I'm telling you, you will be glad you got the camper shell vs getting the bed cover. Make sure it has locks and tinted windows because of people with sticky fingers though.

I have the padded carpet kit in my other truck. It's a dodge cummins and with an external roof rack. It's bad ***! If you go to DMV and state that it is a livable area you can save $200ish off your yearly reg. I was told to put a sleeping bag and stuff in there for the inspection. You will also get new plates. It will have 3 letters vs 1. That's what the DMV rep told me in person. With it being $570ish a year it is something to consider if you already have a camper.
