    I realize there are tons of threads on truck bed covers, tonneau covers, etc. I've read a ton of them but haven't seen what I am looking for. I am hoping this awesome resource can help me sort through what I think that I need.

    My plan is to get a soft cover for the bed of my 2005 Tacoma. I would like to have something that I can install and then easily roll into a bundle when I don't need it -- rather than taking it off. I don't need it for security. My plan is to buy a bunch of the stackable Front Runner Wolf packs, put them in the bed and cover it when I need it. When I don't need it I want to roll it into a neat bundle and tie it down with straps to hold it in place.

    I am hoping to find a canvas one but could settle for vinyl. I am not really loving the more firm ones that fold even though those tend to be the most common. My wife is an incredible seamstress so I could probably get her to make one out of waxed cotton but I am hoping I can find a canvas (or even vinyl) one that meets my needs.

    Anyone seen anything like this? In short, canvas or vinyl bed cover that you roll into a bundle as opposed to fold as a trim-fold)?

    Thank you! That one is good. I was looking for one that was canvas but something like that might be my only / best option. I was hoping to find one that looked like the Softtopper (that kind of loose canvas) but was in a tonneau / cover style. But that is a good option if I can't find something like that.

    You can buy a vinyl roll up, like in the pic above on eBay pretty cheap if you don’t want to spend much. It won’t be a name brand cover but you also won’t be paying top dollar.

    Do you have any favorites? I wanted to get a canvas but could go that route. I only drive the truck on weekends so it won't get a ton of use.

    Both of those are good / solid options. I was hoping for canvas though. Or even waxed canvas. But I am not sure anyone makes them.
