Thanks Cert.
I've found the shell seems to be a turn-off for some, so I'm trying to reach more of the hunting community. As the shell + bed rug makes for one helluva rolling hunting camp. Being mobile with a place to sleep in the back and keep the rain and critters off your stuff...pretty handy.
I put a shell on my truck a couple of years ago for the sole reason your mentioned. I picked up a cheap cot that would fit the bed and allow the tailgate to close. I use stackable wooden blocks to level it if needed. Store stuff in plastic tote's under the cot and/or on top of it and plenty of room beside it to get in/out...and put a deer. It's incredibly efficient, I can leave after late after work and arrive at a WMA's camping area after dark, climb in the back, sleep and get up next morning ready to go....no time/hassle setting up a tent, etc. It great regardless of weather and I run a little Ryobi fan in there and crack windows as needed. Not a long term camper but for quick 2 day trips it's awesome.
