Description

CROSS REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATION This application is a non-provisional application that claims priority under 35U.S.C. § 119 to China application number CN202510677509.8, filing date May 23, 2025, wherein the entire content of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION Field of Invention The present invention relates to camping tent, and more particularly to an inflatable easy setup camping tent for pickup truck. Description of Related Arts A camping tent is a portable and temporary shelter widely used for outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, backpacking, or camping. In addition, a camping tent designed for use on a pickup truck addresses multiple limitations of traditional ground tents and offers practical benefits for outdoor enthusiasts, overlanders, and travelers. The demand for such tents arises from the growing need for comfort, mobility, and safety in outdoor camping. The conventional camping tent is generally made of fabric stretched over poles or frames. During the setup process, threading poles through long, narrow sleeves can take significantly much time since alignment must be precise, or poles can get stuck midway. Poles may snag, bend, or break during insertion if sleeves are tight or if excessive force is used. Friction between the sleeve fabric and the pole can make sliding difficult. Sleeves can flap or twist in the wind, making it harder to align and insert poles. In addition, single-person setup can be awkward and difficult. SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION The invention is advantageous in that it provides an easy setup camping tent which can be convenient to setup by inflating an inflatable support assembly to cause a tent body to be automatically unfolded for camping. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent which can be used on a ground. Particularly, the camping tent can be used on a truck bed to keep the user elevated, so as to offer a cleaner, drier, and safer camping environment, and the user can set up camp anywhere their vehicle can go, without the need to find flat, clear ground, so that it is ideal for road trips, remote camping, and overlanding, where traditional campsites may not be available. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent, wherein the easy setup camping tent can be fitted and conformed to the truck bed, so as to deliver a clean, custom-fit look while maximizing comfort and functionality. The side walls of the truck bed will retain the camping tent in position. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent, wherein a floor of the tent body is formed with two protruding portions which are capable of accommodating two raised wheel wells on the bed of the pickup truck, so that the contoured bottom surfaces of the two protruding portions help the tent body anchor more securely, minimizing lateral movement or shifting during use. In addition, with such conforming configuration, a better seal between the tent body and the truck bed prevents rainwater or wind from entering through gaps caused by uneven surfaces. With designated areas for the wheel wells, the tent body is also easier to align and position correctly during installation. The user does not have to guess or manually adjust the floor to fit awkwardly around the raised wheel wells. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent which is designed not only to prevent water from accumulating on its top and bottom surfaces as well as to effectively block water from entering the interior of the tent body. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent, wherein once inflated, the inflatable support assembly forms a pressurized structure that is rigid and resilient, capable of withstanding strong gusts of wind without collapsing or deforming. This enhances safety and stability during adverse weather conditions. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent which is equipped with an air pressure monitoring valve that automatically releases excess pressure when inflating, so as to ensure that the inflatable frame will not be overinflated. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent, wherein the tent body has dedicated air conditioning inlet and outlet ports, allowing for seamless connection to an external air conditioning unit for enhanced climate control inside the tent body. Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an easy setup camping tent, wherein the top of the tent slopes downward in the direction towards the front of the pickup truck, which helps reduce wind resistance and also prevents rainwater from accumulating on the roof surface. Additional advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, and may be realized by
