There seem to be a dozen names for this item, and what you call it seems to be highly dependent on which part of the country you are from.

I've heard: Cap, Truck Cap, Canopy, Camper, Camper Shell, Topper, and maybe a few more.

Please reply with where you are from and what you call this.

Thanks!

Out here in NV, they're also mostly advertised as camper shells. Caps are usually flat covers for the bed.

Cap or truck cap in northeast Ohio. In fact, there use to be a dealer in this area called "TruckCap".

Campers or truck caps depending on if they bothered to put the pass-through in or not.

Topper in Saskatchewan...at least thats what we called them 30 years ago, when they were in style. Pretty rare these days.

In my local dialect, it would be referred to as either a camper top or a topper.

I don't speak redneck in my daily life, so I call them ugly.

Here in Raleigh I have heard it called a camper shell, a topper or a Truck Cap. That walk-in camper top would be a mobile home.

Originally from MI, but I've lived in GA, OH, and NV and never heard anything but "Cap".

Its definitely only a cap in upstate NY. The flat ones are tonneaus, though I shudder to think how your average upstate NY truck owner would spell "tonneau"...
