I wonder what it does exactly. It seems redundant to me that there are two different settings for braking force. I remember wondering about it when I set the trailer up on the truck to begin with, but then forgot to research it further.
Well, I think I found the perfect cover. It's just like Steve's Truxedo Titanium but with a few tweaks. It locks all along the sides instead of using velcro. The tailgate can be closed with the tonneau already locked down so that kills that bug I had. And, it's rails sit almost flat with the truck's bedrails so I don't have to worry about loosing 5th wheel to bed rail clearance. Winner.

Just ordered it Tom. I chatted with a rep who helped with the price a bit too. $855 delivered. It's like the best of your cover combined with Steve's. Low profile, doesn't take 3" on either side of the bed, full metal core, no velcro sides. The only downside is how it looks rolled and that it blocks about 9" of your rear view while it's open. However, the only time it's open much is while towing so no effect there.

Looks like a winner, Rodney. I watched the video and it is "almost" identical to the Titanium, with the exceptions you already mentioned. I'll be anxious to see how it works out. It's curious to me that, in all of the research I did before buying mine, I never saw this one.
There are good reasons for not getting a Jackrabbit - such as needing the space with a short bed. As you know, mine is the long bed, so not as big of a deal. I do like the one you've selected though and will likely go this route when I replace my antique in a couple of years.
I enjoy seeing the mod pics. My mods aren't so much for luxury at this point, but more for being road ready. I swung by the RV dealer today on my way to work to pick up a new set of tail lights - housings, lenses and all, for both sides. If it would ever cool off a bit, I would love to get started on this thing. I need to have several things done by mid-September, and prefer to get started sooner rather than later.
