5 Items to Upgrade Your Truck Camping Setup This Year
Truck camping is the best, and you don’t have to have any fancy gear. If you throw your sleeping bag in the bed of the truck and just drive until you can see the stars, you are living the dream. On the other hand, if you want to want to level up your setup this year, here are five can’t miss additions to increase your comfort and enhance your rig.
Rightline Gear SUV Tent
Sleeping out of the bed of the truck is awesome, but many modern trucks are just a bit too short to stretch out with the tailgate up. The Rightline Gear SUV tent hooks up to the back of a truck with a topper perfectly and extends your space. Now you can leave the tailgate down and get that extra 18” of sleeping length and have an extra room attached to your sleeping area to stand up, stretch out, and change clothes. You can also use this space for extra guests, kids, or pets to come along.

Front Runner Camp Chairs
Sure, you already have folding camp chairs, but they’re bulky and they pinch your knees together while you sit, and the cupholders don’t have any bottoms. The Front Runner Expander Chair's telescopic design allows this comfortable chair to fold into an extremely compact unit which is easy to store and transport. Do yourself a favor and grab two and the Double Storage Bag and you will be set.

Klymit Klymaloft Double Sleeping Pad
Klymit Sleeping pads are great in general, but the Klymaloft takes the comfort level up a notch. With a luxurious, plush foam topper that conforms to support the body and eliminate pressure points, this doesn’t feel like your average camping mat. The stretch polyester fabric is soft and quiet. The I-beam air chambers create loft and stabilize the sleeping pad, so you don’t feel like you’re sinking to the middle the whole night. Inflatable by hand or electric pump for easy setup and stuffable with included sack for storage. The double is our pick for truck camping, because it fits nicely in the bed of the truck and provides room for two.
MSRP $269.99 - Available through S-Cargo
WaterPORT Weekender
Depending on the kind of camping you do, you may or may not have access to clean water at your destination. Having your own supply is a good idea and WaterPORT water tanks are a killer option. The Weekender is an 8 gallon tank with included mounting brackets for securing the tank to your roof rack. It also comes with a fill valve for filling up, a Schrader valve for pressurizing your tank, and a hand-held sprayer for doing dishes, cleaning off gear, and taking camp showers.
