Retrax bed cover

[wdhigh]

Anyone using a Retrax cover?

Wondering about leaks. For the price I don’t expect leaks, that being said is it just going to happen? Truck has a crappy fold up soft cover now. Like the idea of the roll up design to get into a cooler with out having to always drop the tailgate.

I’ve got one on a Ram 1500, a Retrax sold by Gator Covers. I love it. Really surprised that it doesn’t leak a drop. In a very hard rain, where water is standing on it, you might get a very small amount in the back corners on either side of the tailgate. I actually am going to put mine in the TP soon. A employee at the feed store bent it slightly with a forklift and they replaced it. I think it could be bent back but I haven’t tried it. Going to sell the used one on the cheap…

Don't. I had one, it was great for a while and then it became a raging piece of shit. Wouldn't slide, and the edges started coming down out of the tracks and it looked like it had waves in it

There was one in a truck I bought back around 97-98ish. This is exactly what happened to that one. Got all warped and basically went in the shit can.

Camper shell

I went with a camper shell and a Decked system in the bed, I like it so far. I only have $1150 in both of them after being patient on Facebook classifieds.

I had a Retrax be it worked great. I had the all metal one, not the cheap one like Feets bought…..

I have a camper shell and drawer system now and it’s the tits.

Love my camper shell. Decked system is next. Never seen one on FB tho. I don’t have Jacobs luck. Lol

[wdhigh]

Thanks. No shell or deck system until I’m certain we won’t be doing a 5th wheel.

Still saving up and researching campers. Still a good ways from purchasing as well. Just need something that can be flexible with what ever we eventually decide.

I take my shell on and off as needed. Stays on most of the time but have it off right now for the summer. Takes 10 minutes to take it off or put it back on

Quad cab and a shell is a very versatile vehicle. It makes a great spike camp for hunting trips, you don't need much gear to be comfortable for one or two nights.

I wouldn’t own anything but a Retrax

I absolutely love the 2 Retrax systems I've got. I've got a powered one on the short bed Duramax, and the manual slide on the long bed F350. I use fifth wheel and gooseneck in both trucks. I've had problems in the past with other trucks where an above-bed tool box would make contact with my trailers, and I would have to remove the tool box when pulling the big trailers. With the Retrax systems, I have all my tools in weather-proof boxes ahead of the fifth wheel and gooseneck connection, and they can remained locked up because you can lock the Retrax cover at any position. You do lose some bed storage with the cannister, but I've never felt bothered by it. Anything oversized goes on a trailer anyways. As far as waterproof, the powered one on the Duramax is about 80% dry and 95% on the F350. I have a plethora of dry bags, boxes and containers for anything that absolutely has to stay dry as well. Absolutely the best purchases I've made on my trucks!

seems to me like you truck people spend a lot of money to turn it into an SUV.
