camper shell

Pickup bed cover

A camper shell is a rigid cover that fits over the bed of a pickup truck, creating an enclosed cargo space.

Also called a truck cap or canopy.

The shell typically has windows and a rear door, providing weather protection for cargo or a basic sleeping area for camping: We threw sleeping bags in the back and the camper shell kept us dry all night.
