Any of you ever go vehicle camping?

Whether it’s a tent for the back of your truck bed, a tent on the top of your SUV/Car/Whatever? Ive always been a pretty basic tent on the ground kind of guy, but it looks like fun, and hey, who know, one day we might all be living in a truck tent by the river.

That's what Gabby Petito said too.

I spent a couple of summers camping out of a pickup with a camper shell in Nevada. I was working 10 days on and 4 days off so I didn't want to rent. There is plenty of BLM land and it's cool at night out there mostly.

All the time. Love it. Truck tent is what I use.

After a 2 week camping trip from Louisiana to Wyoming one summer when I was in HS. I decided I would never go camping as a vacation again.

They call it overlanding, and you can’t do it properly without spending $20k on fancy roof racks, cantilevered tent platforms, LED lights and a winch.

I'll stick with my tent on the ground unless its camper van or something. I don't want to take down my car tent to use the car for the day.

Used to enjoy it. Glamping only nowadays.

I’ll call it camping but most folks would disagree. I will not drive after I’ve been drinking so prior to Uber I’d just sleep in my car. I’ve “camped” all over the south from Houston to destin.

I carry a tent and sleeping bag in my trunk. Anywhere could be my home.

I used to always sleep in my SUV growing up. I had a Durango and would lay all the seats down, put a foam mattress and a bunch of blankets. Roll the windows down. Was actually really comfy and I didn't need to set up a tent.

Years ago I had a Ford Explorer Sport that I’d use during deer season. I could lay down the back seats and roll out my bed roll.

I camped in my vehicle after the first night in a tent elk hunting in Montana. 5° with 20mph winds.

Plenty of time. Especially during covid. My Tacoma has a camper shell. I bought one of those suv tents so I can unload the gear into tent area and then blow up mattress in bed of truck.
Can setup or breakdown everything in about 20 mins
