My first time, ever. Never used one before. I installed a Extang rollup soft vinyl cover. I plan on only keeping it on in the winter and plan on taking it off when spring arrives. I use the bed of the truck a lot in milder weather and do not want to be encumbered with the tonneau cover and its hardware.
Having to constantly shovel snow out of the bed of the truck in the winter is a chore I can do without. The security a cover provides for stuff in the bed is nice, as is the weather protection it provides.
I do have a concern about the bed not drying out properly since there is not air circulation in the bed when the truck is parked. There is a small gap between the tailgate and the rear edge of the cover and, with my truck parked facing downhill, some moisture is going to get in.
