Maverick Zion - living in my Maverick for past 2 months traveling CA, NV, UT using Kamp-Rite Double Tent Cot

[lumonix]

I’ve been living in my Maverick for the past 2 months. Travelling California, Nevada and Utah.

Love the truck. Only wishlist item would be AWD for hybrid.

This is a hybrid XLT, no AWD. Standard tires (I'm burning through them before getting some off-roady). I've gotten stuck in sand a few times

Kamprite double cot. Not sure if it would fit someone above 6”. I’m 5.11. Fit fine, but not that much room left.

This tent also has a “lounge chair” mode. But yes, the double version of the tent takes up most of the bed. There is also a single version that takes up half.

Another option is to sleep in the truck bed and create a “foot box”.
I used a weather proof cover for outdoor furniture and cut of some excess fabric.
I rarely sleep that way though. Only if I arrive somewhere too late and don’t want to setup the tent.

is this an AWD?

This looks like a dream come true! I'm quite jealous of your adventure.

Can't wait for mine to finally get delivered and I can start looking at some potential camping set ups.

Whats your tent set up in the back? I want to try camping out the back but I'm 6'2 and the bed would barely be 6' with the tailgate now.

Great set up.

I've been eyeing that as a poor man's roof top tent option. Can you provide a side shot? Does the tent width take up the entire bed length?

Looks to be an issue with Safari and the codecs for the video. Just checked on my Mac - same issue on mobile or Mac Safari. Unfortunately the only work around is another browser.
