So I’m just starting to research and build my truck for camping and minor overlanding. Truck is a 2016 Ram 2500 Cummins crew cab long bed. Usually the bed is full of tools as I’m a contractor. I tow a 16’ dump trailer a few days a week. On the weekends it pulls a Nautique 226TE wakeboard boat. Im I’m looking into setting it up for trips, mostly state parks on the lake where we put the boat in the water. My wife won’t tent camp on the ground anymore. Don’t blame her. I have modified it some so far. full Carli Backcountry suspension. 5000lb airbags in a daystar cradle. Factory parts that have fallen off and good tuning. So for camping, I would like to do a RTT with annex, and a 270 awning. Most sites have power and water, so not worried about batteries or solar at this time. but I do want to set up a kitchen slide system , 2 burner stove/sink combo and storage for dry goods, camp chairs and table and the wakesurf boards. I did order the Renegade trifold tonneau cover, it supports 2000lb and have to order the 8-12-19in rack for the tent.

anybody have any pics of a real fullsize setup? Not an raptor or f150 or Silverado—they are light duty trucks. I mean an full-size HD truck. Trying to get ideas of what I want to do.BE942E18-6A82-45E8-9E2B-E67818481E33.jpeg

I have been struggling with coming up with a good solution. I am thinking a Diamondback HD cover for secured storage with a RTT...

The struggle is real for us full size truck guys..lol

Thanks,

I ordered the Renegade Cover already. It’s the same as the Diamondback cover except it folds in thirds like a traditional soft cover. Working out of the truck I didn’t like the way diamondback covers only opened from the front or rear and left that center section In. The renegade cover supports 2000lb as well, opens and folds up. Or you can open the front. It has t-track built in all the way around. So you can mount accessories like racks that come in14” 0r 20”. I’m looking for storage solutions under it for when the tent is mounted. Cause like foldable covers they don’t open with the tent on it
