These topics are confusing so hopefully I can get some feedback from the people that know what we're getting into. I know we want both a bedliner and a Tonneau cover that locks. We hear that spray on bedliners crumble over time but wasn't sure if it would apply that much to our situation where we will have a cover. I've been looking at the bedrug for the bedliner as well but didn't know how much of impact it will have with the 5th wheel hitch. We like the Re-Trax and the roller concept but had concerns about the hitch again. I was hoping someone had feedback as far as a combo package that would be ideal for us. We have a 2014 Silverado 3500 Dually. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you have a 5th wheel, you'll need a tonneau cover that not only locks, but is not too difficult to remove. Not sure how much the 5er hitch protrudes above the truck bed, but if it doesn't, you might consider an Undercover. We've had one of those since we've had our truck (which is now 7 years old) and have been pretty pleased with it. Be careful with the fit when it's installed, though - ours has rubbed a bare spot on one side of the truck bed. Locks seem to work well. It's relatively lightweight, I think about 30-40 lbs for the cover; the two of us were able to take it off without a lot of hassle.

We have a Rol Bak G2 hard locking bed cover. No drill install and pretty easily removable, but very heavy. Haven't had any problems yet but have been told on this forum when making sharp turns on uneven ground, the rails could be hit. We have an airhitch that sits just below the cover with a few inches to spare.Our auxillary fuel tank fits below the canister of the bed cover. Also have a tool box between the aux tank and the hitch. Did a lot of research to find what will work for us full timing next year. Sorry, no help on the bedliner.Safe travels

Have a 'drop in' plastic bed liner that came with truck for past 7years. 5th hitch is mounted on top of it, and it has worked wonderfully for 25K+ miles of towing.Tonneau for 7 yrs was a factory Mopar fabric roll up cover. It was replaced this spring with an Extang Trifecta since the canvas was shrinking and it was getting hard to fasten to the railsMy configuration doesn't lock at either tonneau or tailgate, but that has not been a problem either at home or on the roadAnother possible configuration for you to considerJMHO

I have spray in bedliner.. LineX I think, but I am not sure.. love it.. As far as a tonneau cover I have Undercover Flex. It can be opened all the way or part way and latched that way without having to remove. It does not lock itself, but requires you to open tailgate to unlatch and open. So by locking your tailgate, you have locked the cover. I like the finish because it doesn't scratch and look ugly from daily use. I have had small limbs fall on truck and not mark up the cover.
