I suspect (but cannot be sure) that this tent would work fine with a soft, roll up cover.Have one for my Silverado.
Pro: well designed and fits well. Gets you off the ground. Many aftermarket inflatable mattresses will fit inside, some with wheel well cutouts.
Con: more difficult to assemble and attach than a regular ground tent. pricey. cannot use your truck with this erected.
Overall: I think it is worth the extra dollars and time to be elevated and comfortable. My daughter uses every year at a music festival and loves it.
Whaaaaat?!? This is a thing offered from Chevy?!

Anyone tried this guy out or know who makes it for them? For $270, I can get a whole lot of tent from REI.
I know this may be a long dead thread, but I just got one of these and use it on my 2016 Z71 Trail Boss DuraMax. It's great. I posted about it over on the coloradofans forum: http://coloradofans.com/forums/#/topics/360018Have one for my Silverado.

So much wantView attachment 6441 I like the rooftop tent setup...
Ya man, love the RTT. Feels like you are sleeping in a treehouse. We just throw it on for certain trips...View attachment 6441 I like the rooftop tent setup...
Right on man. Hope you post some photos of your build. I’ll be looking for a rack like that in the future. Keep the camper shell setup for certain things and a lower rack with the RTT for others.I'm building a rack right now so top of RTT is flush with the cab. They catch a ton of wind if above, but of course if you have a canopy its gotta go on top.
That truck just keeps getting better looking all the time Atomizer!
