ABSTRACT:
A covering apparatus is usable with a pickup truck having a bed that is fitted with a fifth-wheel hitch, and protects interior cargo space from the elements and theft, and also tends to reduce the aerodynamic drag of the truck. The covering apparatus provides a cover defining a hitch opening allowing access to the fifth wheel hitch. A trough defines a channel between the hitch opening and the tailgate, which is notched to fit the trough. A boot forms a weather-tight seal with a trailer gooseneck attached to the fifth-wheel hitch. Side rail supports allow the width of the covering apparatus to be adjusted according to the width of the truck bed. A removable trough floor allows the hitching and unhitching where the trailer gooseneck would otherwise make contact with the floor of the trough.
