Default Anyone using a decent cargo net?

Just got my Ram a few weeks back. I'm going camping in a few weeks and there will be a fair amount of loose cargo in the bed. Anyone have suggestions or links for a decent cargo net?

Seems like there are a million on the web, but they are all one-size-fits-all. I'd prefer one for my truck (quad cab, short bed) or at least one that's specifically for full size trucks.

I've used one like this, I don't remember the brand since it's was my buddy's, it had adjustable hooks and was elastic. It worked quite well, i'll call him and see if he remembers what kind it is.

I saw that on at HF and considered it, but 72x96 seems huge. I don't have huge amounts of cargo, I just have some things that may be loose that could fly out on the highway. Also, the the picture on the package (not the same one shown on the site) made it look like you clip the net onto the outside/bottom of the bed (Around the wheel wells, etc) which I didn't like. Is that the case?

Also, the smaller one says it's for small trucks - did you use it on a full size truck?

the smaller one works perfect for small loads.. I to do a lot of camping and such and when the load is small that is up up to the bed rails or even a little taller the smaller ones works perfect.. I use the lager one when moving larger or more awkward loads.. like wood or moving someone.. never lost anything and has held up very well.. I have had them three years and still going strong.. These hook up under the bed rails and very adjustable... I know the smaller one says smaller trucks but if it is small loads works perfect..

Thanks for the insight. I went to HF today and they were out of the smaller one. I picked up a 4'x6' Trailer Cargo Net for $8.99. We'll see how it does next weekend, should be fine. I'd like to see the smaller net for comparison.
