    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Hey, there may be too many differences between your setup and my setup for this info to matter, but maybe it will help... I have a Canopy Camper on a 2017 Toyota Tacoma (the one with four doors and a long bed). I took the back seats out and installed a non Goose Gear plywood platform. I have...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I have a Tacoma and also moved my backup camera from the tailgate to just above the license plate. It was a pretty easy fix and works pretty well for the most part (just have to remember that because it was moved, you can't really trust the on-screen guide lines anymore). I ran some pretty...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I have a 6ft bed Tacoma and live in Wisconsin where the speed limit on the main highways is 70. I usually drive about 80 and my milage averages between 15 and 16. I have seen it as low as 8 with a heavy foot and a head wind though. :eek: I don't really notice a difference in how it drives since...

I had a few VERY small leaks right after mine was installed, but a touch of silicon sealer in the spots where I saw...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    @Colby Jack , I have a 2017 Tacoma. I took out the entire rear seat, but not the plastic part behind the seat. In the Tacoma, the rear seat tilts forward and I used the brackets from that to mount a piece of plywood. I covered that in cheap sitck-on carpet from Lowes. Hopefully my pic is...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I removed my back seat and mounted mine on a slide. There is so much more room in the camper and I couldn't be happier with the decision.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I used regular M8 carriage bolts on mine to mount my solar panels on the roof and they worked perfectly. I put the head of the carriage bolt into the slot... M8's work on the lower slots and inside too, but for those you need to use the "jam" nuts, which are not as thick. The regular ones are...
