The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk truck cover?

Another issue to consider is the bed area. If you use a full cover and the truck is not under a hard roof or tarp tent, how do you prevent the truck cover to not sag down into the bed and start collecting rain water?

I made a quick install frame made out of pvc pipe which I first install into the bed, with it running down the middle. Then I install the cover. The frame helps support the cover into a somewhat Teepee shape. So if it rains, the water runs off the sides instead of collecting in the bed.

Now that the truck is stored under a tarp tent, I don't use the cover so much and especially the cover support.
