lost, what sort of tonneau cover did you end up getting when you got a new one? We are going to have to get a new cover, ours is just with the shock cord, and after doing the gulf trip last year, we got a lot of dust in. Just wondering whether to stick with the same type, or use the opportunity to get a different type?

Go the zip and Velcro, (mine also has 6 straps and buckles sown in to stop the excess dust cover flapping around)  and We just came back from the tip after a 3 weeks and got next to nothing on the tent . Do the old fold up on itself trick and you will have no problems.

Yep, the zip and velcro is great.

the 6x straps, are known as shorteners, and they are a great idea, my old truck tarps had them
