To remove a topper? If so, how do you store it and lift it off with one person. Thanks for answering my dumb questions. I haven’t owned a topper before, only a tonneau.

I pretty much do the same exact thingMine comes off in the spring and on in the fall. The dogs ride in back with a top and in kennels. Small trailer for ATV if needed during fall/winter although I really only use it for plowing and not hunting.
I buy a new pickup every 5 to 6 years, and within the first week of ownership i order a camper shell, usually a Leer. I travel to either Colorado, Wyoming, or New Mexico every year for elk. Although I take a tent, I have done several hunts where I slept in the bed of the truck. While it is doable, I much prefer the tent. No way could I get a 4wheeler in the bed of the truck with the camper top on. I have a 4wheeler trailer but never take one out west as I hunt areas where no motorized vehicles are allowed. The op will need a trailer if his topper is cab top level like mine. As for hauling wood, I take my topper off once I return from my trip out west, so hauling wood or anything else is a non issue. Toppers provide a degree of security when traveling, although not a lot.I have read a couple threads about truck toppers and it made me start thinking. We recently just sold our camper and now I am thinking I need to have a truck topper so I can still do some non-backcountry camping. My dilemma is, is this a want or is this a need? I have a Cimmaron I use for backcountry but I am not sure how it will fair out using as a truck camp. What are the benefits of the topper? For those that have them, how do you haul a four wheeler if you choose to take one? How do you haul wood, etc. ? It has been hard for me to justify a topper when I bought the truck for the bed and not an SUV. Any advice, tips or criticism.
Thanks,
