Alright guys! Just got back from a weekend trip in the mountains.I am currently posting from work so I have no way to upload the pictures. So those will come this evening.
Pros: You can set this up on the ground and slide it in the bed after setup.
You can slip it out of the bed and set it on the ground if you need to leave camp.
Fits two people comfortably.
Slightly over-sized so it can fit the 5' or 6' bed. (advertised for 5'6" bed)
It rained every night we were there. Light mist to heavy thunderstorm and did just fine, no leaks.
The awning is great. Can leave your shoes outside (we have a step to keep them off the ground) and not get wet.
Holds heat well so you don't get cold.
Hold down straps can also double as flag pole holders.
Cost, this is half the cost of the next cheapest bed tent.
Cons: Difficult to set up by one person.
Holds heat well, will get muggy with the rain cover on.
Separate doors, it has a screen door and a canvas door, each with their own zippers, unless you leave one door open, you have to open two doors to get inside. (not a deal breaker, just slightly annoying)
Some poles come slightly over-sized, our front door pole is about 3" too long and will need to be trimmed. Right now it seems to stretch the door a bit too tight.
Lack of storage pockets, completely. It has none. It has a net that attaches to the ceiling, but, I wouldn't put anything with weight up there.
These are all the things I can think of for the tent. So far, we like it. Great to be off the ground. And we are already planning our next trip. If any of you have any questions about the tent, just ask.
The Rightline bed air mattress did well. As expected. Stretched a bit because its new rubber and had ~350 lbs on it for 3 nights. But, not enough to need to repump, never felt truck bed. My only complaint is the cord they send on the pump is not long enough to pump the mattress while its in the bed. Not a big deal, just slightly annoying.
I will post pictures tonight of the TacoTent and the setup.
