Waterproof in-Bed Transportation, Storage, Containers, etc.

I am curious to see what others are using to keep their items dry and clean during storage. We have a ton of cargo room, but it's exposed to the elements so I'd like to see what you all use to transport things in your bed, other than a tarp...

I'm talking about containers, boxes, storage bags, etc.

Thanks...

Ive got an old carrier that went on top of my mothers minivan, its probably 20 years old but still weather proof. Use it for luggage and such on trips.

Does a good job strapped down in the bed

I find 45 mph works pretty good. I have come thru some VERY heavy downpours at 55 or 60 and not gotten my bags wet.
the only time Ive had an issue is coming into Houston one day and hit a 10 minute shower and EVERYONE stopped. after the rain cleared, so did the traffic.

Here is a link to some "Dry Bags" they are made of a water proof material, they come in all sizes you use them on the river to keep your gear dry, they work in the back of a truck as well:
