WhyIaughta... I'm coming down there! ;-)
Jeff has a point. If I had an open bed I would definitely go for
a rug that kept the water on top where it can dry out fast, but I'm not
sure about with a tonneau - I guess it would depend on the temperature and
weather, etc. I suppose it would depend also on wether you prefered
to drain the water or evaporate it. I haven't really given it more
than a casual thought, so I'm not sure which would be better. If on
top is the way Bedrug does it, that is probably the better way - one would
think they would have done their homework. :-)
