The support assembly has two support arms with attachment ends that are pivotally connected to the cargo bed rails. The support assembly is pivotally connected to the main arch and is movable between a first configuration where the main arch is supported in two forward stake holes and the support arms extend out at an angle from the trailing edge and a second configuration where the main arch is supported in two rearward stake holes and the support arms extend out at an angle from the leading edge.
