The heat of the summer has passed, and it’s time for colder temperatures and changing leaves. While summer is the peak of the camp season, fall camping also has a lot to offer. With colorful views and chillier weather, it has the potential to be the perfect months to spend time outdoors. Let’s take a look at some great gear to stock up on before your next fall trip.

As we head into fall, the weather is more variable. It may be best to find alternatives to traditional tent camping to avoid sleeping on the damp, cold ground. The Rightline Truck Tent elevates your fall camping experience. Setting up camp is easy, and the floorless design offers a way for you to keep your belongings inside the truck bed while assembling the tent. Complete with gear pockets, an overhead lantern hook, and glow in the dark zipper pulls, you’ll camp with ease as the nights get longer. 
The Rightline Truck Tent comes in a variety of sizes to fit your truck’s bed. Find out more about the Truck Tent here.  If you own an SUV instead, check out the SUV Tents available that best fit your favorite adventure vehicle.

The canopy is easy to set up, and can be secured using included sand bags. The SUV Canopy is the best way to shade or shield your campsite from the variable fall conditions.
