    They certainly are more expensive, but like most things, you get what you pay for. It was perfect for me, though it ain't everyone's cup of tea. It's hard to make a bike rack and the rear door work. Storage Build Out by Michael Rickerd, on Flickr Just kidding. It's incredibly simple...

    Lone Peak Overland

    I'm kind of with you on this one. I hope he pulls something fantastic off, but I will say that I am skeptical. I've seen GFC's in person. Three of my friends have them, and one was just installed yesterday. I've been in them, I've studied them, and I've researched them to death. Also, both GFC...

    Go Fast Camper Megathread

    I recently did a 9 day trip with a few friends, two of whom had GFC's: a V1 and a V2. _MG_3810 by Brent Prater, on Flickr My best friend has one and we camp together very often. 7-23 weekend by Michael Rickerd, on Flickr Clear Creek - 8-13 Weekend by Michael Rickerd, on Flickr GFC's are...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    That's my thought as well. I really like the way the ACCC looks right off of the bat, so I didn't want to change the interior feel/look with some foam panels to try to keep the heat in. I just bought a Dickinson furnace instead. It makes a lot more sense to me to have a way to make a bit of...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I don't know either, but I am interested to find out more. Having a nice, secure, pivotable way to mount an iPad would be very convenient for me.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I agree with you, if the foam is applied in a specific manner. In the case of something like a LEED certified building (really energy efficient, from building material procurement to daily energy use) these types of insulators have to be applied in a specific quantity in a specific way. For...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Assuming you mean the tubing on the rear door that gives it its structure, my personal preference is to avoid adding something like this. My basic understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer (degrees in ME and Mathematics) has me understand that it just ain't worth it. Air is an...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    It is vented to the outside, as it is not a sealed container. Pooling may be a concern in a massive warehouse, or other large, well sealed, space, but the entirety of the camper is ~96 cubic feet, a tiny, tiny space. And opening a single hatch/door basically ventilates the entire inside within...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    The 80/20 (I use the 1 inch stuff, plenty strong) has little corner brackets that are usually used longitudinally (lengthwise) to connect the lengths of 80/20 together, but they can also be rotated perpendicular and used to mount panels to. I like the idea of a panel nestled into the small...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I have the same thought. I'm trying to be as space efficient as possible, and the Goose stuff is just too heavy, and not as space efficient as I would like it to be. So I'm going full custom. No drawers, and as few panels as possible. 80/20 is super intuitive. Just start playing with it and you...

    You all must have Zen like patience! It was hard for me to wait the ~8 whole days it took after I decided I wanted my AluCab Canopy Camper for it to be shipped across the country to where I live.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I have the P9000 mounted to the camper. The full size tank lives in the bed of the truck, inside of an 80/20 framed structure near the fridge and the water tank. I did this for a few reasons: - I didn't want to penetrate the camper anymore than is absolutely necessary (weatherproofing) - I...

    I'll be interested to see where this goes. If he can really pull this off then every other manufacturer will be impacted. The price point is just too juicy.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Thanks! The mounts are straight from Rotopax. My friend Will was hanging out in my garage one day and we were discussing where to store extra fuel. He grabbed one of my containers and placed it there. It is very very close to a perfect fit. Both of my Fuelpax came with the spinning part that...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Update with some action shots: The camper held up to a serious pounding. Over 290 miles of continuous offroad driving, 30 degrees of roll as indicated on the dash, the whole nine. Every system worked flawlessly the entire time. Only time will tell how rugged it actually is, but this was the...

    That was the trail from the switchbacks out towards Doll House. The 'trickiest' part of the entire place. Nothing too extreme, but you are so far away from help that it adds a bit to the difficulty. And it takes ~6.5 hours to get to The Wall campground from the Ranger Station. Thank you. Not...
