Here's a shortish video showing setup.. Man it looks like a fiddly process.

LOL, all that electricity in the "truck" and they give you a manual bike pump to inflate the damn thing‽
That looks insane. It's held up by clamping onto the metal flashing of the door, instead of to the frame, the flashing held on by fucking glue. I also love how they show the electric plugs, but you have to use a bicycle pump to inflate.
Indeed it looks really complex, half way through the video I was already lost.
It's crazy not just that you have to manually pump it yourself, but why does it even have a "camping program" that you have to engage? It does nothing other than revealing the tray with the tent gear. There's so many steps involved, why did they think that was the one that required automating?
Doesnt actually look that bad, putting up any tent is usually a fiddly process. But its definitely not intuitive at all. If I were somehow a cyber truck driver and not a dumbass, I would practice setting up and taking down the tent at home first until I got it all figured out. Just as I would with any other new tent.
Fiddly tents? There are now actual tents you can pull out of the bag, you throw it in the air and it will land fully set up.
Yeah, tents these days are way simpler. And often the more expensive ones you're paying for some cool engineering that makes them even simpler.
Especially anything with inflatable ribs! The whole point of the inflatable tents is you inflate them and you're fucking done.
