Car Luggage Carriers

Stowing luggage in a truck bed?

Hello, What's the best method when putting luggage in a truck bed to prevent it from getting wet. Driving 12 hours down to florida so I am pretty sure we will hit a storm or two. Could I just buy a car cargo carrier and just sit it in the bed of the truck, I would think the weight of the luggage would keep it in place. Would a 20 dollar tarp work. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.

1. The car cargo carrier sounds good, but sit it on some two by fours to keep it out of any puddling on the truck bed.
2. use a tonneau cover, also help with MPG, in act I gained an extra 1.7 mpg after adding my cover. In addition its water tight so anything underneath it will be dry
