Sportz Truck Tent

Great a bit of a handful putting it together by myself but will be a snap now that I’ve done it. Interesting fact I have a tool box on my truck was a little concerned but the box makes a great seat. I’m very impressed with the design. I was thinking about building a frame out of PVC pipe to set it on the ground and free up the truck on long stays

Had my Sportz Truck Tent now for 17+ years and still going strong. I have been extremely pleased with the quality and longevity of this tent. I did reseal the rain fly seams 3 years ago, but aside from that, no other work required. You can’t beat sleeping off the cold, wet ground. I would not hesitate to buy another Napier Truck Tent!

We have used this tent a few times this summer. It’s nice to be off the ground. Love the room this tent provides. My husband is 5’7 and can easily stand inside the tent. Two of the times we camped, it rained pretty good and we stayed dry. In summer there is good venting and had a little battery operated fan to keep the air moving and slept great. Recently we camped where the night time temp dipped to 35 degrees and had quite a bit of condensation around the top section. It’s easy to put up. The instructions are sewn to the bag so you don’t loose them and are simple to follow. It takes the two of us about 15 minutes. My husband was able to do it by himself but it’s easier with two people. We really like this tent and have been happy with this purchase.

Absolutely love this tent, and customer service is great!! It was more spacious inside than I thought it would be. We got some rain the first time I used it, but stayed completely dry. The condensation was a bit much inside the next morning, so we’ll have to vent it more next time. Hoping it won’t be too cold.

The biggest issue I had was that the long, gray vestibule pole split on the first use. This seems to be a problem with a lot of people. I hope they find a way to stop this from happening so often. I may have to order a couple extra poles to have just in case it happens again, and I’ll definitely have Gorilla tape on hand.

However, the customer service was fantastic, and I received my replacement pole within a week. Ready to head out again! I would completely recommend this tent!

Does it fit a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado? I have the pin number if that helps. Thank youI have a 18,019 Chevrolet Colorado and wonder if one of these campers would fit my vehicle. I have the Vin number for that helps. Please call or text thanks.

I have a sports truck tent. I just got but only numbers I can find is 95002. Can you give me any information regarding this product like a set of instructions and what vehicles this may go to

Just looking at reviews I’m not the only person that had the gray pole break ordered and paid for a new one. $15 shipping a little much for something breaking first use plus paying for the pole. But still I love this thing.

I bought the Model #57022 tent because it is a fraction of the price of a good slide in truck camper. And, at 70+ years old, i didn’t want to deal with my heavier canvas ground bell tent.
I just finished a weekend camping trip on Lake Pat Mayse to fish a local club bass tournament. I’m not trying to get sponsored or sell you on the tent. It has many more positive points than negative.
We camped in the lake’s RV campsite area with tall trees forming a canopy. Severe storms rolled in the 2nd night. The tent did withstand the thunderstorms and wind, and didn’t get wet inside until i had to open it up to take it down in the rain.
I’m 6’4″ tall and enjoyed the 5’8″ interior height, and could sleep comfortably since the tent was made to accommodate my 6’6″ truck bed length, and even extended further over the dropped tail gate, giving extra room for storage and stretching out.
I was able to easily disconnect the straps around the tailgate and remove the rear tent support rod to raise the tailgate. That allowed me to drive with the tent still installed and tow my boat to/from the launch ramp.
It took a while to figure out the first time set up even after watching the instruction video (several times). I was very concerned about breaking the fiberglass support rods when flexing them to fit into their holders, especially the long gray rod over the entry vestibule. I tried to minimize the strain on that and other rods by making sure the rod was centered in its sleeve before flexing it to insert into the end tabs. That helped but I’m still concerned about the long gray rod breaking as it has the greatest stress from flexing. I will order a replacement to be ready for that possibility.
I’m also concerned about the durability of the elastic inside the rods. Definitely carrying duct tape to be prepared for that to break.
The rain fly rests on the side windows, preventing air circulation. This might be due to my setting up the tension on the side straps wrong. But, i can remedy that by adding guide ropes under the rainfly to each side to give more clearance and air flow.
After returning home, I set the tent up again to let it dry out. I cleaned it and packed it away for the next use.
Bottom line is I really like the tent, the truck tent concept, and the ease of set up (the second time around). The air flow without the rain fly and with the entry & side windows open makes sleeping very comfortable. The screens do a great job of keeping the bugs out. And, i like the ability to move short distances at lower speeds with the tent installed (such as from campsite to boat ramp). I don’t have experience with other brands of truck tents, but, even though some improvements could be made, i am satisfied with the quality of this Napier tent.

Definitely not made for 67 y/o woman with hand disabilities, I can put together a “ground “ tent a lot easier. But I love the concept, to get off the ground, climbing up instead of getting down to ground level.

Love the tent. Have gotten a lot better at the set-up and breakdown. One issue was the gray pole over the entry splintered on our second use. A replacement was easy to get, but rather annoying that the quality was so poor to splinter on the second use. This seems to be an issue judging by other reviews with a similar problem.
