ABSTRACT:
A tent to be quickly and easily attached to or removed from the rear of a motor vehicle (e.g. a pick-up truck) having a substantially flat and open bed. The tent includes a frame comprising a pair of pole assemblies that extend diagonally and cross one another above the bed of the truck. The tent also includes front, back and side panels and belts which extend laterally through channels in the front and back panels and down the sides of the truck to be removably connected to the undercarriage thereof. A pair of cup-like receptacles are slidably attached to each of the belts. The cups are adjustably positioned along the belts to receive respective ends of the pole assemblies which form the tent frame. Accordingly, the weight of the frame and the tent carried thereon is supported by the cups and the belts retained by the front and back tent panels so that the tent may be suspended above the bed without requiring any permanent connections to or modifications of the truck.
