Review on 🚚 JoyTutus Orange Pickup Truck Tent: Waterproof, Double Layer, Portable for 2 People – Ideal Camping Companion, 5.5'-6' Bed by Bubba Baldwin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I wanted

I was excited to receive this tent to use on the back of my truck. Fast delivery and it came out of the box looking great. I decided to put it together in garage to make sure I understood and it was fairly simple. Little of adjusting back and forth to get the rods evenly spaced, but not tough at all. Put it on the truck and it was a pretty good fit, not perfect, but good. Strapped down fairly easily although around the tailgate took some getting used to. Roomy inside, flaps seemed to seal well, decent height, and I didn’t feel like it was going to blow away off my truck.I left it in my garage overnight and then took it down in preparation for going camping. That’s when I found the issue. The little nylon pockets where the rod ends rest. The two in the back toward the cab of the truck were looking like they were going to break. I immediately started thinking about reinforcing them somehow, then realized if it’s doing this on a test run, how fast is this going to wear out and break? I’m guessing I’d have to buy another tent once a year or slightly more. At this price, it’s not worth buying yearly-ish. I think if the company makes the nylon rod end holders more durable, this would be great.I debated whether to get a replacement, but decided to try another brand so I started the return process. The company reached out to me and were really nice + concerned about the issue. I sent them pictures. They offered to replace, but I already have another brand being shipped. If I have problems with the other tent, I may give this unit another try. Maybe I just got an "off” unit, but there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the nylon. Maybe too much pressure on it. I was going to give a little less stars, but the customer service was surprisingly good and overall the tent met all my needs except durabilityUpdate: Customer service reached out to me and, even after I was refunded, wanted to try to make things right. They ended up shipping me another unit for me to try. I can’t say enough how impressed I am with the support received. They were very pleasant throughout and only wanted to help me.I tried the new unit and it did not have the same issue with the nylon pockets. I’m glad that turned out to be unusual. I’ve now used the tent 4 times and it’s great. Good fit on my truck. The only issue I’ve noticed over time is the liner is a tad thin. It’s already starting to show a couple minor pinpoint holes. It’s a good tent though. Definitely adding a star back and would recommend, especially if you can catch it on sale!

I sealed the seams and waterproofed the exterior fabric of the tent. The poles seem like they will break so be extra careful when installing them. Otherwise it worked for my Chevy Silverado with a 6'' bed + tailgate
