Here's a couple photos of it set up out in the wild and a picture of the drawer. I'm in the hills somewhere between Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake at 7400 ft and it's in the 30s up here. I slept pretty well but what the heck? It's July! LOLl I made a setup video too. I'll put that here when I get home to edit it and put in some captions

Here is my latest and hopefully final step in making it quick, easy, and comfortable to camp in my Maverick. This is a used, smaller, folding roof top tent from Facebook Marketplace. I got a pretty good deal on it because the soft cover was a little damaged and there was a little mold. For how I am using it, I do not really need the cover anyway.

This tent is/was probably a little too wide, by about 1/4". It is tricky getting it around the striker rods for the tailgate when folding and unfolding it. Luckily the ladder is so long that it makes a good third hand, holding the tent partially open, as you make sure it is not catching on the tailgate parts or the tonneau cover mounting hardware.

Even though the soft cover was a little damaged, It would have still kept some dust out. It was just too difficult to pull it over the tent with so little room between the tent and the bed sides. I took the cover off. I'm probably going to find some sort of tailgate seal kit to help keep the dust out.

There is about a 6" gap under the tent. I'm going to build a big pull out drawer out of 2x6s and plywood to go under it.

I am not entirely sure what model this tent is. When I asked the seller about the model name for the purpose of confirming dimensions, he said this specific model is discontinued.
