Thanks for the tips Aloha.

Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy a regular car right now, I was a builder for 8 years and now travel around the country working at Nuclear Power plants during scheduled outages. So, I am forced to use my truck to travel. All my crap fits inside the cab of the truck, and if I did need to put something in the back, I could, it would just be a bit of a pain.

A pole and tarp system sounds OK to test a theory I suppose, but I plan on driving 6000-7000 mostly highway miles in the coming months. I don't think I could engineer a pole & tarp thing to hold up. Not to mention the noise coming from such a thing would likely drive me nuts.....or I suppose you could say, More nuts.
