My mobile camping setup

This is the third version of my truck camp. I can set it up in about 5 minutes. The frame is built out of pvc pipes and fittings. I cover the frame with a tarp that is silver on one side and brown on the other. The silver reflect the light inside the shelter. It is tall enough inside that I can move around without touching the tarp; the tarp doesn't breath so it collects condensation, which drips when touched. Between the lantern and my sleeping bag I stay toasty warm.

That looks good. I’m very minimal: I have memory foam cushions stuffed in an old sleeping bag to make a “mattress,” and it’s in the back of my SUV. It’s a great, comfortable place for a nap or a night.

I cannot stand straight up, but I can bend over and move around quite easily. I have been brain storming for a vent idea that would not require cutting the tarp. I am heading out again tomorrow and I am going to try propping open a couple spots.

I wonder if one of them could be pulled by a motorcycle.
Camping in that has got to be better than in a tent.
Looks cool,
