ABSTRACT:
A tent assembly which may be attached to the sidewalls of a pickup truck bed or alternatively anchored to the ground includes a plurality of frame members each with a V-shaped roof support and a pair of opposing side arms vertically extending therefrom. The side arms are attached to the V-shaped roof supports with a hinge on one side and a slide lock mechanism on an opposing side so that they may be selectively pivoted in either direction relative to the roof supports. The V-shaped roof supports are likewise collapsible using a hinge. The vertices of the roof shaped supports are interconnected using hingedly engaging beams each with a centrally located hinge so that a frame member may be easily stacked against an adjacent frame member even with the beam attached thereto. The frame members are received within sleeves integral with a tent member. Each end wall of the tent member has a plurality of separable seams providing several different access openings. The endwalls and sidewalls of the tent member have rain guards extending therefrom for preventing moisture from leaking therein.
