Please Recommend a Waterproof Cargo Bag for Truck Bed

Love these! Great for moving our kids to college, inexpensive, convert to backpack carry mode They are fairly water-proof (none of our stuff has ever gotten wet when raining/moving stuff in the bed), but we've never totally soaked them.

 

This Husky rolling toolbox is pretty nice. Been thinking of getting it for a while.

 

Stocko taco is right you need to seal the front of your bed at least. Then maybe the tailgate.

I had a Diamondback sealed up pretty tight no water intrusion.

Don’t get a box, they are a pain.
But the new decked looks nice.

Those front gaps will let water in any cap or tonneau.

 

Yup I “invested’ in these Ikea bags for moving my daughter to college as well. Very strong too and can take a lot of weight.

 

Thats how I handle it, when I need a dry bag I reach for one from my motorcycle stash, the big ones hold allot and like you mentioned, you wouldn't want a huge one since it has the potential to get heavy.

 

First off, thank you ALL for taking the time to reply. This is a great forum!

I guess if I just take the steps to waterproof my bed, then the bag issue becomes moot. I think I'll start there first.

I'll try searching out some how-to videos on YouTube. If you know of any, I'd appreciate the link.

Thanks again, all!!

 

Before I installed my BAKflip, I reviewed a number of threads here describing what to do to reduce or prevent leaks. Seemed to have worked.

 

If sealing the bed does not work: About 10 years ago I purchased a RainX cargo bag from WalMart. It has been a great purchase - very well-made and it is waterproof as the zipper portion of the bag has the bag hanging over it and velcroing to prevent the zipper from getting wet. I still use it.

 

Is the attached pic from RevZilla? Because some of these bags would work great for me!

 

As mentioned previously...dry bags are great for keeping out moisture as well as dust.
Many companies make quality products...like NRS.

Did it come with the oem cover? If not that’s the problem I had. I was getting water in the corners by the cab. There’s a huge gap on each side where the front rail meets the side rails. I’ve seen people silicone the holes up and having good success

 

OP, two cross country trips with this. I removed the factory cover for the bed rack and RTT. This worked like a charm. I did add two D ring tie downs at the cab end of the bed to anchor this front and rear. When you don't need it, it stores in a small bag. Two full size suitcases, two carry on size and muddy boots in a bag. We did add more to this as well traveled and accumulated stuff that sits on a shelf now. It works well.

Use these roll top bags in all kinds of adventures including whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing…made of raft material and basically the gold standard. I still put electronics in a dry box though (pelican box, etc).

 

These Napa boxes work great!

Yep

 

If sealing the tonneau helps but you still get some leaking, put something down in the bed, like cedar 1x6’s, and then put your luggage or whatever on those. That will let any water run down and underneath your cargo and limit the wetness.

 

Love this box! can you provide some info or a link to this product please?
