When I was kid just growing up, my family of 4 traveled all over Colorado using an overhead camper. That camper is still ready to go and has worn out four 3/4 ton pickups.

Now that I am all grown up, I can't fit into the overhead campers anymore. So now I rely on a tent but having spent far too many nights on the ground, I shopped around and found that there are "high tech" tents that custom fit into the bed of a pickup. I just put the tent up in a few short minutes and then use the 12 volt plug in to quickly inflate a queen size air mattress and I am set for the night.

One thing I like to take advantage of is the space that I can still use to transport provisions (beer, meat and 'taters) in the truck bed on the way out to the prospects and then fill up the truck bed with ore for the trip back home. Here's a photo of my current set-up;

If I can find a beer truck to modify like this, I'll give it a try for next season!

Sincerely,
