    The one I have been looking at is the solar one that goes on the roof bars. I'll include link in a second of the one I am looking at.

    I only camp when hunting during turkey season. The past several years I've rolled with a tent at various campgrounds, hopefully somewhat nearby the area I want to hunt. Earlier this spring I bought a camper shell for my truck. This is what has been riding in the bed of my truck since April 1, and I've got one more out of state run this weekend.

    I carry one or two coolers, a small propane grill, a 7 gallon water jug ( wash hands, portable shower ), one plastic tote with bread and camping shit in it and a few extra pairs of boots. Extra clothes, gun, vest and other odd and ends ride in the back seat. I sleep on a single person air mattress. When I get to where I'm going to sleep I pull my cooler out, blow my mattress up, cook, then go to sleep. When I wake up I pull the plug on my mattress, fold it over one time, throw my sleeping bag on top, cooler back in and I'm ready to roll. It has really simplified things and kept me very mobile, I can change locations at any time and all my shit is in my truck. On extended stays where rough weather is forecasted it's still nice to have a tent to crawl into so you're not cramped in the bed of the truck, trying to cook, sleep, and stay dry all at the same time,

    Certain NF lands in certain states will let you sleep at closed gates, as long as you're not blocking the gate, just as if you were hunting. Now I realize this is a fine line between "camping" on a spot to hunt and just sleeping. However it is nice to be able to roll into an area fairly late and get a few hours sleep before sun up. Other areas require you to use a designated campground, most without a reservation. While others require a permit to camp primitively on NF lands but won't allow you to sleep in your truck as in a mobile campsite. Each state is different and have their own set of rules between NF land and / or WMA areas. I've found the southern states to be much more appealing to someone who just wants to sleep in their truck and hunt. Up North they seem to want to make you jump through a few more hoops.

    So far this spring I think I've spent 9 or 10 nights in my truck and roughly 3 in my tent.
    Solid plan until you're in Bear country!

    Why in the world would somebody pitch a tent in their truck bed?
    "hunting should be a challenge and a passion not a way of making a living or a road to fame"

    Ever hunt on a budget?
    Cheap, mobile, and easier on gas verses pulling a huge camper.
