Sportz Tents are warranted to the original owner to be free of manufacturer defects and workmanship for one (1) year from the original purchase date.
Sportz tents are as easy to set up as a normal camping tent. They come complete with assembly instructions and color coded poles for easy assembly. The first set up will take you 15 to 20 minutes (25 for the guys who don’t read instructions), after that it should take 10 minutes.
One person is able to set up a Sportz tent; however we do recommend you set it up with a buddy the first set up.
Sportz tents do have a water resistant coating on them. The coating may wear down over time therefore you may want to spray a water repellent coating on to the tent and rain fly after a few years of use. We recommend using McNett Thunder Shield silicon water repellent. You can use a footprint to help protect the tent’s floor. The footprint should be a few inches smaller than your tent’s floor so it does trap water between the footprint and the floor. For extra water protection, full-length rain flies are available as an accessory for Sportz SUV Tents.
Unfortunately the Sportz Truck Tents do not currently fit a Ridgeline or Ford Flare side trucks.
Yes, while the Sportz tents’ rain flies are seam sealed, the tents seams themselves are not seam sealed. We highly recommend you seam seal the seams before using the tent as water may penetrate the needle holes in the fabric. Water coming through the needle holes along the seams is common with tents and is not a manufacturer’s defect.
Measure your truck bed from the back of the truck cab to where the tailgate begins. DO NOT INCLUDE THE TAILGATE IN THE MEASUREMENTS. Cross reference with the sizing chart available in the product menu.
NO, it may cause personal injury or damage to yourself and your truck.
Yes, the tent will fit with a sprayed or prefabricated liner.
No, the tent does not work with a hinged slant-slide cover; the tonneau cover will have to be removed before the tent can be used.
No, roll bars must be removed in order for the tent to fit snuggly on the truck bed.
Yes, we recommend placing the tent over the whole toolbox to minimize the amount of rain that can enter between the toolbox and the tent. If you have a metal toolbox make sure the corners are not sharp as it may rip the tent fabric.
Yes, if the railings are less than 3” tall. Any other railings would have to be removed or the tent will not fit properly.
This is not possible, but the Sportz Truck Tent III does have a sleeve for cords to go from inside the tent to inside the cab of the truck.
No, the vehicle sleeve has two fabric flaps on the inside that allows you to seal any minor gaps that many occur in the vehicle sleeve due to the shape/curve of your vehicle. If you are extremely concerned, you can use magnets on the flaps to secure it to your vehicle however it is not necessary.
The vehicle sleeves on the SUV tents have an elastic portion, which allows you to place the sleeve around the back of the SUV or minivan. There are adjustable straps to ensure that the sleeve fits snugly around the vehicle.
If your vehicle has barn doors we recommend the larger model SUV Tents such as the Sportz SUV 81000 or the Sportz SUV 83000 with detachable screen room. For safety reasons, we recommend that the doors remain closed while you are sleeping.
Yes, providing the circumference around the truck and cap is not more than 24’.
