Abstract
An easily removable tent topper designed to be installed on a truck bed when needed and be road worthy at highway speeds. The tent topper comprises a plurality of roll bar shaped assemblies and a tent. The tent has openings therein at preselected locations which permit the tent to engage a plurality of adjustable pins, the pins being part of the roll bar shaped assemblies. These pins, with their associated adjustment knobs, permit stretching or making taut the tent. Furthermore, the tent topper can be easily removed, disassembled, and stored in the truck cab behind the seat, as many truck owners do not like to permanently affix camper-type shells on their truck beds.
