Does the DualLiner truck bed liner have sufficient grip to use with a truck camper (if I place my pad on top)? I like the protection offered by my drop-in, but it's a pain to install, remove and store. I got only 2 hits on a forum-wide search, so I'm wondering if that means few people use them.

I've done it with a rubber mat on top of the duraliner. No problems that I ran across. It is a pita to remove.

The problem with removable drop-in bedliners seems to be that the liner can move around in the bed with the camper loaded (even if it is just a tiny little bit) and any dirt particles that get underneath act like sandpaper. Or so I have heard. Don't have one myself.

I still have the factory plastic bedliner in my truck. Run it with a thin rubber mat on top.Been that way for 6 years and 2 campers, no issues.I keep meaning to remove it and do a spray in liner, but keep not getting around to it.

I thought it was a great feature that you could remove it but wasn't aware of cases where you had to.

Does anyone haul a truck camper with a DuraLiner in the bed?
