Problem with a camper shell is height for taller items, but you can always camp in the darned thing, and it is lockable. Problem with a hard cover (Turtle hull, teneau cover etc) is it is even shorter, and some of them are designed to be installed ONLY once. You remove it it never goes back on. The main holes for it are molded into the fiberglass. Myself if I don't care for either one. There are a few "soft" covers out there that roll away, etc. But some of them use bolt on or clamp on aluminum rails that get in the way. It all depends on what you want to do with it. My truck is a hunting and farm truck fuel milage don't really come into it, particularly since 3 out of 5 loads stick up above the cab (need to take an old fridge, old washer, and old water heater to the scrap yard this weekend for example)

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
