Kodiak Canvas Truck Tent
The Kodiak Canvas truck tent uses a high ceiling and sturdy design. The tent fits most short bed trucks with the tailgate down. The canvas material is waterproof and more durable than the common nylon tent shells. It is also heavier and requires more space for storage. The ceiling is 5 feet high and the five windows allow sunlight to enter. It uses several clamps and straps to secure the poles and canvas to the truck bed and the interior has two gear pockets. The tent is similar to a wall tent in construction and it has high user reviews from Cabelas.com customers.
