Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Roll Call

[SCDerby]

Went to the Outer Banks (OBX) for a long Labor Day weekend and set the gladiator up on the beach...it was great!

Looks great I wish we had a beach to go to, we only have the desert in Az and great areas to wheel in

I mounted the redarc manager30 on the molle panels situating them to leave room For a 2000watt inverter. I then took the vehicle to an installer to hard wire the system for dc, solar and shore power.

Hey guys, I've put down a deposit to the one alucab camper Installed. I wanted to explore my awnings options. Does anybody have or can measure those dimensions for me? Would really appreciate it:

Red and yellow so that I can check if the different mounting brackets of different brands fits. Blue so I can check if the bag of a brand XYZ fits or will be a problem when opening etc as I want to mount as high as possible to have the doors flipping up normally.

Additional question, what's behind the wall surface delimited by red and yellow from the inside? Can I drill in this safely?

Thanks!

The Alu-cab brackets are 2" spaced holes. I made an adapter to mount a Rhino Rack 270 Batwing awning that mounts with 4" spaced holes. I can post a couple of pics.

The area you marked in red is the wire chase area. You will need to seal all penetration.

Thank you, I could only find a picture from the right side, not sure which side it’ll be yet. But if left side helps then I can mount it there. What sealing compound should I use?

Here's a picture from a few months ago.
The side door is open.

Just let me know if you need specific pictures.

Also, your going to love it. Alu-cab is a total game changer.

Recommend this camera relocation mount from Mule Expedition.

I added a 1/4" of spacer to it. Plan to add another 1/8" to it later.

 

[ParatusExpeditions]

Thank you @Moriarty ! I've discussed that with Mule them but they don't have a bigger option to accommodate for a second camera so I'll do it myself. I'd like to have a dashcam or electronic rearview mirror and place them above the door both. I think @813 Fabrication & Design has something similar but I could be wrong.

Still interested in the dimensions from the picture in this post if anyone has the chance some days.

Yes, the camera bracket I have available is for the tailgate camera and has holes for another camera mount. I am Using the Brandmotion Fullvue camera and mirror monitor.

Red line - 4"
Yellow line - 78 1/2"
Blue line - 12 1/2" (does not include the stand-off height in the picture that mounts the load bar)

Thank you very much! I’ll start looking around for an offering that fits those dimensions.

I used the same setup as Moriarty. I also used a 1" plastic plug to cover the access hole.

Just reposting this here if that helps anyone.
Thanks for the measurements!
