Even though Campway’s is the number #1 retailer for camper shells and tonneau covers, and we stock more brands and models than any of our competitors, it just isn’t possible to stock every single size, color, and truck fit.

Manufacturers build camper shells, truck caps, and tonneau covers to order, and the lead time is typically 2-3 weeks. Need one sooner? Ask about our “expedite” and “loaner” options.

Yes. However, please note that there may be slight differences due to:

• Steel surfaces look different than fiberglass surfaces when painted.
• Truck manufacturers use three different paint suppliers.
• Paint technologies can differ at each plant on the same type of vehicle. For example, “waterborne basecoat” or “high solids” paints are two different paint technologies that are often used to produce the same color and on the same model.
• Paint application equipment like “mini bells”, “robotics”, “electrostatic” and “conventional spray” all apply paint differently, changing metallic and color appearances.
• Fluid delivery and air pressure variations in OEM plants can greatly affect color match consistency.
• A change in the same batch can even occur because of “metal flake shearing” due to constant mixing.
• The variation of film builds on the same colors over different color primers can change the final color.
• Multiple substrates on the car can affect color match consistency.
• Temperature, humidity, differences in the line speed, and piping distances can all cause a variation in color.

SEMA, vehicle manufacturers, and paint suppliers are constantly working together to supply information that will improve the color match process.

We do! When confirming your camper shell, truck cap, or tonneau cover order, be sure to ask about installation services available at your designated pickup location.

Cab high camper shells match the height of your truck’s cab, offering a streamlined look and improved aerodynamics. High rise camper shells extend above the cab to provide additional interior space and headroom. The main difference comes down to how much vertical room you need. Cab high shells are ideal for hauling low profile gear, while high rise shells are better suited for camping, taller cargo, or added versatility.

Yes, many camper shells can be locked from the inside, depending on the model and locking system installed. Some shells come with interior locking mechanisms or can be upgraded with aftermarket solutions that allow you to secure the shell while inside, which is especially useful for camping or overnight stays. If interior locking is important to you, be sure to ask about available options during installation or customization.

Fiberglass camper shells are often considered better than aluminum ones for certain uses because they offer a more custom fit, improved insulation, and a smoother, more finished look that can be color-matched to your truck. They’re generally quieter on the road and provide better climate control. Aluminum shells, on the other hand, are lighter and more affordable, making them a great option for work trucks or those prioritizing utility over aesthetics. The best choice depends on your priorities, such as weight, durability, appearance, and budget.

The average weight of a truck camper shell typically ranges from 150 to 200 pounds, depending on the size, material, and features. Fiberglass shells tend to be heavier due to their solid construction and added insulation, while aluminum shells are usually lighter. Larger shells for full-size trucks will weigh more than those made for mid-size or compact pickups. Always check your vehicle’s payload capacity to ensure proper fit and safe usage.

To clean and maintain a camper shell, regularly wash it with mild soap and water to remove dirt, road grime, and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the paint or window seals. Inspect the weather stripping and seals periodically to ensure they remain watertight and replace them if they show signs of wear. Lubricate locks and hinges with silicone spray to keep them functioning smoothly, and check mounting hardware to make sure the shell stays securely attached to your truck. Proper care will keep your camper shell looking great and performing well for years.

Getting a camper shell adds versatility, security, and protection to your truck. It shields your cargo from the weather, keeps gear out of sight, and can even be used for camping or sleeping on the go. Camper shells also improve aerodynamics which may help with fuel efficiency, and they can be customized with storage, lighting, or racks to fit your lifestyle whether for work, travel, or outdoor adventures.
