Guys, what options do I have for my truck when I go camping. When I am not camping, I can put the kayak in the back. But when I camp, the back is full. I would like to keep the tri-fold cover on also. Thanks!

Not sure why it rotated my truck pic?

Bed extender on your hitch and a roof rack on the cab or yakima outdoorsman on the bed.

1 roof rack on the cab, and a trailer mounted upright kayak rack like a Thule Goal Post. This can be mounted in front or at the rear depending on where your trailer hitch is.

I was only able to find one option when in the same predicament.  I like this rack tho cuz you can carry two yaks.  I use Malone sea wings to craddle them but take them off to not have them stolen when not in use.

I don't know what your tri-fold cover implies, but I went with one of those steel lumber racks and absolutely love it.  It wraps forward around the cab to make three points of contact with the kayak. Very strong.

+1 for lumber rack. Best most secure option.

Thule tracrak sr is expensive but works with folding bed covers. You can find them on Craigslist sometimes in the $250/$300 range.
