The straight out ARB slide worked well, but since the truck is so tall (and I'm 6'3") it made it difficult to reach everything in the fridge. The AluCab tilting slide makes the reach much easier. No issues with the tilt.

Thanks. I too was back and forth about the RamBox setup...but ultimately I knew I wanted some kind of bedrock/bedcap tent setup and this was the way to go.

I've been experimenting with running the Dometic fridge in the truck bed for several weeks. It stays cooler than in the cab, with the Smartcap being vented and the tent providing sun shade. I threw it on my ARB fridge slide that I already had as a test subject. I'm tall, so accessing the fridge...

Took a quick trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Recently noticed that the undersized provided washers on the RSI Smartcap had the possibility of pulling thru over time...so I fixed that. This in on the back door of the cap. The left side has been replaced and the right is an RSI washer. Added some high visibility zipper pulls to my tent...

Went on a few trips. Cape Lookout, OBX Southwestern Virginia (private land) Asheville, NC

After a very long wait, I added the Dethloff Mfg. oil pan skid. Well made and heavy duty it was a bit of a pain to install, but just take your time...cuss a little, and you'll get it done. Added the DFG Shower Cube to the passenger side of the tent. Made my own brackets as a temporary...

In the quest for the most comfortable sleep added the Exped MegaMat Pro Duo that I had laying on a garage shelf. It allows for even more bedding to remain in tent when closed and is very comfortable. As you may be able to tell, from the photos, the mattress is a little shorter than the tent...

Let's get this back on track...

From our recent trip touring around the panhandle of Florida.

Few more shots of the tents new features. Side Awning, Stowable rear awning...and I made a shoe bag mount and found a waterproof solution for shoe storage.

I was level without the airbags with the 1.5" Front Thurens and 1" Rear Spacer and Stock Rear Springs. I bagged it to account for towing, adjusting to different loadouts and customizing ride quality. You'll be nose high if you do not do the rear spacer....but if you add the bags you can adjust...

New RTT added. Went with the tested and proven AluCab Gen 3.1 The improvements made to an already great tent pushed me in this direction. New rear awning design with ventilation, included side deployed/stowed awning, 3D mesh anti-condensation mat, and double wide rung'd telescoping ladder were...

I had my RSI Smartcap windows wrapped to add a bit of security from prying eyes and a more unique look. And I borrowed the RhinoRack Sunseeker awning from my Venturist to see how it'd look on the truck. I like it.

Couple more updates to the build thread: Added another HardKorr light to the rear tailgate hatch. 39" bar fit perfect on the RSI Smartcap. Did a little winter camping with the Runaway Camper. Got to test out my homemade battery box along side the Traeger Ranger. It was a great...

From one Smartcap owner to the next...and their aren't many of us...I'd love to talk with you about it. How's it going so far?

The new rack turned out great! Looking forward to some camp photos of everything in use.
