I wanted to let you know how great your truck tent performed on a fishing trip to the west coast of Vancouver Island this summer. I bought the tent to help save money on the ferry ride from the mainland to the island--they charge more for over height. This ended up being one of the wettest trips we have had in a few years; however, I stayed dry in the new tent. In fact, one night we had between 5 and 6 inches in a few hours and I slept thru the entire storm. Great product-Great design.
 Each time I put up the tent, I get a little faster. I would advise any new buyers to practice a few times in a protected spot so when faced with putting it up the first night in a storm, it will be a lot easier. 
 I am looking forward to more trips in the tent. Also, the idea we discussed on the phone for a fitted awning would really be great for getting raingear off and on. (Or shade for those few sunny days in the Pacific Northwest)
 
Thanks again---Bob, WA.

Hi folks!

I go to a music festival called the Gathering of the Vibes each year, and this year’s took place this past weekend at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT.  While it has been setup in the driveway a few times, in essence this was my A1 tent’s grand coming out party, and was it ever the belle of the ball.  You could tell which folks had trucks, because it seemed I had a least a dozen folks complement me about it, and ask me where I got it etc..   I had to leave my site one afternoon when I knew there was a nasty storm approaching, so I battened down the hatches and hoped for the best.  When I got back to the site, my EZ up had been destroyed, but the majestic A1 stood proud with a dry interior! 

Just thought you might like to hear stories like this.  Don’t be surprised if a few orders come your way from the gazers who strode by my rig.  Great Job!

I'm just writing to let you no how satisfied I am with your tent. I recently decided that paying rent was not for me and moved into my adventure truck tent. I have been living in my (your) tent know for over a month and believe I will do so until I pay off my truck and save up to buy some property. I think I am a good judge of quality and this tent was a well thought out design. I purchased the tent before I decided to live in it full time and tested it under extreme conditions. It handled 40mph gusts and a light snow load with no problem. I'm planning to live in my truck tent for up to 4 years (although I will probably go through more than one tent). Thanks for making a great product. Please don't change anything.

 Happy Owner, Tim

Just want to let you know that the Adventure-I tent is awesome. I do about 15 BBQ cook off’s a year and your tent is just what I needed. After setting it up the first time (which took me about 40 minutes) I now have it figured out and I can put it up in about 10 minutes. I cooked last weekend and Friday night it poured rain for about an hour. The tent was great – not a drop of water inside... I even had 4 or 5 people stop by to check it out – and they were impressed.

Thanks again -

I took the Truck tent, this last week-end, to the Nascar Race in Fort Worth, and camped out (very crowded event).  Lots of people stopped and looked at the tent (inside and out). I have the inside set up with two bunks, painted the plywood, and new milk crates.  Many people were impressed by the tent (it was also very windy, and held up well).

I bought the tent a couple of weeks ago.

Re:  The Adventure I Truck Tent –Original       
Model TLL-01 
GMC Sierra Crew Cab

I just had to write and tell you of my experience with your tent! For
 the last 8 years, I have gone to Wyoming to participate in the quarrying
of dinosaurs. The environment is very harsh to say the least,
rattlesnakes, scorpions, and the weather. I have gone through a tent a
year due to the harsh conditions, mainly the wind. In doing some research I came upon your tent and elected to take a chance on how it would hold up. It did amazingly well! Everyone was amazed at how in the 40/50 mph winds it held up. I can attest as to the durability of this product as well as the fact it is waterproof. I have never written to a manufacturer about its product before, but I felt obligated to relate my story.

My wife and I have camped in our cool new tent for the past
two weekends. Thank you so very much for a superior product. 
You obviously put a lot of thought into the design. 
It has all the extra stuff that differentiates it between adequate
and superb and I can't tell you how delighted we are. There is 
absolutely no doubt your product is the best truck tent on the 
market. Thanks again!

Best regards,

Re: Adventure I Truck Tent – Model TS-01
1994 Toyota Extended Cab

What a great vacation! Nova Scotia is the place to camp, and we found your truck tent to be
THE tent that fit all of our needs.

My wife, four-year old granddaughter and I traveled from Jacksonville, Florida to Yarmouth,
N.S. in our 94 Toyota extra-cab pickup. I built a raised platform in the pickup bed to cover
our gear while on the road and to sleep on under our new tent.

We camped 10 of our 13 days on the road, and experienced a wide range of North Woods
weather. Temperatures ranged from the low 50s to the upper 80s. The truck tent's large zippered
windows made  it easy to regulate ventilation. One particular night in New Brunswick, we had
approximately 25 mph winds and hard rain. The rain fly kept us dry and gave us privacy from
nearby neighbors while the windows were open.

By the time we got to New England, we had learned the tricks of setting up. Stowage of the
tent was made easy with your oversized bag. The most impressive thing about your truck tent
is the quality. The attention to detail in design, the fabrication, along with the quality of materials
and workmanship are outstanding. The tent fit the pickup bed perfectly.

My wife and I have camped our whole lives, from homesteading in Alaska to bicycling in Japan.
Your tent made it possible to especially enjoy this summer's camping trip to Canada.

Re: Adventure I Truck Tent

I just used the tent on an Indian Guides campout. What a fantastic tent, about thirty other dads
stopped by to admire it.

Thanks,

Re: Adventure I Truck Tent Model ALS-01 (Large/Short) on Chevy Silverado

In April this year, we retired our conversion van replacing it with a Chevy Silverado pick up. We
thought our days of short camping trips was over until we discovered your tent. We have used
it several times this year, and each time was enjoyable. It is easy to set up and take down and
gives us a use of our pick up truck we didn't previously consider.

Re: Adventure I Truck Tent Model ALS-01 (Large/Short) on 2005 Ford F-150

 The first time we set up the tent, we went to a pond on our tree farm and methodically worked through the directions. I love to read directions to see how well they are written, (I'm a retired middle school teacher) and found them very easy to follow. We had the tent up in no time. The F-150 has high sides on the truck box and tail gate, so there was a little opening in the tent where the tail gate meets the truck that I stuffed with some mosquito netting. The Retrax leaves a little shelf at the head of the truck box that is perfect for storing little things. Under the Retrax, we put our clothes bags so the pillows wouldn't slide forward.  The Bedrug keeps the sides of the truck warm, you can stretch out without touching cold metal. We woke to enjoy the airy spaciousness of the tent. There is plenty of ventilation, I unzipped the door to allow ventilation through the mosquito netting making it like the upper front opening. Next we spent some time in Maine. When we want to move on the next day, we just dropped the tent on top of the bedding, slid the Retrax over the truck bed and we were off. It was easy to set the tent up after dark the third time we used it. We've been camping in the back of an Expedition and find the Adventure-I is perfect, more head room and more ventilation. If it rains, we're just going to lay some plastic sheeting on top of the bedding, drop the tent, roll the Retrax and we'll be off. That way the bedding will stay dry and the tent will be ready to set up the next night. We can even open the Retrax cover and dry the tent out when we stop if the weather clears.

 I couldn't be more happy. The quality and workmanship is wonderful. We're used to ground tent camping and know a good tent when we see one. I'm so happy we didn't get a tent with a floor in it. I can't imagine having to take everything out just to get the tent out. We can put the tent up in about five minutes and take it down in less.

 As far as I'm concerned, this tent is the cat's meow.

Re: Adventure-I Truck Tent

 I received the tent on Thursday via UPS as expected, opened the box to drool over it, and glanced at the instructions, but didn't have much time.  Friday I left for my camping trip and arrived at the campground very late (11pm or after). I turned on the cargo light on my 1995 GMC Sierra and broke out the tent.  My truck has a Freedom Tonneau Cover, so I rolled it up as I would if I were going to haul something, but didn't have to remove the rails. Then I set up the tent, without looking at the directions, and by my self!  In less than 30 minutes I had rolled the tonneau cover, figured out what way was what for the tent, poles and rain fly, erected the tent, secured the rain fly, laid out my blanket, pad and sleeping bag and put my dog's bed on the tailgate.  The Adventure Truck Tent was the envy of the group!  Taking down the tent two days later was just as simple, I did it by myself again and it easily went back into the included sack, poles and everything! Even fit back into the box it shipped in.

 Thanks again for such a cool product!
