Claim:
A tent assembly mountable onto a flat bed truck, said tent assembly comprising: an awning comprising a plurality of tubular support members having rectilinear longitudinal lengths, said awning further including a plurality of couplings for interchangeably conjoining said tubular support members such that said tubular support members define a rigid frame, means for removably securing said frame to a support surface such that said frame can be maintained at a substantially stable position during operating conditions, and a canvas removably positional over said frame for preventing undesirable foreign debris from entering beneath said frame, said canvas being formed from fluid impermeable material and having a plurality of lines of weakness such that said canvas can be readably adapted in such a manner to conform to a shape of said frame, said canvas further having a plurality of lower flange portions extending along a longitudinal length thereof for directing the foreign debris outwardly and away from said frame; an inflatable mattress sized and shaped for nesting on the flat bed of the flat bed truck, said inflatable mattress having a corrugated top surface for providing resilient support and equalizing downward forces exerted thereon during sleeping conditions, said mattress including an inlet port and an outlet port juxtaposed thereto; and means for selectively inflating said mattress such that a user can introduce and displace air from said mattress as needed during periodic use, said inflating means being detachably engageable with said inlet port.
