy. Beats the ground for sure!

Very happy with my F150 "camper"!

That looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing. That's the route I like. Don't want to get a shell over the bed.

My boss had a rack made for the box and stuck a James baroud grains raid xxl on it.

Just got my mosquito net, so I'll be setting up the "2 story" camper....queen air mattress in the bed, mosquito net around the base of the RTT. I'll post some more pix when I get it all set up. Hoping to field test over July 4th weekend.

Dallas, looks great! I'd be interested in your garage lift setup as well. Cheers

I ordered a Mule rack from Expedition One, hopefully I'll get it soon. I'll be putting my ARB RTT on my truck as soon as I can.

I've got a Leitner rack on my 8ft bed supporting a CVT Mt Rainier extended. Love it.

Not available in the US yet, but when they come out I'm hoping to get an iKamper.
