Review on Optimized for SEO: Rightline Gear Full-Size Short Truck Bed Tent 5.5-ft by Kevin Ballard

Revainrating 1 out of 5

cheap cheap cheap zippers

Happy Father's Day -- NO! I received this item today for Father's Day and decided to fit it on my new F250. I had a truck tent NOT of this model for my F150 which I exchanged. Never had a problem with it. I got this because it has no floor and you wouldn't have to take your camping gear out of the truck to set up the tent. That's why I bought this one. I should have known straight away that this was a cheap tent (orange raincoat), whoever designed this tent is obviously not a campervan. But back to the ultimate reason it comes back in less than 2 hours of possession. After a leisurely tent pitch in my driveway (that's why you test every piece of gear you buy - you don't play with it, you test it before you go into the field). I tried to close the tent. I had no intention of doing this, but I decided it was better to do everything. Fastening material is cheap! Why not put quality YKK zippers on this thing? The zippers broke and didn't work. What's the use if I'm in trouble and my zippers come undone even if I don't use this thing. That tells me that zippers and other materials don't last long. Even if the tent is stored, it will not last for several seasons. Very disappointed with this low quality product. I can't return the item fast enough!

Pros
  • SLEEP UNDER THE STARS: Sky view hole offers more light, better visibility and ventilation.
Cons
  • Big and Bulky
