ABSTRACT:
A tent enclosure for use with a pickup truck having an open cargo bed, upstanding side walls, and a rigid, flat tonneau cover pivotally connected near a front end of the upstanding side walls, comprising a one-piece flexible covering having a main sleeve section, two side sections, and a rear section extending from the sleeve section along the side and rear edges thereof, respectively. The sleeve section comprises a pair of opposed fabric panels affixed together along the side and rear edges thereof to form an interior compartment for receiving the tonneau cover. The tent enclosure is supported in its raised condition by inserting the tonneau cover into the interior compartment of the sleeve section, and supporting the tonneau cover in an inclined position with two support poles placed between the tonneau cover and the cargo bed of the truck. The side sections are lowered and secured to the truck by means of a plurality of elastic cords with hooks extending downward from the side sections. The rear section is pulled down, wrapped around the truck's tailgate, and joins together with the side sections to form a tent enclosure.
