Alu-Cab Contour Canopy Roll Call - not Camper

[ttn333]

Might sound like the weakest question to come out of that thorough explanation but, did you jeep come with the bed outlet installed Or did you do it after you received it?

That was already present. But I've seen threads on here with members detailing the install process.

By the way gtoverland has a sale on the road chef for $150 shipped. Figured that's a good price to try it out.

That’s pretty cool. I’m in early stage of My build and to add More, i have a garage being built so its going a bit slowly at the moment. The contour is what I was looking at for canopy.

Looks GREAT! I saw that cab at the overlanding event in Flagstaff last summer and that cab is nice. Wish it came in other colors. What RTT do you have and do you like it? That cab and an RTT are on my to do list.

The tent is also Alu-Cab and it's the new matching 3R version. Best clamshell RTT on the market IMO.

That's a sweet tent.. but dam pricey. Just saw the walk around on that, pretty cool features. Especially like the raise up head rest. It's very well thought out through and through.

In the grand scheme of things, yes, metal clamshell RTT's are the most expensive. In terms of the competition (don't get me started on a comparo thread again ) the AluCab 3R is slightly more expensive than the competition but packs the most features and benefits.

I was able to finish the hot water shower setup just in time for winter

Looks Good, is that the explorer cabinet?

Thanks, it's the 750mm cupboard. I believe all Explorer accessories also fit the Contour. At least I know the folding camp table/brackets and cupboards fit so far.

Thanks for the picture. I have that vertical seal flap but it does not touch the tailgate, I guess the top is too far forward. I picked up some different seal materials at Lowe’s last night to try.

Thanks, I will measure tonight. I am getting water in the channel somehow. It is also wet under my jack which I store at the bulkhead, I never had that issue with the canopy camper. No obvious signs of water coming in except at the tailgate.

And the height, no leaks in my canopy

Here are some photos of the RLD Canopy fit. Have had it on for 18 months and several trips to desert. Put a little strip of weatherstrip vertical down side of bed where tailgate closes and a piece of 6" wide bed seal joining the floor and tailgate. Seems to keep dust out very well. Have not had any issues with the fit. Also, I like the steel canopy, as I can attach lights, tarps, etc at camp with just a magnet. Also used magnets to help support the reflectix I put in ceiling and end. Very well built and pleased with it.
Believe ithey said it weighed @ 185lb without windows and just under 200 with windows. I never weighed it.
