Lightbulb cap camping?

just got a cap(aint exact one for the truck but fits almost flawless) and was wondering on some ideas for a camping setup. i already kno that i want a 2x4 frame lining the bed with a piece of sheetwood so my matress(double tall) will be a little closer to the windows. it has no headliner inside...i was thinking of painting it to help 100% water seal it. thanks for any ideas (pics help)

Don't know the amount of $$$ you're dealing with, but they make tents and aero beds specifically designed for various truck beds (no cap used/needed) a lot of online stores carry them.

I used it for about 4 years and it worked great. I am supried I never saw any others at campgrounds. It is cheap and really useful and only takes a couple minutes to set up. I got it from Campmor.
