ABSTRACT:
A tonneau cover for a fifth wheel camper truck is disclosed comprising a supporting frame which is secured to the upper ends of the wall members of the truck box and having a cover extending thereover. The supporting frame comprises a pair of side frame members which are positioned on the upper ends of the side walls of the box, a front frame member extending between the forward ends of the side frame members and a back frame member which extends between the rearward ends of the side frame members. A plurality of spaced apart cross members extend between the side frame members and are arched so that the centers dwell in a plane above the ends thereof. The cover is secured at its periphery to the side frame members by snaps or the like and has an opening formed in the central portion thereof positioned above the fifth wheel mounted in the truck box so that the king pin of a trailer may extend downwardly therethrough. A cap is detachably secured to the cover so as to close the opening during the time that the truck is not being used to pull a trailer. A zipper extends from the rearward end of the cover to the opening so that the cover may be installed on the truck or removed therefrom without disconnecting the truck from the trailer.
