Roof Top Tents for Trucks, Station Wagons or 'Well Backed' Vehicles

Can a tent be fitted to the rear of a truck, ute or sedan ?

There are tents designed for crew cab trucks, utes, trailers, pick-up trucks or ‘well backed’ vehicles, SUV’s and tray back vehicles.  Basically the tent is located or erected in the rear or ‘well’ of the vehicle.  The design provides for the edges of the tent to slide over the vehicle’s side rails to prevent water getting into the bed of the truck. 

There is also a design of tent for campervans and station wagons and these are sometimes called hatch tents.  Basically they are tent-like sleepers that clip over the tailgate or cargo areas of the rear of vehicles like station wagons, 4WD’s, SUV’s and campervans turning it into sleeping quarters.

Other designs are made to wrap around the cargo area but allow the tent to remain on site if you want to drive the vehicle away.

Some manufacturer’s/brand names are Cabela, Napier, DAC Inc., Conestoga Truck Tent and Safari Softshell Inc.
