The Napier Backroadz Truck Tent is a versatile outdoor shelter designed to be set up in the bed of a pickup truck, offering a convenient camping solution. It is suitable for various outdoor activities, providing a comfortable and elevated sleeping area away from the ground.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Napier Backroadz Truck Tent is to provide a sheltered and elevated sleeping and living space for campers. By utilizing the truck bed, it keeps users off the cold, wet ground and away from potential critters. The tent is designed for easy setup and takedown, making it ideal for road trips, fishing, hunting, or any adventure where a truck is present. It transforms the truck bed into a secure and weather-protected enclosure, allowing users to camp almost anywhere their truck can go. The tent features a main sleeping area and a rainfly for added weather protection.

Important Technical Specifications:

The tent comes with a set of poles, each color-coded for specific placement:

• Black Poles (2): 144.5" - 166.5" in length, used for corner-to-corner support on the roof.
• Green Pole (1): 76" - 89" in length, used for front-to-back support on the roof.
• Grey Pole (1): 145.6" - 150" in length, used for side-to-side support at the front (tailgate) of the tent.

The tent fabric is flame-resistant and meets CPAI-84 specifications, though it is important to note that this does not make it fireproof. The fabric will burn if left in contact with any flame source, and the application of foreign substances may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.

Usage Features:

• Campsite Selection: Users should select a smooth, level campsite free of rocks, branches, or other sharp objects. It's also advised to avoid areas with overhead power lines and tree limbs. The vehicle should be parked in the chosen campsite with the engine off and the parking brake engaged.
• Easy Assembly: The tent is designed for a relatively straightforward setup. For easier assembly, the manual suggests setting the tent up on the ground first, completing steps 1-3 (laying the tent flat in the truck bed, attaching side straps, and attaching tailgate straps) last.
• Color-Coded Poles: The tent poles are color-coded (Black, Green, Grey) to correspond with specific sleeves and pockets on the tent, simplifying the assembly process.
• Tailgate Pole Placement: A crucial usage note emphasizes ensuring the grey tailgate pole is set up on the outside of the tailgate wires. Setting it up inside the wires can create too much tension and cause the pole to break.
• Rainfly: A separate rainfly is included for enhanced weather protection. It features a black "Backroadz" tag to indicate the front, which goes over the door. The rainfly attaches to the tent with strap clips.
• Gear Loft: The tent includes a gear loft, which can be installed by placing its corner hooks into loops located on the ceiling of the tent, providing convenient overhead storage.
• Ventilation: The manual stresses the importance of allowing adequate ventilation inside the tent at all times.
• Safety Warnings: Several critical safety warnings are provided:
  • Do not use candles, matches, or open flames inside or near the tent.
  • Do not cook inside the tent.
  • Build campfires downwind and several meters away, ensuring they are fully extinguished.
  • Exercise extreme caution with fuel-powered lanterns or heaters; battery-operated lanterns are recommended.
  • Do not refuel lamps, heaters, or stoves inside the tent.
  • Extinguish or turn off all lanterns before sleeping.
  • Do not smoke inside the tent.
  • Do not store flammable liquids inside the tent.
  • NEVER run the vehicle engine when the tent is attached to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the tent area.
  • Do not install the tent when temperatures are below 0°C/32°F or when the vehicle is wet, as it may cause damage.
  • Do not attempt to drive the vehicle with the tent attached.
  • The engine must be off and exhaust fully cooled before tent installation and use.

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning and Drying: After use, the tent must be cleaned and thoroughly dried before storage to prevent mold and mildew.
• Folding and Rolling: The components should be folded into the tent, and then the tent should be rolled using the pole bag as a guide.
• Securing and Storage: The rolled tent should be secured with the included tie straps and inserted into the carrying bag. It should then be stored in a cool, dry place.
• Warranty: Napier tents come with a one (1) year warranty against defects in improper workmanship from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, seam leakage through needle holes, or improper use, abuse, or alteration. Napier Outdoors will replace or repair defective parts, with replacements potentially being new or re-built.
• Replacement Parts: E-Warranty claim forms can be completed online at www.napieroutdoors.com/warranty. Proof of purchase (receipt) is required for warranty claims. If the warranty period has ended or proof of purchase is unavailable, replacement parts can be purchased by contacting Napier Outdoors at 800-567-2434 (9:00 am – 5:00 pm EST), visiting www.napieroutdoors.com, or emailing customerservice@napieroutdoors.com.
