Truck Bed Tents

[VolsRam]

I am considering getting a truck bed tent for my ‘17 RAM with the 5’7” bed. What truck bed tents do y’all have, and what are your thoughts on them? What things should I consider when researching options? Any other accessories I should look at to improve the experience with the tent?

Not a bed tent but it sure is handy!

@Brandon-w, that's pretty cool. Would you share some more pics of your setup?

Thanks guys. I'm just starting to get things together for it. The rack is bought but customized, the tent is the biggest hardshell I could find because I like my space.
I'm going to add a rolling bed to it so I can slide it out and have access to my fridge/freezer combo and a kitchen with hot water. I'm going to run two batteries under the truck and have them teamed up with a remote control 3000w inverter. There's a 500w solar panel going on roof of the tent to keep things topped up when the sun's out. It's a slow work in progress but up here in the Yukon there's so much to explore and I can't drag my 36foot RV down those kinds of roads. The one of the tent with the side room isn't mine, I have not taken the side room out of the box yet as it was a Christmas present and it's been cold here.
The tent has a port in the side for a diesel heater and it has winter insulation as well which is a big bonus.

Brandon, your link shows a 404.

Believe it or not, the correct URL has a typo in the name. Pas de e.

That's a pretty slick outfit, I could have used that in the '80s and '90s during my outdoor expedition days.
