This was very easy and quick to put together and install in my truck bed. I bought the Granville II w/Awning for the 6.5 foot bed and it fit perfectly. Before the tent arrived I watched the assembly video on the Granville website which was very helpful because it recommended putting the tent structure together on the ground and then 2 person lifting it into the truck. I recommend putting the rainfly on while its on the ground because it becomes quite the undertaking to do while on the pickup. I had to learn this the hard way when I did a trial set up in my driveway the week before camping. My girlfriend helped me lift the tent into the truck and then had to leave and despite my best solo efforts using step stools and ladders I could not get the rainfly over the tent. In the end I gave up trying but not before I lost my balance exiting off the tailgate and ended up breaking an awning support pole. Which by the way I contacted Off Roading Gear (the sellers of my Granville II), and John my service representative was incredibly helpful in my pursuit to purchase a replacement pole for the awning. In the end he created a trouble ticket for me and he performed magic and got me a replacement pole in the mail within days. Incredible helpful, thank you John!
This tent is so easy to put together and even easier if you do a test set up at your residence prior to taking it camping. Our setup time at the camp site took maybe 10 minutes (again I recommend putting your rainfly on, on the ground). We camped over Veteran's Day weekend in the SC mountains and the overnight temps fell into the low/mid 30's. We knew the forecast prior to our weekend and decided against purchasing a propane heater and chose a combination of sleeping bags and blankets. We also purchased the Pittman Outdoors AirBedz Lite PPI PV202C Full Size, Short 6'-6.5' Truck Bed Air Mattress with DC Corded Pump (76"x63"x12" Inflated),Green,Full Size Beds and it fit perfectly (no gaps in my 2021 F-150 truck bed. I placed a moving blanket under the airbed and another one under the fitted sheet to help insulate us from the cool air that would build up in the air mattress. It worked perfectly, at no point did we feel any discomfort from a cold airbed. In fact even with the cool night air the Granville II held temperature inside perfectly. Obviously we had moisture buildup on the inside of the tent, (but nothing bad) and kept an overnight temperature inside the tent extremely pleasant.
I would recommend the Granville II to anyone, and we are already planning our second camping trip with it after the holidays. I hope this and my pictures are helpful to anyone considering this product. Happy camping to you all!
