(bristle) Why stop with a tent? Sleep in motels. Trade the truck for a Prius, or bicycle. Just stay home for that matter. It's a slippery slope that risks more to do with lifestyle preferences. I promise to start a truck camper project thread, eventually. Folks can bash it (or the personal decisions behind it if they really feel they must) at that point. Meanwhile, it seems this discussion needs some course correction.
Bondo's link to the '03 NPS thesis was a wonderful contribution to this thread. If you know of other literature, ideally R&D work, that sheds more light on the wake field of pickups, please share it.
Thank you, everyone!
