When you're uncomfortable sleeping in the backcountry, the side of a motocross track, or wherever your adventures might take you, the next day's ride will always be worse. Think about it, your sleep affects everything you do. And sleeping in a tent on the hard, cold ground can make for a trash following morning, as your neck is still, your back's shot, and you're groggier than I was when my kids were still infants.
No amount of coffee or energy drinks are going to change that, either. I know. I've tried. Learn from my failures and experiences.
That's why I felt like my Can-Am's rooftop tent was such a game-changer. And even adding the Hest Foamy bettered it still, as it insulated me more, provided some much-needed padding, and kept me away from the hail, rain, and cold of the 10,000-foot elk woods. But rooftop tents have their drawbacks, too, as they aren't as insulated as a camper. Likewise, you tend to lose carrying space, whether it's on a side-by-side like mine, or using a truck. Routinely, gone is your truck's bed.
