Tonneau or Shell?

Ok, so I ordered our 3124kb yesterday and already my wife and I are having a disagreement. Your counsel here could save a marriage.

She wants me to buy a shell for our Tundra. I just want to put one of those composite or fiberglass tonneau covers on it. I mean, hell, it's a truck. When you put those shells on, it just doesn't look like a truck anymore! "Yeahbut" she says, "Where ya gonna put all the stuff that we'll need on our trips?" "Under the tonneau," says I.

So who's right? Can we get what we need under a tonneau? I'd be interested in hearing from those of you who use a truck for a TV.

Our typical trip will be 7-8 days.

Save me a trip to Dr. Phil.
