What about just pulling the fuse before you go to bed?
to sleep in it comfortably with an air mattress. It is all held down to the vehicle with bungee cords. I may make a few modifications to allow for using cam straps instead and to get the strap out of the way of the rear door. It has a few places that it doesn't sit quite flush with the sides of the truck (like around the flares), but overall I think will keep most wind and water out. I will post up results after using it sometime in the spring, as I probably won't be doing any camping until then. The setup is pretty straight forward and easy, and for about a tenth of the price of some of the other options posted here I'd say it will probably suit my needs just fine. I don't do any big expeditions to Mexico and the like, where a sturdier option would make more sense. If you weren't planning on living in it, I think it would work out great for car camping. At any rate, here are a few pics of it in my garage, if I got the pic posting process right:
