I'm 6'4" 265 and my wife is 5'4" 110... an air mattress is a no go. After looking for a long time at various solutions we got a futon mattress (full size) and it works awesome and is a great insulator. It rolls up decently compact, but it is way bigger and heavier than an air mattress. The sacrifice in size and weight we are happy to trade for the comfort and warmth the futon gives. It's surprising how much heat you lose when you're on a steel truck bed with just an air mattress separating you from the truck. I have the same Napier setup, it works awesome for trips up into the backcountry on roads I can't bring our toy hauler.

Thanks for the tip on the futon mattress!

Looks like a great camp! I was in Henderson, NV several years back and I think that it's in a great spot. I visited Red Rock Canyon and I wanted to see Sloan Canyon, but time didn't permit. Thanks for the video!

THANK U FOR THIS VIDEO! Sarah and Joey Y’all answered all the questions I had about this particular truck tent. I just got a ridgeline truck bed tent only but Ima get the Napier as well! I also took great notice and Still Shots of Breakfast lol! Have a blessed life always!!! Hey Dokie Duke!

We are so happy to help! Let us know how your adventures with the Napier tent go!

Hi guys - such an interesting vlog, this one. I can well imagine you wanting to escape 117F weather. We were stuck one summer in a Paris heatwave of 45C (113F), and it was horrible. We ended up spending half our holidaying taking cold showers. I love your tent too - very nice. Lots of room for Duke, who looks so happy to be camping with you. And your dinner didn't seem strange to me at all. I would say yummy, but I'm a pescatarian. We always eat sort of like this: veggie meat, fruit, some type of veg. Take care and we can't wait for you to adventure to Europe sooner than later. 🤗

Great video and great energy !!

Thank you so much!

Its an awesome tent system. I put min in my four x eight utility trailer. Downside, the fiber poles are shit. They splinter and fracture. Need to be aluminium.

After years of camping with air mattress and trying different things. Get a self inflating pad . We have the double king camp I’m 6’1 260 and my wife is around 170 and it sleeps great . We just used it for a 4 night music festival. I also sleep on my side and it’s been the best thing we’ve tried.

Thank you for the suggestion! It’s definitely been a little difficult with the air mattress so we will have to take you up on your recommendation 🙌🏻

@showtimes1000…who’s brand self inflating pad do you use? TIA😎🏕️

i dont think it will get much better than sleeping on an air mattress and hopefully you dont give your lovely dog too much avocado as it could make him sick with the runs and heart congestion ..

Hello, what is the name of the added tent or screen room section? We're trying to find one for our truck bed tent

@joeyandsarah, @5:25, I suggest keeping a couple MREs stashed behind the back seats. Hate rolling in late and finding out a food place is closed. I learned the hard way. It’s even worse if you roll in after a long hike…

@@JoeyandSarah thanks. My wife and I came in late to Acadia NP this past July. It was cold and rainy and I barely had a decent enough tarp to cover my stove for soup, let alone the issue with not having a porch for the tent door, LOL!. Would have been a better start to our vacay if we didn’t have to worry about cooking.

Agreed even on trips where I don't plan to cook, a couple of Peak dehydrated meals come along. Peak stuff costs a few bucks more but it's SO worth it.

@@John_Ridley that’s good, too. IDK about Peak, but with MREs, you get a chemical heater, so no need to start a fire. There again, HOWEVER, if you’re hungry and cold, you probably need a fire anyway, so… Basically, just have SOMEthing to tide you over if necessary.

Hey! Great vid! 95% sold on the tent & link🏕️…curious to know if you solved the mattress situation? Thx🙏🏻😎

We haven’t really solved the mattress situation but we’re thinking a tri fold mattress would be best but it takes up a lot of storage space. So, we just use the blowup mattress and deal with it haha
