Sleeping quarters
Hey Guys and gals
One of the reasons I bought my Ex was so I can sleep in it. I do mobile DJ work, and that means festivals. Last year I ended up sleeping in the truck 28 nights. While it works quite well... some nights I'm not done working till 2am. I want to sleep in a little.... lol
I built 2 screens for the rear doors that attach with magnets, and they work pretty well, but an august morning in MN it doesn't take long for the heat to take over the inside.
I've been looking at these:
This would allow me to open those windows, and the back door for more air movement. I could also carry a spare battery and run a 12v fan and a solar charger.
Have any of you folks used or tried one of these tents? The Napier site says it will fit an Ex. Hopefully a 4" lift and 35" tires don't throw that out the window... lol
Thanks!

I did find a review that a guy bought one and used it on his smaller SUV. He then tried it on his F250 that is lifted with 6" and said it was just a bit to tall, but he thinks the "better" model, a step up from this one would work.
I'm not sure how keen I am on spending that kind of money on a tent.... the next step up is $130 more than this one...
This one is 2 steps up...
Humm....

I've been looking at these:
Amazon.com : NAPIER Backroadz SUV Tent, Green/Beige/Grey : Family Tents : Sports & Outdoors
This would allow me to open those windows, and the back door for more air movement. I could also carry a spare battery and run a 12v fan and a solar charger.

Looks cool & if I spent that many nights in the truck I'd do it for sure. If the lift proved to tall you could just put down a platform to raise the tent a few inches.. Maybe even use a king size air mattress underneath
