My dad always called these “camper shells” so I grew up associating them to camping.
I acknowledge how useful they are, but man it really is nice to easily throw the bikes in the back, etc
Agree 100%. We rock a topper (shell) on our F-150 tow vehicle. Camping gear, folding bicycles, inflatable paddleboards, etc, all go in there, protected from weather and theft. This is me picking up our new-to-us Rockwood Geo Pro just yesterday!
Took me a second before I realized you were talking about the truck bed’s cap. I thought you installed an awning on your truck! ????
How do I make that work with my 5th wheel?
Yep I have one on my truck and it’s a god send for clothes and snacks when we go on our trips.
Remember though, it adds a few hundred pounds to the payload, so you’ll want to account for that when you are calculating the tongue weight and the combined weight of passengers and all that stuff you put in the truck bed.
I only stay away because of payload!
