Hey Wrobo....

That's cool. As long as it works for you.

Honestly, my last Snugtop came off very easily, with just the removal of two cotter pins. It still almost required two people because of the bulk of the cover, but it wasn't too heavy. And still, I only found a need to remove it about 5 or 6 times, in the 11 years I owned it.
My new one, on the other hand, because of the remote auto opening thing, looks like more of a PITA.

The thing is, I think I could move a couch or something like that (if I had too) without removing the bedcover.... I'd just leave it open.

On the other hand, although I ALWAYS use my bed with cover, for storage of fishing stuff.... net, anchor, t-motor, etc, I almost never need it for hauling crap like furniture, as 1) I don't own any furniture, and 2) My bed cover gives me a great excuse to not have to haul anybody elses furniture :-) That, and..... Oh Thursday ? Sorry... I'm fishing Thursday. Oh... Friday ? Sorry, I'm working Friday..... Monday ? Sorry, I'm fishing again ;-) (see a pattern here ?) I'm not in the moving business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ya' know, something just came to mind.....
Guys will often say > But what if I need to haul something big ? ......and I guess some do haul big bulky items where a bed cover would be a nuisance. I'm sure some even do it often. But I'd bet that a lot of guys do not get to benefit from a bed cover, with large, wide open, safer, "hidden", dry, storage space, 362 days a year...... So that 3 days a year, they can haul somebody elses couch for them. Uhhhh... Okay.

This reminds me of "a lot of" the guys with back seats in their truck, who say > Well I have kids.... and the guys at work.... well "IF" I need extra seating..... But I drive around all the time seeing Supercrews and Supercabs with "nobody in the back seats". I'm not saying they never use them. Apparently it's just when I'm not looking :-) {speaking of back seats in an S-cab.... sure with I could sell mine. Been trying for months on Craigslist, with no takers :-(

Anyway, my hard-cover works GREAT for me, but I know they are not the best for everyone. Still though.... hard or soft, the name 'Tonneau' is gay ;-) LOL

Peace,
Fish
