It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of DFW Camper Corral (dba DFW Truck and Auto Accessories) founder Edwin M. Abbott.

Ed started DFW in 1978 with the philosophy to “Treat others the way you want to be treated”, and he applied this to not only customers, but employees, vendors, and business associates as well.

We are sad and we are mourning, but please be assured this Golden Rule approach to business will continue at DFW under the leadership of the current Board of Directors and the Abbott family.

The first DFW Truck & Auto Accessories Store opened in 1978. This small, family-owned business sold truck campers from a car lot on Division Street in Arlington, Texas.

A second store was added in Irving, off Airport Freeway, under the screen of the old drive-in movie theater.

Later, two more stores were added in Fort Worth and Mesquite, making DFW Truck & Auto Accessories Store the largest provider of truck shells in North Texas.

Founders Ed and Christine Abbott developed a strong company with a simple business philosophy:

Provide a good product at a fair price, and people will buy from you…
treat people right, do what you say you are going to do; and they will buy from you again.

After 44 years, DFW Truck & Auto Accessories is still family-owned and operated, and still works under the Abbott’s principles.

Take care of your customers, and they will take care of you.

And today, we are the largest provider of truck campers in the North Texas area. We offer our customers more products than when we first opened our doors nearly forty years ago.

In addition to most major lines of truck covers, we now offer dozens of lines of truck accessories (which resulted in a minor change in our name).
