Canopy Camper Base Unit 5 FT Bed

$11,299.00

About 10-years ago, Alu-Cab noticed a gap in the 4×4 rental market; essentially, a need for a lightweight, versatile, mid-range camper solution.

In many respects, the safari rental market in Africa is the ideal testing ground for overland gear, and after exhaustive development, we designed a camper that combined the best of both worlds: it had the lightweight and low-profile benefits of a modular canopy, combined with the versatility and spacious living quarters of a camper.


Features

  • An easy-access vertical door with heavy-duty hinges, and the ability to mount a 33" spare wheel on the back with the addition of the Spare Wheel Bracket. This rear door design eliminates dust and water intrusion commonly found with other Tacoma canopy campers.
  • This Toyota Tacoma truck camper utilizes proprietary extrusions that are used throughout the construction for drill-free vehicle installation and fitment of accessories.
  • This Toyota truck bed camper utilizes tried and true dual-layer ripstop canvas for optimal insulation along with a seamless design to prevent leaks.
  • Improved 150mm tall bed area provides ample room for 75mm closed cell foam mattress and additional bedding to be easily stored in place while closed.
  • This Tacoma canopy camper features integrated roof rails to facilitate the mount of various rooftop accessories.
  • Oversized side gullwing doors allow unobstructed access to gear and airflow while in camp.
  • Industry exclusive standard electrical package includes five National Luna dual color LED lights, USD & 12v Chargers and Solar Pre-wire to make installation of solar panels plug and play.

Solar

From the factory, the Alu-Cab Canopy Camper comes pre-wired for solar. This includes a convenient Anderson SB50 Plug that is mounted to the roof exterior. While the Alu-Cab Canopy Camper can accept any solar, we have worked with Sunflare to produce panels that are optimized for the available roof space while still accommodating a pair of load bars.

The two solar options available are:

 

Sunflare 126W Solar Panel Kit

The Sunflare 126W Solar Panel is more flexible than silicon-based solar panels. That makes them easier to install and eliminates the micro-cracking that silicon cells experience after the flexing of sport and recreational driving. Micro-cracking compromises the electrical integrity and reduces the power output of the panels over time. In addition, the Sunflare panels are better in partial shade. Each cell has a bypass diode so that only the shaded cell turns off. Other panels are set in strings so that if one cell in a string is shaded, the whole string goes out.

Sunflare 126W Extension Panel for 252W Solar Package

The Sunflare 126W Extension Panel is a variant of the Sunflare 126W panel that is specifically made to be used in conjunction with a standard Sunflare 126W panel. Important Fitment Notes: The Sunflare 126W Solar Panel Kit is required for the extension panel.

 

 

 


Awning

Shadow Awning

One of Alu-Cab's best selling products, the Shadow Awning has become the standard in vehicle awnings for its fast deployment and incredible strength while remaining lightweight. The Shadow Awning is only available in left hand configuration for the Canopy Camper. Important Fitment Notes: The Shadow Awn Mounting Brackets and Deflector is required to install the Shadow Awning.

 

 

Shadow Awn Mounting Brackets and Deflector

If you want the Shadow Awning, you're going to need the Shadow Awning Mounting Brackets & Deflector. The brackets will allow you to install the awning to the canopy camper and the deflector installs in front of the awning to deflector brush, branches, and trees away from the awning.

 

Shadow Awning Gutter

A must-have addition for the adventurer who finds themselves using the Shadow Awning in all types of conditions is the gutter kit. This kit enables one to close the gap between vehicle and awning. This way further sealing the user from those stormy conditions. Important Fitment Notes: The Shadow Awning is required to install the Shadow Awning Gutter.

 



Shower

Shower Cube

The Alu-Cab Shower Cube incorporates the quick yet stout design of the Shadow Awn providing a privacy curtain perfect for showers, a quick clothing change or any activity best kept form the eyes of others. Important Fitment Notes: The Shower Cube Brackets are required to install the Shower Cube.

The table top is made from rigidised aluminum that helps to prevent scratching. It’s a must have product for all campers! Important Fitment Notes: The Table Slide is required to install the aluminum table.

Spare Wheel Bracket

We’ve added an adjustable section that can fit various wheel offsets and gives you the ability to tighten the wheel against the wheel carrier.
