    Has anyone ever made a tent that would fit over a hard tonneau cover that is in the up position? It would form a wedge shape and would be tight fitting around the tailgate. Here is a crude image of what I mean:

    Wow! Thanks! That's even more custom than I had in mind. I was thinking of one that would go over the top of the tonneau and drape over the sides with bungees
