RELATED: The Best Travel Trailers You CAn Buy For The Cost of a Kia The Rightline SUV is an 8-foot by 8-foot tent that sleeps 4 and attaches directly to the back of “any SUV, minivan, crossover, wagon, Jeep Wrangler hard top, or pick-up truck with cab.” All you do is set it up like any other tent, back your vehicle up to the side opening (rear hatch or barn door, doesn’t matter), and attach the extension straps to both the windshield wipers (over the top) and to points inside. That’s it, all done. No expensive camper or trailer tent required. Kids sleep in the back of the SUV, parents in the tent. Everybody has easy access to the power outlets so you can pretend you never left the house. In terms of accouterment, the Rightline SUV equipped with glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls, a lantern hanging hook, and 2 gear pockets, as well as “no-see-um mesh and storm covers.” Even better, remember the puddle-filled-tent described above? That’s not happening with the Rightline, thanks to its bathtub floor. You don’t even need a ground tarp under this tent. Nor will you and your wife have to ask the kids if you can climb into bed with them when it starts raining. Just this once, promise. Finally, if you’re one of those families that gets after the outdoor adventure, the Rightline SUV tent easily detaches (and zips up) so you can have access to your vehicle during the day. In fact, it straight works as a standalone tent too, assuming you don’t mind a good rain-soaked run back to your Carolla. Buy Now $238
