Very easy setup, even on the truck itself. Getting in on the truck was harder, lol. The mesh part is already attached to the poles and cot. The rain fly is very snug so unzipping main door helps to get it to fit. There is a posted video on the setup.

Got this to test it out. A tad too long with my cover hardware. Want to make a foamie wedged shaped truck bed camper similar to this so got this to explore the usefulness of the smaller sized tent. Very comfortable cot for a tent and mesh inside kept bugs out. Had rain last week so lots of mosquitoes.
I can’t really tell do you have the soft folding or the rollup cover? I have the folding mode. To take it off you just loosen the two turnbuckle type screws and it’s off.
is the tent against the front of the truck box?
i don’t understand why the tent doesn’t sit flat in the box?

There is at least 2 more inches tent should slide forward. The cab side cross piece for the roll up cover plus the lowest support tube is blocking the cot tent from reaching the inside of the truck bed. There is some play in the legs so it might be possible to ratchet back those tailgate legs an inch as is. Next weekend I plan to remove bed cover and retake pictures.
