2023 Norweld Deluxe Canopy :: Featured Classified

Spring is fast approaching, which means many of us have already begun planning trips for the upcoming season. However, if like me, you’re in the middle of building out your rig, it can also be a time of frustration with considerable wait times on products and services as demand steadily outstrips supply. If you’re in the market for an outfitted camper or, indeed, a canopy, you can expect to wait anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Fortunately, the pre-owned market is a great option to secure a camping solution without the lead time and at a fraction of the cost; cue today’s 2023 Norweld Deluxe Canopy (Canopy only, does not include Deluxe Weekender Tray). If this exquisite build looks familiar, that’s because it was previously showcased by Publisher Scott Brady on the Expedition Portal Youtube. In short, this is the paragon of canopies, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find another that has been optioned to such a high specification. Highlights include a plethora of factory Norweld options, Redarc’s Platinum wiring package, and much more. In addition, owner and long-term overlander Cris Cornette is well-connected, extremely helpful, and will be able to offer the buyer advice on getting their truck configured for this setup. Further still, the modular nature of the design ensures the new owner can configure the shelves, oven, and pantry to suit their personal needs utilising the internal Uni-struts. If you’re in the market for an overland canopy, look no further, as this is the ultimate package at a bargain price.

From the Seller:

“I have an extensive overland vehicle build history and feel that this Norweld/Boss Aluminum combo is one of the best-built pieces of equipment I’ve ever had. With the Redarc 400W Platinum wiring system, you have one of the most reliable and powerful independent systems available. To say that Australians know how to build things to meet the challenges of the outdoors is an understatement and one of the reasons I chose this platform. The Bushman 130-liter fridge and the 12-volt Travel Buddy oven are also great additions. One really important feature is the ability to lock up all of your gear, which protects it from the elements but is also great for security. I really like the huge amount of storage and dust and weather protection. Overall, this combo will bring years of adventures and comfort.”

2023 Norweld Deluxe Canopy

Norweld has been designing and producing aluminum flatbeds and canopies in Australia for more than 50 years, during which it has forged a reputation for uncompromising quality.
