Why would you want one?
The bed is so short .
I would look for a tent trailer and tow the thing, ...but that's just me.

I know I've seen them, but can't remember where. The top extended all the way to the front of the cab, making for a very large bed. The back ended at about where the tailgate ended. The main compartment was pretty small. Basicly, a warm and dry place to sleep and cook meals. That's about all it was good for. I can't remember the weight, though. Seemed like it was pushing the max for the Dakota.
