Topper Dealers in Florida. (caps, camper tops, etc)

[Lostsoul]

I posted this in another thread for toppers but I thought this would also be a good place. I am in SW Florida. (home of the hurricane)

I bought a 2019 supercab in August. Now I must have a topper (cap, camper top, etc).
I have been watching videos and searching for thoughts, opinions, and experiences anywhere I can, including you tube and any parking lot, as well as google.

My conclusion is that many people have quality and leaking problems with the toppers, no matter the brand. I am trying to prepare for that eventuality.

I will be buying a midrise style topper with opening side windows. Windows that open hatch style, not just sliding.

I am located in South West Florida. My question is:

Can anyone recommend a good cap dealer in Florida? (based on personal experience. I can google) I am willing to travel to get good service. Leer, ARE, Ranch, they all seem the same to me. Any others?

I had a 2005 Ranger with a cheap aluminum top, with side hatch windows, and it never leaked in 12 years!

To complicate matters, I am putting my house up for sale and hope to be permanently leaving Florida for Maryland or Delaware before next summer.

I have seen at least 100 guys complaining about leaks and poor quality on these toppers.

I may copy and paste this on another thread. I hope this is not breaking rules or impolite. after all, I am a nice guy.

thanks!!

Come to PA for a cap and I'll sell you a aluminum or fiberglass cap that isn't prone to leak! We rarely have a cap come back for leaking.... on the rare occasion we do, it's usually because the cap foam sealer tape between the bottom of the cap and truck bed rails needs to be replaced (it does compress more and more with age and sometimes can slides out of place). That would be a normal wear and tear item.

Our aluminum caps Ranger Enterprises Inc.
We are also an authorized dealer for Jeraco fiberglass caps. We could have our choice of any fiberglass cap to handle, we chose Jeraco. It's a smaller company than the giants in the industry. With that, we feel that is better chance for quality control.

Both companies in the industry since 1971.

Thank you. I am thinking about it. It sucks being a perfectionist!
