Turn your car or truck into an elevated tent.

Camping is set to be one of this summer’s most popular vacays. But what if sleeping on the ground isn’t your thing? No worries; whether you have a car, SUV, or truck, these add-on vehicle tents will keep you off the dirt while adding to your comfort and space.

Napier Backroadz Truck Tent

Available in five models to fit short, regular, and long bed styles, the Napier Backroadz Truck Tent delivers an elevated camping experience, which means you’ll keep your distance from cold ground, nosey bears, and things that creep and crawl.

The tent is really durable and easy to assemble, thanks to color-coded poles and sleeves. It sleeps two adults, and two big mesh windows and a generous entrance door offer optimal ventilation, while rainfly and storm flaps provide privacy and weather protection. Gear loft, gear pocket, and lantern holder help keep personal items organized.

Napier Sportz Cove SUV Tailgate Shade Awning Tent

No pickup truck? No problem—there’s a tent for SUVs, too. This canopy shade comes in two sizes (small and mid- to large-sized SUVs). It will shelter you from the sun while a mesh screen keeps out bugs and an integrated storm flap provides privacy and protection from the weather.

Napier Family-Tents Sportz SUV Tent

 

Want more space? The Napier Family-Tents Sportz SUV Tent comes in two sizes (medium and large) and sleeps 5-6 people. (It still includes a sleeve that converts the cargo area to a sleep space; the sleeve can be removed to convert the tent to a ground model.) Steel and fiberglass color-coded poles make for easy one-person set-up.
