Thanks!@Andy Nice rig.
Is your tent mounted on your Tonneau cover ?
Do you have a pic which the tent stowed for travel ?
Practice in your driveway...the first couple times that you set up you'll need an extra set of hands but then it gets easier.Thanks for the photo as I have that same tent for my scab. I haven't been able to use it yet as the state parks here are closed.
Thanks I will. I did at least set it up in the house on the floor. Do you set it up while in the truck bed or on the ground first? It seems it may be hard to reach when setting some of the poles. By the way the last pole to set, on the inside, was crazy tight.Practice in your driveway...the first couple times that you set up you'll need an extra set of hands but then it gets easier.
Well this may not be "PC" but if your pole was crazy tight that might be a good thing...LOL!Thanks I will. I did at least set it up in the house on the floor.

I like your setup!Thanks!
The tent is mounted to the diamondback cover using Frontrunner rails ,cross bars, and 6” risers.
This is the only pic I have of if folded in right now but If you want a close up of the rack I can do that.
Real nice setup, is your storage drawer custom made?This is the setup I've been working on. it's just about done, but have a couple more details to do.
Pull out kitchen/fridge on the right, low storage drawer on the left. For some reason I don't have a picture of the drawer open, and its snowy so I don't want to go outside right now. But it holds my tent/air mattress, camp chair,tarps, large pots/pans, hammock, and a bunch of other stuff. everything except my bulky sleeping bag. Also at the front there's a spot to store the electronics - two small batteries, DC to DC charger and solar control panel and fuse panel. lower half of the kitchen box is the food pantry. and the entire tailgate is cutting board material.
Also the fridge is accessible from the side of the vehicle so you can just open up the softtopper to grab a drink or snack instead of sliding out the whole thing.
I also designed it with the idea one person could sleep on top of the storage box, though unless you're really short you need the tailgate down and a cover over the end, though I intend to sleep on the ground in my tent most of the time. My dog rides on top of it normally.
