Camper shell

A camper shell (also canopy, and sometimes truck topper, pap cap, truck cap, bed cap, box cap, or simply shell)[1] is a small housing or rigid canopy used as a pickup truck or coupe utility accessory.

The housing is usually made of fiberglass or aluminum, but sometimes wood[citation needed] or canvas, and is mounted atop the pickup truck's rear bed.

It usually covers the entire bed of the pickup truck, and is large enough to be used for camping purposes, thus making the vehicle an RV.

A tonneau cover is a soft or hard covering over the entire truck bed that is level or slightly raised above the edge of the truck bed.
