Abstract: A vehicle bed liner apparatus includes a peripherally sealed flexible top wall and flexible bottom wall for containing a quantity of ballast liquid, e.g. water. Compartment boundary means are located at plural internal non-peripheral regions between the flexible top wall and the flexible bottom wall. The compartment boundary means are in contact with the flexible top wall and the flexible bottom wall. The compartment boundary means define internal compartment boundaries. The plural non-peripheral compartment boundaries and plural internal non-peripheral regions between the flexible top wall and the flexible bottom wall that are not in contact with the compartment boundaries define plural ballast compartments internal to the wall means. The ballast compartments are in communication with each other. A combination fill and drain valve in the flexible top wall is provided for filling the ballast compartments with a water and for emptying the water from the ballast compartments.
