    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I’ve never had any water ingress in my ALCC when the top is popped while camping or closed up and driving through heavy rain. I guess some of the early gen RTTs had some issues, but that seems to be in the rear view mirror. I do get a little moisture in around the zipper of my privacy shelter...

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    I’m interested in what you did for an aux tank… could you provide a little more info?

    Pop up toppers (GFC, Lone Peak, Super Pacific, etc.) how much condensation and or leakage in the PNW or other humid environments?

    Also since they haven’t been mentioned in this thread, AT Overland campers should be on the consideration list, specifically the Atlas and Summit models. I’ve had a chance to crawl around in both and they are mighty impressive. There is an Oregon dealer (Oregon Adventure Trucks) who are solid...

    Pop up toppers (GFC, Lone Peak, Super Pacific, etc.) how much condensation and or leakage in the PNW or other humid environments?

    I guess I didn’t address the condensation question. I haven’t done any insulation on my camper, so it’s one big thermal bridge. Condensation has not been a big deal and easily managed with leaving a window cover or 2 cracked. I added a Dickinson P9000 propane heater this fall and it produces...

    Pop up toppers (GFC, Lone Peak, Super Pacific, etc.) how much condensation and or leakage in the PNW or other humid environments?

    I’m on the desert side of the PNW with a Jeep JT and an Alu-Cab canopy camper. Rig sits outside 24/7. Been through some really epic rain and never had any water (or dust) in the camper. It’s sealed extremely well. A contributing factor is the tailgate is removed and the camper has an integrated...

    No commentary needed....

    The pricing is ethically dubious for sure, but the market will correct. Bleeding edge is called bleeding edge for a reason!

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I can’t answer your question in terms of materials, but I did purchase and install this in like 5 minutes to get a ball mount for a fan or tablet. Very nice accessory. https://www.813fabrication.com/product-page/alu-cab-national-luna-led-light-accessory-mount

    Lithium Ion jump pack failed today during a jump, looking for ideas on what happened?

    We have a desire to keep jump packs in the vehicle at all times, just in case…. But if I read the fine print on my Noco jump pack, it indicates that heat and cold are things to be avoided. Not sure where you are located but the inside of my rig is exposed to both extremes seasonally… so that...

    Best Kitchen spot-- side or tailgate? Bad weather and normal.

    Doesn’t the answer mostly rely on awning coverage/placement and personal preference? Hard to imagine a right answer with all the variation in vehicle layout and capacity.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I'm running this kit also. It's a nice upgrade, easy to install and keeps the door in check in all conditions I've encountered. 813 Fabrication has a bunch of really nice parts for the ALCC.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    You're talking about the struts for the tent top itself, yes? It's easy to source struts of different lift capabilities for the side hatches but I don't think I've ever read about anyone swapping them out for the main tent. I'm sure someone has though... Perhaps OK4WD can point you in the...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I use a digital thermometer with a wired outside probe. The thermometer body is velcroed to the underside of the small section of the sleeping platform. The probe sits outside at the base of the rear tent. It passes through the camper body via a small hole drilled into the wire chase at the...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Looking for some advice on how people are maintaining their water tanks. The placement of the water tank outlet(s) mean that there is an inch or so of water left in the tank that can't be easily drained. Wondering how hard I should try to get this remaining water out. The tank is going to sit...
