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.
