fiberglass ones like this should be easy to get hold of, come with a roll bar (goes behind the cab) and a couple of posts that go in the rear corners of the load bed ,the fiber glass part then sits on top of these and is held in place by quick release clamps

try syncrospares

yes there is enough room to sleep in the bed, and its more comfy than the back seat as its not wide enough.

I've not got the cover anymore as it got dammaged in the wind while it was of the truck so I chopped it up.

I didn't really like it anyway and think ithe doka looks better without it, and longer things on now with out them hanging out the back.

The roll bar is good though

If I ever find a nato cover I'll be fitting one of those though.

Sleeping isn't a problem I've fitted a westy rock 'n roll bed (with a few mods) in the back, which is ok for the kids and then in the back have constructed an alloy raised bed frame - so spare wheels and provisions slide underneath. It's functional and works.

Enough room for a double matress, gets nice and warm after a long drive too. The fibreglass top has 3 doors on hydraulics which allow the sides to drop as well. Gets hot in there in sunlight though.. I did think about insulating but really need to test the loads on the hydraulics first.
