    Alu Cab Expedition 3 RTT wear and tear

    Mine gets smashed it to tree branches almost everyday. Paint is scratched but tent isn't dented and still functions flawlessly. I did take one good dent on the side where it must have flexed and hit a mounting bolt. However it just dented and didn't break. Tent is bomber

    The in reach is amazing. I also have a ham license. I use the in reach for vehicle to vehicle comms. However on a recent remote trip to Baja I was texting my wife and getting the surf report on my ipad while lounging in camp. No way that could ever happen ham radio. I considerer it a mandatory...

    iKamper Skycamp initial thoughts and observations

    I feel the ikamper design is the best path forward in regards to a RTT that has a hardshell and can sleep 4. It might have some issues now but honestly for the weight this is the only ticket for a family. I have an alucab expedition 3 that I LOVE. its super burly and can be bashed into low...

    Alu-Cab Has Landed In The USA!

    Has anyone mounted solar panels to their expedition 3? I was wondering if anyone here had ideas about which mounts and panels to use. Was thinking of mounting mine forward of the roof rack track as I often have surfboards loaded up. Thanks!

    ARB fridge slide rattles_ How can I fix this?

    I purchased a used ARB fridge slide. The tolerances of the bearings seems super loose and the slide rattles all over the place! Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks! Dan

    I am also having an issue with condensation forming on the tent fabric with the cover closed. I believe the set is working and is water tight. However condensation is forming in the small air gap between the lid in the base. Concerned about mildew long term

    Hi guys, Does anyone have the dimensions of the expedition 3 mattress? I would like to order a anti-condensation mat. I see that CVT no longer sells their cut to fit mats. Anyone know where I can a custom one piece or find a cut to fit? Thanks!

    Hi Rin, I was wondering if you had any ideas on an anti condensation mat for the mattress in the expedition 3? It seems to be getting consistently damp underneath the mattress? I had to pull it our in Baja and let it air out every other day. Dan

    Alu-Cab Has Landed In The USA!

    Yeah, all they have to do is include a way to bundle it up, even at the bottom and it would be perfect. This is what I kinda ended up doing anyway, Might need to get my wife the seamstress to figure out something.... At least I was in the desert. Would be a pain in the *** if it was wet for an...

    Alu-Cab Has Landed In The USA!

    I just got back from two weeks in Baja with my expedition 3. Still post -processing all the photos but the bottom line is that the tent is baddass. We drove roughly 300 miles off the pavement and the tent held up just fine. It was incredibly easy to set up. One night we had a decent sized storm...
