With the smallest closed footprint in the FSR lineup at just 42\" wide by 56.75\" long, it installs cleanly on a below-cab bed rack or on a roof rack — and on a roof rack, it leaves the remaining length free for storage boxes, an extra tie-down space, or whatever else your rig demands. Fold it out and you get a full 82\" of sleeping space — nearly double the packed length — with full Tri-Layer insulation top to bottom and zero support poles required. It's the tent that gets out of its own way. If you want the small footprint and lightweight attributes of a foldout design with the durability of a hard shell, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmallest Closed Footprint in the Lineup:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\" W x 56.75\" L packed.

The 42\" closed width installs on racks where a 50\"+ clamshell would overhang the cab or eat up too much space alongside other roof gear. Deploy it and you have a full-length sleeping platform.
