Topper for Truck
Have 2014 Dodge pu. New to trailer, could use more room for chairs, generator bikes, etc. thinking of a fiberglass topper, looking for pros and cons from owners. Thanks

You may want to check your numbers on payload, GVWR, tongue weight, etc.
Many of the posters saying go for it, are driving 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. They have plenty of payload to carry their tongue weight and have stuff in or on the truck bed. I too, say go for it, if you have the capacity to carry the weight. You are talking about 3 - 400 (maybe more) extra pounds, with cap, generator, bikes and chairs, etc.
My previous setup was a Nissan Titan (with a 200 lb cap) and a 30' TT. When I added the weight of my trailer tongue (950 lbs), WD hitch, the cap, myself, and my wife, my payload was almost maxed out. Another passnger or a generator would have put me over. It was a good excuse for mother in law to not ride along.
