Hi ya my alu cab will be fitted soon, I now have the 400watt ecoflow fold out solar panel to go with my ecoflow delta 2 max and I will have a 400 watt solar panel on the roof as well as the alternator/battery charger. I am not having any propane for my trip as a lot of countries have totally different connections so I will be totally reliant on the delta 2 max. Thank you for this follow up video and I look forward to any updates you have for the future

so how are the camper lights etc wired to the ecoflow? is there a panel in-between the all cab camper lighting and the ecoflow?
@WhatTheHeggАй бұрын
The solar is directly into the EcoFlow (the camper has +\- wires down into the camper). And the rest of the wires (in a prewired harness) are going to a fuse panel - which is powered by a harness we made and powered by the EcoFlow.

What a great review! Do you think it can be used during 90f weather in the summer? Also may we install the camper the opposite way, like open from right to left with awning on the passenger side? Thank you!
@WhatTheHeggАй бұрын
The camper will work in 90F (we actually did summer camping) but I have to say - heat is always rough bc it tests your overall endurance. The awning does great in heat - you can tell the temp difference. We run fans inside the camper bed platform at night. It helps cool. But the campers insulated sides really keeps the warmth in. If you don’t have bugs outside, you can open all 3 windows and mesh. If you have bugs - it’s a little rough. Be hot or get bit. I have seen people flip the door - the handle to open will Just be at the top of the door. You can switch the awning and shower - don’t quote me (check with the dealer) but I believe it will use the hardware from the AluCab Khaya? And the shower can be switched too. I’ve seen it done but you might not get the tree deflector. It was something to that extent. Hope this helps!

Thanks for a great vid!! Such an awesome rig! Please, some questions: -What is the gray item with the flat top and handle on the side, in the back, on the right side opposite of the frig? -What toilet did you opt for? -If you were to build another rig, would you go for a larger bed, like a Tundra, for more space? Happy trails!!
@WhatTheHegg2 ай бұрын
Hey! The flat grey top with handle is our EcoFlow Delta 2 Max - we decided to go with a portable battery system. I can do a whole video on how and why. We got our toilet at REI. It’s the Go Anywhere (briefcase cassette style) - we use it in conjunction with the AluCab Shower Cube for privacy. *using the bathroom inside the camper is up to you and how comfortable you are with your travel partner. When solo - it really is use as you need! If we were to do this build again - I would opt for a Long Bed 6’ Tacoma. As much as we want a Tundra - the full size truck would make it a little more challenging for some locations - limiting our reach. ****but for my 6’5” fiance - it would mean he gets some more room!!! The top tip for picking a rig - is HOW MUCH SPACE we didn’t think about. Every square ft does matter. Hope this helps!

I put the rig on a scale the other day - but it was a pre-loaded weight (empty water tank, empty fridge, no bags packed for 2 people, no extra drinking water, outside fireplace, extra propane…) it came in at totaling 6,520lbs. Suspension currently, Kings 2.0, SPC UCAs, ToyoTires Open Country 295/17, Rays 05x (5 wheels) and a body mount chop (BMC), *OME Heavy / 800lbs - which they are flat at the moment **I will be glad to do a video on suspension - I have actually gone through 2 sets of leafs and going to upgrade once again.

@WhatTheHegg3 ай бұрын
We absolutely love our canopy camper. The best part is you can make it as simple or as accessorized as you like. It fits two up top perfectly! I am 5’1” and my fiance is 6’6” and he can sleep comfortably on his back. We can even leave the hatch open when the Dickinson Heater is on - for the heat to come up to the top. We sleep with a bed topper, down comforter and 2 pillows each. And it all fits in the sleeping area - without having to remove any of it between trips.

Great walk thru of your build, btw I met you at the Toyota meet in San Diego back in November last year. I had just got my alucab a few months before that meet so it was pretty bare at the time. I still need to contact Al to get a build out for the rear storage. The alucab totally blacks out the sun and I have definitely woken up when it’s super bright out already 😂😂😂

@WhatTheHegg4 ай бұрын
The weight on the back with interior has effected the Leaf pack - we currently have OME Heavy but they are flat (aka maxed) - so we are upgrading and want to have atleast a 1000-1200lb capable set. As for off-roading, we’re doing easy to moderate trails - and it’s definitely a base camp now. We have a 4Runner that does all the wheeling and off-roading. The overall weight, I will and need to go get it weighted. I would love to know where that number is now. 😂

Isn't this the same truck I saw on Instagram at KOH here that broke the axle? Doing donuts in sand is nothing. Thing is not as rugged as Elon stans put out there. It's got some* pros, sure, but it's not going to last through the paces of other off-roaders. It's OK* to not be a complete zealot for this thing. To see both sides of the story, be sure to watch a few from "KOH cybertruck", like "watch?v=Vd9a8fN_-oU" shows.
