    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Can anyone tell me the bed measurements for the 2 halves? Thinking of just using the larger part and removing the smaller flip up portion, GF and I are both on the shorter side.

    **Tepui RTTs and Accessories**

    I have 2, 3" thick rei self inflating mats from when I used to sleep in the back of my vehicle before the RTT. We put those under the mattress and they stay there when folded, they do not get fully inflated but provide plenty of extra cushion to the factory mattress and still close up in the...

    Awning angle question

    Not really a problem. Rain may pool on the vehicle side since you can't drop a corner to promote runoff. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

    Using power inlet for portable solar panel

    Sae is pretty popular for solar as suggested above. I mounted this: OptiMate CABLE O-20 Weatherproof SAE socket, front panel mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031BOTFC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_exsSxbM7T1YMP and use it to connect a renogy 100w panel. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

    Solar charging - Connection protocol?

    The problem with that renogy kit is the wires from the panel are screwed into the terminal block of the charge controller. If it really was an issue they would have provided a quick disconnect. I think the connection order is more important in higher voltage/amperage systems to minimize...

    Auxiliary HID lights

    I have 5 of the 6" know pro sport hid and the bulbs are around 4500k-5000k, they almost match the 4300k hid I have installed in the morimoto projectors in my headlights. I also got mine from amazon during a sale, they were about $240 a pair. Sent from my RTT while stargazing

    New RTT mattress

    I dont think both mattresses would fit, if they did, your bedding wouldn't. I'd suggest a self inflating mats for each of you so each side can be personalized to the sleeper and you don't disturb each other during the night. Sent from my RTT while stargazing

    Truck came wired for a camper, But I have no idea what is what?

    Grab a multimeter and test each pin. Have a buddy push the brakes work one by one til you find out what all the wires do. White and black looks to be thicker than the rest, so those may be power for accesories/battery charging circuit. Sent from my RTT while stargazing

    Edgestar Fridge Modifications Thread

    It does draw around 4-5 amps when the compressor is running, but the compressor cycles on and off depending on outside temp and what temperature you have the fridge set to. I think 2-3ah is a good average for mine during the day in the desert. I've found covering the fridge with my...
