I’m looking for an [inflatable truck bed tent](http://www.tentsontrucks.com/airtent.html). I used to see these things for sale everywhere years back. Now that I want one I can’t find one anywhere. Anyone know of where I can find one, or any reason why all of a sudden they are off the market? BTW, I’m specifically looking for the inflatable ones. I already have one with sticks and stakes and such. They are a pain to put up in the dark in the middle of the woods. ---

[font=red]No Longer Available!!![/font=red] 😃 Never seen one before, but looks pretty cool. No idea why someone doesn’t still make one, but that ad you linked to is pretty clear. No Longer Available!!! No Longer Available!!! Okay! You don’t need to yell. ---

The folks over at Expedition Portal may know. They are about all things overland expeditions. Try this: > **[Camping Equipment](https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/camping-equipment.30/)** > > Discussion of ground tents, cooking equipment, etc. Good luck. ---

[Or you could spend hours browsing through similar things at Alibaba](https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/inflatable-truck-tent.html). I’m already thinking of getting [an inflatable truck](https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Inflatable-Vehicle-Military-Decoy-truck-Benz_60410264583.html?spm=a2700.7724857.main07.227.6f23407eJ38VEr)! ---

Watch out for Alibaba. It’s pretty obnoxious. Wanted to send my phone notifications. Then it wanted to invade my home screen. Then it tried to install it’s App. Yikes. that’s one aggressive web site. Amazon sells the item [https://www.amazon.com/Napier-57099-32-Sportz-Truck-Mattress/dp/B007T6SW3U/ref=mp\_s\_a\_1\_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1528299738&sr=8-7&pi=AC\_SX236\_SY340\_FMwebp\_QL65&keywords=inflatable+truck+tent&dpPl=1&dpID=51fqKbtFobL&ref=plSrch](https://www.amazon.com/Napier-57099-32-Sportz-Truck-Mattress/dp/B007T6SW3U/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1528299738&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=inflatable+truck+tent&dpPl=1&dpID=51fqKbtFobL&ref=plSrch) Truck tents sound pretty cool. I had never heard of the product before. Why not get a Camper Shell? You can easily remove it when it’s not needed. I like mine because my camping gear is securely locked up. ---

Here’s a deluxe model. The extended awning would be great on rainy days. You could cook outside dry.

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Why not get a Camper Shell? You can easily remove it when it’s not needed. I like mine because my camping gear is securely locked up. Because a tent I can just fold up and store in the bed. Which is where I keep my current tent. I just would like an inflatable one. They must have heard I want one which is why they aren’t available anymore. > [@aceplace57](#): > > Here’s a deluxe model. The extended awning would be great on rainy days.

But it’s a pain in the nuts to assemble in low light. I want that inflatable one I linked to.
