Sportz Truck and SUV Tents
The leading manufacturer and distributer of vehicle camping tents, Napier Enterprises offers its Sportz truck and SUV tents to fit most popular vehicle models. The SUV tent wraps around the rear cargo area of the vehicle allowing you to access the interior for additional space. The detachable screen room offers a 7x6-foot area for bug free dining and family gatherings.
The 10x10-foot tent provides a sleeping area for five to six people along with the additional space provided by the vehicle. The tent uses a ring and pin assembly and shock-corded fiberglass poles for set up, and the Sportz SUV 83000's patented removable sleeve can be completely removed to convert the tent into a stand-alone ground tent making it easy to drive away from your campsite. The tent's detachable screen room allows you the flexibility to use the screen room or remove it when not in use. When in use the window storm flaps allow you to close up the screens to create a whole new room.
The Sportz Truck Tent III assembles in the back of your open-bed pickup to create a sleeping area for two people with over 5.5 feet of head room. The shock-corded fiberglass poles are color coded to match the corresponding sleeves, making set up an easy process. The tent's bed straps and an interior support pole adds strength allowing it to stay secure in the bed of the truck during storms. The durable, polyester exterior and rain fly have 1,200 mm of waterproofing coating to keep you dry even in the wettest weather. The Sportz Truck Tent III also features two large No-See-Um mesh windows and two ceiling vents for excellent ventilation. Additionally a 6x6-foot awning creates a protected storage area for bulky gear and also provides plenty of shade. The tent is available in eight sizes to fit the most popular trucks on the market.

Big Agnes Twin Butte Car Tarp
Since shady camping spots aren't always available on the trail a sunshade can be a lifesaver. The Big Agnes Twin Butte Car Tarp is a camping tarp/sunshade that attaches to a vehicle roof rack to create an awning style sunshade. The tarp can also be staked to the ground to create a wind break/sun shade along the side of the vehicle. The tarp is supported using two adjustable DAC lightweight anodized aluminum poles that extend from 68 to 78 inches. The actual maximum height of the tarp depends on the height of the vehicle. Sleeves are in place on the tarp for securing it to the poles and multiple loops are available for hanging lights and gear (the Big Agnes Square Gear Loft is sold separately). The Twin Butte Tarp is made from durable polyester rip-stop with a 1,500mm waterproof polyurethane coating and all tarp seams are taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape. Reflective guy lines and four lightweight aluminum X-stakes are included. The Big Agnes Twin Butte Tarp is available in rust or charcoal colors. An accessory bug screen is also available.

MSR Outfitter Wing
The MSR Outfitter Wing is a great base-camp or trail-side shelter for big groups. It offers a six- to 12-person capacity and can provide 200 square feet of relief from the elements. It uses a unique seven-point design to provide a selection of set-up options, including the ability to be paired with MSR's largest tent, the Board Room. The Outfitter Wing is also quiet, stable, and strong, without the annoying flapping in the wind that is common when using cheap tarps as shelter. The interior peak height is variable depending on set up but can extend to as much as 96 inches. The Outfitter Wing weighs about 10 pounds and includes two 8-foot poles and seven RockBuster stakes. The smaller Vista Wing is also available, offering 120 square feet of coverage for two to four people.
