Vehicle tent

A roof top tent system, comprising:

• a frame assembly coupleable with a bed of a truck comprising a lower frame portion and an upper frame portion;
• a platform assembly coupled with the frame assembly, comprising:
• an upper platform portion;
• a lower platform portion coupleable with the upper frame portion of the frame assembly along a first end portion of the lower and upper platform portions;
• and
• a platform hinge configured to hingedly couple the lower platform portion with the upper platform portion so that the upper platform portion can rotate between a first position in which the upper platform portion is substantially parallel to and adjacent to the lower platform portion and a second position in which the upper platform portion extends at a nonzero degree angle away from the lower platform portion;
• a cover covering at least the upper platform portion and extending from the upper platform portion to the lower platform portion to form an openable enclosure between the upper and lower platform portions;
• and
• a removable accessory track coupleable with the frame assembly, and
• wherein the lower frame portion comprises a first side member, a second side member, and a first end member made from extruded aluminum and the upper frame portion comprises a first side member, second side member, a first end member, and a second end member made from extruded aluminum.

A method of expanding a collapsible roof top tent system, comprising:

• rotating an upper platform portion about a hinge from a first position in which the upper platform portion is adjacent to a lower platform portion to a second position in which the upper platform portion is rotated away from the lower platform portion to expand an interior space of the roof top tent system;
• and
• supporting the upper platform portion in the second position to at least inhibit the upper platform portion from rotating back from the second position to the first position;
• wherein:
• the hinge comprises a first hinge member and a second hinge member, wherein the first hinge member comprises a plurality of teeth configured to mesh with and rotate about a plurality of teeth of the second hinge member as the upper platform portion is rotated relative to the lower platform portion.
