CW tonneau covers
Has anyone bought a tonneau cover from Camping World and have them install it?

I bought mine from Chevrolet when I bought the truck. It is a roll up, with bows. Takes about 5 minutyes to install/unistall. I really like it, because when I am towing I can roll it up against the cab, tie it with the velcro, nest the bows, tie them with velcro, lay themin the front bay of the monty or in the bed and I'm all reaady to go. When on it protects the fifth wheel, and the tool box. and keeping things out of sight, keeps them out of mind for thieves.

I just checked CW's web site but was unable to find one. I was unaware that they even sold them. The one I have, Truxedo, is similar to Rick's execpt that the bows are attached to the underside of the cover and roll up with it. I had the original Truxedo on my 03 and just had the Low Profile installed on my 08 yesterday. I had no problems with the one on my 03 and would highly recommend the Truxedo.

We picked up a new catalog when we went to do the PDI on our Montana. They have 3 styles.

I just had a fold-a-cover installed yesterday. When closed it is more secure than a vinyl cover. I haven't towed with it yet but it should be well out of the way.

As Dave indicated there is a negative side.. We have the fold-a-cover and with the louvered tail gate you can not lock it. It does allow dirt in as the bed of our truck and everything in it is now Arizona beige. When you are parked and the wind is from the rear our Fold-a cover will billow..It think with a strong enough wind it would rip it of the truck.. I would still get the louvered tail gate because sooner or later I would back through the OEM gate....however..I would NOT get the Fold- A- Cover again. "... We made this post on another topic regards the Fold-A-Cover...Also when folded up in the towing mode I doubt that you will be able to see your hitch to hook unless you have a very long neck. The Fold-A-Cover is a very good product but has not worked out for us. OH..The OEM Keys are soft and break very easy and they cost 7.00 from the company..(much less from ACE hardware)Hopefully it will not break off in the lock.Oh..Make sure you keep the rubber cover on the locks or Ice, Snow, rain will collect in the lock and it will jam//keep it lubricated. Oh..watch how you open it and fold it back ...be gentle..you can bend the cover...

I second the vote for the Truxedo. Great product, installs in about 30 minutes, lifetime warranty. Can't beat it. I got the best price from www.truckcandy.com and you can check out the tonneau at www.truxedo.com. Mines the original, high profile so I can leave the hitch in the truck most of the time.

I will pipe in here and say I love the Truxedo as well. Not the right place for this. But, I happen to have a new still in the box original style navy blue one if you are interested in it Rich. I ordered the low profile version and got a original one by mistake and they wouldn't let me return it. So I went ahead and ordered the low profile one anyway and have tried to sell this one locally. PM me if interested.

Camping World in Syracuse wouldn't say who the manufacturer was nor did they have any to show.
We went to another place to see the roll up type. We thought you could roll it up as far or as little as you want. Not so. Either it covers the whole bed or you roll it back the whole way. Now we are looking into fold a covers.
We want to carry some things in the bed of the truck, but don't want them to get wet if it's raining.
