Do I Need To Remove My Tonneau Cover When Hauling A Turck Bed Camper?
Updated 09/29/2025 | Published 09/11/2025
Question:
Hello, I have a 2022 GMC 2500HD truck with this cover and am looking to buy a truck camper. I am pretty sure this cover would need to be removed for the camper, but wanted to investigate potential workarounds that anyone has done that allows for the cover to remain within the bed?

Hello Megan, thanks for reaching out. Your RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTX46SR would need to be completely removed in order to haul a truck bed camper. There just would not be enough room in the bed for both, and there is no workaround for this.
