Tonneau Covers for Adventure Seekers: Ideal Options for Ute Camping Setups

Laurence DeerNov 15, '24

Ute Covers Direct is home to tonneau covers for adventure seekers: ideal options for ute camping setups start with us. While some campers prefer hard-lidded options, it doesn't always hurt to take a softer approach — with our range of soft tonneau covers. In our collection, we have all kinds of utes covered, from Holden Commodores to Ford Rangers.

Let's review our range of tonneau covers for sale and see what suits your setup!

Soft Covers for Hard-Core Camping?

Soft tonneau covers are fantastic for adventure seekers: in fact, they're ideal options for ute camping setups. Why do we take such a hard-line stance for soft covers? There are a number of reasons:

Versatile Cargo Management

Soft tonneau covers are flexible — in more ways than one. They roll back easily so you can grab your gear at a moment's notice. Some even roll back completely, granting you access to the full tray! This is the sort of flexibility you want on your side, especially if you're loading larger items such as tents, camping chairs, or kayaks. After loading 'er up, you can easily fasten the cover back in place, keeping your cargo secure while you're on the road.

Weather Protection

Australian weather can be unpredictable. One moment, you're driving beneath clear blue skies; the next, you're caught in a sudden downpour. Soft tonneau covers shield your gear from rain, wind, and dust, keeping everything dry and clean. Whether you're camping in the tropics or the outback, having that extra layer of protection is a game-changer for anyone who values their gear.

Security

Soft tonneau covers deter would-be thieves. Most models come with secure fastening systems, tucking your belongings securely out of sight. At the very least, a soft tonneau provides a barrier between your items and prying eyes, keeping them off a robber's radar.

Fuel Efficiency

A lesser-known benefit of using a tonneau cover is improved fuel efficiency. Covering the open tray of your ute reduces wind resistance, which can save you fuel on long drives. This is especially handy when you're venturing off on camping trips that involve long stretches of highway driving.

At Ute Covers Direct, there's a tonneau cover to match almost every make, model, and series of ute in Australia. We are bursting with way too much stock to compile a complete list, so here's a highlight reel of our camping favourites:
