Alu-Cab Canopy Camper 2015+ Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon

<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 canopy style campers.
• The canopy camper utilizes proprietary extrusions that are used throughout the construction for drill-free vehicle installation and fitment of accessories.
• 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.
• 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.

 

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 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.

Exterior & Interior Table

Alu-Cab Aluminum Table

Alu-Cab’s aluminum camping table like most of our products is built almost entirely from aluminum. The bonus of this, is it keeps the weight down but as usual still offers the strength Alu-Cab is known for. Built from a strong aluminum frame with legs that jump into position via gas struts it almost eliminates the effort to set up. 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.

Alu-Cab Table Slide

If you want the aluminum table, you will need the table slide. The table slide installs below the canopy camper above the cab of the vehicle. This allows you to quickly deploy and stow the table.

GP Factor Rear Door Drop Table

Add versatility to your Alu-Cab Canopy Camper! The GP-Factor Drop Table comes with 3/16 stainless rivets for installation. The table is made from complete stainless pieces with a zinc 1/2" pull tab latch.

Exterior Accessories

Rear Molle Panels (Sold As Pair)

This accessory uses the unique space created by our rear door design, allowing endless mounting opportunities on the back of the Canopy Camper. This is especially important for items like Fuel, Propane and other items not welcomed inside the living space of your camper.

Spare Wheel Bracket

The Canopy Camper Spare wheel bracket has a multi stud universal PCD layout to fit all OEM wheel holes. 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. This clamping feature allows the wheel to be securely held in place and removes any vibrations that can lead to part failure and further injuries to vehicles behind you.
