Heading to Minn from WA state with camping gear, suitcases, and picking up my new 11 ft. Slide in camper. I'd like to keep my gear dry, but I don't want to buy a canopy because I won't be able to take that back with me after the Camper is on the truck. I was considering a tarp, but that would probably leak. Any suggestions? (The entire bed will be filled with stuff, from sleeping bags to kids bikes)

 

I had a similiar problem with a company truck. Took a big peice of cardboard, melted parrafin and coated the top side. I secured it with a bunch of cloth covered shock cord material from Boaters World, one cord over, one cord under all the way down the bed. I think I made up seven cords. Didn't throw anything away. Used the shock cord for other projects, and the parrafined cardboard made an excellent "Creeper"

 

I have run the same type issues on occasion. One suggestion: go to a recycling center where people sell aluminum cans, they sell large thick plastic bags that they use to bundle cans. They make great seal-ups to temp truck bed transport.
