Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

[RealMcCoy]

Any pics from the back? Also, what size tires?

Here are a couple more photos. My tires are 35" on 20" Fuel rims.....plan on going to 17" wheels since the Fuel wheels are more street than off-road.
I also have the Mopar 2" lift and I think it rides great on 35" tires. No sagging that I can tell but still need to add the water tank. Once that is done it's time to weigh the bad boy.

Curious if you're going to have your rig weighed?

This is a customers JT. It’s still at the shop getting more product installed. Not sure what the plan is, but more mods are coming.

As for me, I just placed a custom order for a ecodiesel yesterday. Now I just have to wait a few months ugh.

Anyone with an Alu-Cab Canopy Camper — how are you insuring it? Do you have a camper policy separate from your Jeep? Or did you increase the replacement value of your Jeep to include the camper? I'm interested in all the details — insurance company, deductible, coverage, etc.

Not quit the camper, but with USAA and the Alu-Cab canopy , I sent them copy of my invoice, they increased the insured value by that amount. No increase in premium. they said the same thing applies for a camper. Premium increase depends on the value of the cap/camper

I’m with Cincinnati Ins and added a rider to the Jeep to cover and additional $15k

Black dog! If you’re in CO I’d be happy to meet up and show you my set up.
Send me a PM.
We tend to do moderate to hard trails with ours on the Mopar 2”.

Did you install yourself or have it installed by a dealer? Just moved to CO. Temporarily in BV. Thanks.

sorry for the delay in replying.
I had it installed at Juniper Overland in Denver. Great guys and easy to do business with.

still loving this setup and can’t wait to get some cabinets installed. GG has them now, but of course, funds are now the issue.

Good to hear. Thank you for your response. I’ll go visit those folks.

I purchased a canopy camper demo unit from Front Range Gear. I haven't picked it up yet, but here are pics from install this weekend. My first priority (besides getting out and using it ) is to design/fab a bracket relocating the OEM backup camera. Not going to go crazy with cabinet buildout as I want to keep the weight down. Stay tuned for more pics.

Picked up my ACCC about two weeks ago, we love it.
it gets bags in the rear coils Wednesday to see if it will help with the sag, and then a 2.5“ lift and 35s in the next few weeks if not.

I have the oem camera temporarily mounted in the gap left from where the camera cable came out of the body. I have three ideas for a permanent mount:
-a custom bracket (worried about it not being waterproof)
-putting it in a small Pelican box and mounting to the door or rear side panel. I have cut a hole in a small Tupperware container as a practice piece to see how well it works before cutting into a $22 pelican case, need to play with it tonight.
or
-cutting a hole in the door or rear side panel the same as was in the tailgate and mounting it with the oem brackets.

I like thought of mounting it directly in the door or side panel since it would be the cleanest, but it worries me a little if I ever had to change it. The panel is replaceable, though not easily I do not think.

How much is the heater?

This is the first one we are installing in an Alu-Cab, so we haven't figured out pricing just yet. Normally we install them in Four Wheel Campers as an upgrade.

Looking good and congrats!
If anyone finds a good solution for the rear camera please let me know.

I would like a little bracket to go the rear license plate if possible.
Or maybe the gap between the rear bumper and bottom of door.

I know the lines won’t match the height of the old tailgate location.
