Tent for Chevy Colorado That Is Transporting Paddle Boards  

Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Rightline SUV tent # RL110907 you referenced is meant for use at the back of an SUV (or a pickup that has a camper shell) where it will sit on the ground and connect to the vehicle when required. This tent can also stand on its own when the vehicle is not present. Please refer to the linked photo to see one used with a pickup.

For a pickup such as your Chevy Colorado if it is equipped with a roof rack and a Thule SUP carrier like their adjustable SUP Shuttle # TH811XT the tent's fit with your SUPs depends on their length.

If you are looking for a tent that can mount on a truck bed ladder rack, such as the Yakima SkyRise # Y07436, at the same time that you have SUPs carried on a cab roof rack, this will again depend on the boards. Any tent that mounts to a roof rack or ladder rack will need most if not all of the rack's weight capacity and usually will also require the majority of the space available on the rack.

Please feel free to tell us more about your setup (such as the truck's model year and bed length) and what you'd like to do and we'll be glad to help you find the best solution.
