Alu-Cab Canopy Camper - Install and initial impressions

[@GetOutGO]

So far, we're loving our Alu-Cab canopy camper!

[@johanneswehrmann]

I’m also super happy with the Alu-Cab LT-50 on the Jimny. Your rig looks fantastic Chris. 🙌🏼

[@GetOutGO]

@@johanneswehrmann thank you!

[@SoulTonicLife]

Cool setup for two...well done! Yes that tent is a bit of luxury every overlander deserves after a long day of driving. I loved your wheel bag with space for the sand tracks.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks, yup, we really love the quick setup! You can get the wheel cover at Outdoor Campers 😎

[@anthonyforgey3518]

That looks like a really practical setup for what you do. Speed of setup and pack up really can't be overstated!

[@GetOutGO]

I think it really suits our needs 💯

[@ElsabeDeVilliers]

Great setup. You will never look back. Just did 8000km Namibie and Botswana with our Landy Alucab Icarus conversion..enjoy!

[@GetOutGO]

Thank you!

[@christopherhusbands6481]

Looking forward to seeing more of your setup moving forward. We are getting ours fitted at the end of October and so excited to fit it out for our needs. ❤

[@GetOutGO]

We’re already enjoying ours, just need those cupboards fitted now

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

Thanks for the review Uncle Chris.😊 this is definitely the life! I can’t imagine how exciting it is to configure your vehicle 🎉

[@GetOutGO]

Thank you! We’re loving it but can’t wait to install the Goose gear cupboards

[@4wdadventureoz]

It certainly offers more space than the dual cab version, wow. My install starts tomorrow 😊

[@GetOutGO]

Nice Glenn, excited to see your build 👌

[@TsavoTouring]

We love ours! Almost 2.5 years and no real problems… the big screens aren’t great and ours could have been sealed a bit better but we sleep in it most nights (maybe 80-85% of the time). I’d definitely like the longer version but with a short 6 y/o we’re good for the moment. Enjoy!

[@GetOutGO]

Loving ours as well! If you’re ever near Outdoor Campers you van get them to seal it better.

[@calvincooke4730]

This video does not do this cool rig justice after seeing it in person🔥🔥🔥 Hoop jy en Vanessa geniet elke oomblik daar buite!

[@GetOutGO]

Dankie Calvin!

[@pmcpmc1257]

Perfect set up! I have the ACCC on a DC Hilux but I think your space is better inside! Keep the videos coming!

[@GetOutGO]

Thank you!

[@doug729]

I like the concept. And you can stand up in it.

[@lehlohonolomafumane2865]

The rig looks great, setup is simple and practical. End your trips Legend❤

[@leonpotgieter4701]

Looking perfect and all the best. Enjoy 👍👍

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Leon!

[@ilankotzin3104]

Thanks for sharing Chris!

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks for watching! 😉

[@obuilephaladi6348]

Great stuff Chris, suit your needs. Thebe.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Thebe!

[@felihledumisa8656]

definitely the crem de la crem accommodation for long term overlanding...

[@GetOutGO]

We think so too! 👍

[@wernerziemerink]

Lyk goed Christof. Enjoy your Alu-Cab.

[@GetOutGO]

Dankie Werner!

[@andrewjaphta4701]

Looks like a great option l, enjoy

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Andrew 👍

[@davidshorrock6471]

Great camper Christoff. Here’s to loads of Adventures. Why not the Khaya Camper which is a full house canopy camper as I understand? What type of solar panel have you fitted? It looks light but still powerful enough!!

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks David! I think the Khaya is more for folks that want to retain their pickup as a work horse and take off the camper when they’re not camping. It’s also designed for mid-size trucks so I think you’d actually lose interior space on a S/C Land Cruiser compared to a Canopy Camper. It’s also a lot heavier (400kg empty, 700 kitted).

[@GetOutGO]

The solar panel is a 380w semi-flexible mounted on correx (for ventilation). Outdoor Campers sell them www.outdoorcampers.co.za/

[@davidshorrock6471]

Thanks Christoff. The Rock9 underbody lights; is that to see predators when you are wild camping or cos they look cool?😎

[@GetOutGO]

More for our slithering friends than predators 😉 but yes, just to see what’s maybe lying below the vehicle…

[@trevorbrewer7906]

Excellent choice 👍 Didn’t see you at the show?

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Trevor! Nope, was the lucky winner of the flu (right at the end of winter🤦‍♂️)

[@maphirimutshutshu2128]

Beautiful ❤

[@Brajosh_]

Thank you so much for sharing really means a lot to us who are still trying to figure out what works.I have been looking at the Infanta Inkunzi set up which I believe may be similar to yours.but I have 3 kids so am thinking for those family camping weekends the Conqueror EUV-25 would probably suit our needs better,any info on that particular trailer?Keep up with the lekker videos

[@GetOutGO]

Our pleasure! I will be taking out 3 different Conqueror caravans soon 👍 Maybe pop in at Outdoor Campers to look at some of these in person as well

[@Brajosh_]

@@GetOutGO sounds a plan,thanks alot

[@markyeadon7271]

Looks good. Have you left the fridge / freeze opening for the inside or have you since turned them so you can access them through the gull wings.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Mark! The fridge faces outwards as you usually want to grab something quickly and the freezer faces inward.

[@CM_Watcher]

Hi Chris, I have a quick question. Did you "fix" the track difference between the front and rear axles on your Land Cruiser, and if so, where di you get it done in SA? Thanks, and keep up the excellent work, love the channel. Cheers, Clint

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Clint 👍 Yes, I installed LAS spacers lasport.co.za/products/las-wheel-spacers/

[@Offroad_namibia]

Hi Christoph, hope you are doing well ❤ I would like to know where in south Africa can I get my vehicle, specifically the LC79 modified, from the top-down. I'm from Namibia and I'm planning to fly over there before December. Your response will be highly appreciate, and thank you for the wonderful content

[@GetOutGO]

Hi, please give a shout on [e-mail]

[@paulsmit8147]

Nice one 🤙👍

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Paul!

[@jefflawson543]

Great video and exciting project Chris - may I ask : the Goose Gear site currently says they do not ship internationally so how are you getting the interior build to SA ?

[@GetOutGO]

Hi Jeff, they’re about to kick off international sales so watch this space 😎

[@jefflawson543]

@@GetOutGO OK many thanks Chris

[@SoftCampingSouthAfrica]

There is one area that this setup is more superior than most, “the ability to get up in the morning, sneak into the lower section for a quick cup of coffee and rusks and look out the window into the open unfenced big 5 wilderness all in the safety of your setup. Nothing other than the troopy conversion can give you that. Period

[@kylerossouw8697]

Looks magic. How is the weight with the alu cab on the cruiser.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Kyle! It’s 253kg so not bad as far as campers go 👌

[@ExperienceWildAfrica]

Very nice setup! Assume the 253kg is for the AluCab setup only excl the tanks, batteries & fridges. I love the setup for those inclement weather days. Just a RTT makes those days... er... regrettable.

[@markusdippenaar331]

Netjies!!!

[@GetOutGO]

@@markusdippenaar331 Dankie Markus!

[@GetOutGO]

@@ExperienceWildAfrica correct, the 253kg is the canopy, awning and shower cube only

[@barrydonald3714]

Hi Christoff just want find out, the Alu cab zip up bags that you have fitted under the bed, are those sold separately from Alucab or is it part of the Camper on purchase?I have an Icarus conversion on my Landy and want to fit the same to the underside of my bed. Thanks and regards Barry.

[@GetOutGO]

Hi Barry, they’re sold separately, you should be able to order them from Outdoor Campers (Centurion) or a Megaworld near you.

[@barrydonald3714]

Thank you so much. Keep up the good work, love your content.

[@josephhayden6749]

I live in the Nevada desert of America, what do you suggest to keep inside cool for our 115 F summers?

[@GetOutGO]

We’re regularly in the Kalahari, also around those temps. We have 2 Sirocco fans and usually try to find some shade. If you then open all the doors with the mozzie nets down it cools down quite a bit. You can look at something like an Ecoflow Wave aircon but the power usage doesn’t make it very practical

[@josephhayden6749]

@@GetOutGO thank you. God bless✌️

[@janhbhugo5085]

Hey guys not to be rude ! I’am in Canada and would be interested in getting something just like that and keep in SA . So my question what is the approx cost of that set up ! Bakkie and the Alucab with all equipment!

[@GetOutGO]

Hi, kitted, you’re probably at around CAD120k

[@rodolfocarvalho3765]

Perfeito :)

[@shanedryden]

I would love to know why Alu-Cab is using white fabric on the inside ceiling of their campers and conversions now!? Do they not know about dusty conditions and the hundreds of mozzies you are going to be swatting over the lifetime of the canopy. For the love of all things pure and good, they need to change back to black!

[@GetOutGO]

I believe it was a supply issue, hopefully they’ll have a dark colour again soon

[@shanedryden]

@@GetOutGO Ok, fair enough. As long as it wasn't intentional 😅
