    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I know it is just flat black - But - has anyone used a specific brand of flat black on the accc that matches the paint best for touch-up purposes & paint assorted pieces of aluminum I have added to the accc. THX

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I've not spent much time with the hatch removed and don't figure I will miss it at all. I will likely not fill that space up with any type of platform either. Time Will Tell...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I removed the hatch and yes the tent canvas comes down -but that goes away when you deploy the tent and if you need to enter the accc without deploying the tent - you just need to tuck the tent material...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    That's what I figured - We usually sleep with the hatch in the up position anyhow. Good idea to have a smaller hatch to act as an end table and bed-making platform. I figure I will remove the hatch - cut a test piece of plywood to simulate let say a 1/4 sized hatch. Likely from the existing...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I there anyone out there that finds the small hatch door somewhat 'useless. I figure that if I take it out I may not miss it. Any thoughts from folks who have spent a bunch of time up there?

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Very timely post - I'm also looking for a hardware list to start my accc build. (Stainless Steel, Button Allen head & best place to get it).

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I have yet to do any real traveling with the Tacoma. As I have the 20 litre can inside the accc I will use the FRFT for outside water use (maybe shower) and extra water storage if need be (more of a back up). I also did it to buy myself premium inside space. The Manager 30, Inverter and other...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I have yet to post a photo on this forum. I will have to school myself on the matter. I am in no rush to set it up and I will be taking my time with the inside of the accc. BTW - I changed the swing of the rear barn door and so far I am perfectly happy with my decision. Offers easier access to...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    My dealer is installing the Front Runner Flat Tank (FRFT) to my ACCC on a 2013 Tacoma Access Cab Long box tomorrow. If possible do the FRFT mounting before the ACCC goes on the truck. Yes, it does fill that space pretty damn good. For my application, the frft outlet on the bottom will come out...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    That looks really nice. What size of tires are those and how much of a lift did you install. THX

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    All of what your said rings true. I was considering an 80 or 100 series for the longest time with a Campteq popup on it --- till I saw the accc and started looking for a Tacoma the next day! (I have owned a truck camper - hated it) What I like about the accc 1st on my list would be the popup on...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    garrett - What features on the accc makes you like it more than the plethora of truck campers on the market today for full-sized trucks. (BTW I'm not a fan of most truck campers on the market.)

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    That is exactly what I was thinking. A lake effect blizzard that may start at above freezing and drives the moisture into the locks (and everything else) Will freeze pretty solid when night time approaches. Been there done that for years with vehicle locks. That's why they sell the lock De-Icer...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I agree 100% - The tailgate delete - barn door & gull-wing doors sold me on the accc right from the start. I ordered mine a month ago and as soon as I heard of the lock covers about 3 weeks ago I ordered a couple sets. I should be getting the accc at the end of January.

    Mint "80" - Would You Have the Roof Cut Off to Install a Campteq?

    Thanks for all the replies. I originally posted this and a bunch of other inquiries about 2 months ago. I took all the advice given and ended up doing a 180 and ended up buying a 2013 Tacoma Access Cab and will be installing an Alu-Cab Canopy Camper to it next month.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    ZRoamer - Thanks for the feedback. Just the opposite of your dilemma - I've owned a self-built Transit 2500 van for the last 3 years and have slept in it for 15 months total (62K miles). I love it - But I want something more nimble and will take me further away from the crowd. I've thought long...
