Searched here and elsewhere and can't seem to find anything that lines up.

Very close to snagging a 2023 Mojave semi-locally and planning the build for a solo cross country trip next year.

Truck has a hard top and I'm seriously considering a RTT down the road on a metal bed canopy. Likely a SmartCap but GFC, Dirtbox, and AluCab are also in the running. RTT may be a ways out but I'm leaning more towards a wedge-type.

Has anyone had any issues with the Bestop Sunrider opening and making contact with any RTTs that overhang the cab? Any that are known problems or are not an issue?

For reference, the iKamper Skycamp 3.0's are about 85" long and their BDV wedge is 90". AluCab Gen 3R's are just under 91".

Thanks!

I have a Gldiator Rubicon with Alucab Canopy Camper. Sadly the Bestop sunrider does not work with ACC. The airflow sets up some weird kind of disturbance with ACC on, and although the Sunrider still opens and works as planned when open, when closed it vibrates and thumps and hammers and sounds and looks like its tearing itself apart. It doesn’t work closed at all! I’d love it to work but have sadly not found a way for it to do so.

I had not thought about the wind noise component. Good point. Checked the dimensions on the Canopy, it's another 20+ inches longer than the E3R.

Hmm.

I have skycamp 3.0 ikamper full size and sunrider. no issues, when closed I do recall a thump here and there but nothing consistently annoying, I only experienced that once in UT and it was little windy outside. that was just that one day, regular driving city and freeway I dont hear it.
