Yeah, those truck tents are pretty sweet. We introduced them at CT maybe 2 years ago and they've been very popular. Like Fob, if I HAD to camp, being up off the ground is a bonus, and i agree that you could move the truck around the campsite without having to take the tent down....but on the road, no way. Great for festivals/events too....seeing lots of these pop up in the campgrounds at CTMP, etc.
Course, if you're sleeping 'in' the truck, why not just save the hassle and sleep in the cab The only time I've gone camping, back in university, I ended up sleeping in the cab of my Sonoma....Way more comfy than some sketchy tent.
Something tells me you're just not cut out for road trip adventuring, period..?
You're half right. I am not one for 'roughing it' for the sake of it....Just not my thing. If it's a situational thing, sure, but to just go out in sleep in nature for shits and gigs, not for me. Plenty of people like it, cool everyone has their thing, and I am not knocking it, it's just not my thing......Twice in my career I've neglected to vet my travel literary from my admin; once I wound up in a Comfort Inn in Belleville ON and the other time a TravelLodge in downtown Prince Geoge BC - that's enough roughing it for me
As for road trips, I love them. My favorite vacations have been road trips and I choose driving over flying, even for work stuff, every time I can. Given the time, roads trips are something I do for the sake of doing it, especially if I can do it in an interesting car. The Hagerty Maple Mille is an event I really want to do, but it falls on a really busy time of year for me...This year, Covid restrictions aside, I'd really like to make an effort to participate. That sort of stuff is my bag.
