5-10 min or so if you have to empty your bed. Its easy. I think mine is made by NapierHow long is setup on that?
It’s much easier to crawl in the bed of your truck and sleep than it is to set up a tent every night. Camper limits where you can go. Cheap tents don’t work well when the weather turns.I also have a 99 tacoma with a 6ft bed and slept in the bed many nights on a lightweight cot. I'd recommend an inexpensive tent and a quality cot and sleeping bag.
I also have a lightweight Viking pop up trailer that I use for extended stays.
If absolutely have to sleep in the bed of a truck then why not get a camper or a roof tent.
I did a similar setup in a sand hills unit in NM last year. I ended up dealing with mosquitoes at night and hordes of flies during the day. It made for a long hunt.I usually sleep under the stars, luckily there’s not many bugs in NM. If bad weather is in the forecast I’ll take out the toolbox and use my Bestop topper. 6.5 foot bed in an F-150.
The mummy shaped ones fit without scrunching. I have the largest size of Xtherm and it fits.I sleep in my 5.5' Tundra bed with a topper....i'm 5'10" and it sucks. Have to sleep corner to corner and with a blow up mattress its wedged in there all goofy. I want to get the 6.5" bed and put a SS topper on it with a pop-up tent mounted on top of that for sleeping. Damn, this thread is going to force me to go spend a bunch of money i don't have.
There are lots of foam mattresses for kids on amazon with a removable sleeve you can wash. I have one that's 5'6 and fits perfectly in my 5.5 ft f150 bed.The mummy shaped ones fit without scrunching. I have the largest size of Xtherm and it fits.
I’ve also considered getting a 5” RV foam mattress and cutting it to form.
