That ladder is such an improvement

[@herbzum]

Thanks for all the info. I’m in the USA and I’m about to get my gen 3.1 on my Lexus GX460!

[@cookingsavvy7407]

Great video. I have one of those cheap Chinese ladders and the first time I climbed up it, my feet screamed in pain. Seriously, it's like walking on a knife edge. I immediately vowed never to try that again without shoes on. So, what this gentleman says in the video is EXACTLY right. That black ladder with the angled steps is a game changer. I've also seen a non-collapsible ladder with round rungs, which of course eliminates sharp edges entirely. Another winning approach. Good luck to all in your camping adventures!

You are the best off-road KZbin presenter on the market!

[@robertwilson1827]

Whys that?

[@gabrielmagister6072]

Awesome video, thank you. Those collapsible angled step ladders have been around for a few years now.

[@4motionadventures934]

Top gear. Top vid. Top bloke. Why would u not buy an alucab tent. Now I have to figure out how to Wack it on top of our trakkadu. Maybe on the next build coming soon!!!!! Cheers.

[@dubious6718]

Why not to buy? Cause it cost money...

[@TyFenwick]

Ready for my install !!!

[@AndreBading3382]

Let’s hope the also make a upgrade for the Icarus, not only the tent. The bags on the roof will also be nice to have

[@stephend2662]

Ok, I’m Alucab owner with the old ladder. Where can I get one of the upgraded ladders please?

[@rbarnard264]

Setting up on my 200 bought used. Should I buy rails and what brackets will I need?

[@stevenb9844]

How much does it weigh and what price is it, would've been helpful. Gr8 video guys 🤟🤟

[@jimnicholson5889]

I have a Gen two Allu Cab with the fixed length ladder. Where can I purchase one of those new Allu Cab ladders ? I am in WA and the original supplier in WANGARRA is no longer.

[@malcolmhay6668]

IVAN have you seen what Drifta have done with the telescopic ladder

[@davelang7162]

Great video mate, when do you think these will become available ? Anther question how many load bars do you need across the Rhino Backbone Mount?

[@PeakOffroadEquipment]

Available now. Recommend 3 load bars.

[@jonathanballesteros3327]

Well done!!!

[@Lordoftheflatbush]

Excellent video! Very usefull. Thank you!

[@leardi58]

What would the r value on the 3.1 thanks and safe travels

[@phreak480]

Any word on when these tent upgrades will be added to the Canopy Camper?

[@PaulCoetserBalie]

I assume the weight is pretty similar to the old one? i.e 86kg?

[@lachiewilton9965]

Any chance you can do a review of all the tents that you guys stock?

[@ivanbiscan1587]

There all the tents we have in the show room ....have a look at the showroom tour video ...cheers

[@tonylawton6513]

whats the price on the gen 3.1 is it top secret

[@500bht]

Will this version 3.1 be available with the canopy camper?

[@HammerRocks]

Not that I'd buy an iKamper as I prefer alloy shell RTTs, but they (iKamper) have been using that style of extendable ladder (ie. level steps) for a couple of years now. The rest are just catching up to them now.

[@marzi321]

Nevertheless, ikamper stuff is way Overpriced. You get much more for your money from most other roof top tent manufacturers, instead of ikamper. Terrible price-performance ratio.

[@drorharel7362]

IKamper never invented nothing, RTT are more then 40yo, a German company name Auto Camp made the sane style tent for over 30 years, and there ladder is a simple ladder that you can found in every hardware shop

[@prakashgajjar7940]

Excellent thanks

[@juz1017]

Hi, is the alucab Khaya available in Australia?

[@helbergiovanimoreira8561]

🆗🤩 muito bem valeu super legal mesmo 👍

[@herbzum]

What’s the name of the shovel mount on the tent?

[@ivanbiscan1587]

There called quick fist clamps!....lots of different sizes...and the shovel is a fiskars super light weight...

[@herbzum]

@@ivanbiscan1587 I already own some quick fists for my shovel. I guess they just drilled through the alucab to mount them. Wasn’t sure if it was a specific mount.

[@henri7359]

Can't make up my mind between the 3.1 and the bundutec. Our daughter is 5, and in the bundutec I can sleep head to toe with my wife to make space for her.

[@0088tjw]

I cant be the only person who thinks this is a well designed but cheapish built hard shell roof top tent. In reference, check out the bush company Alpha.. seems to be much better thought out and same price

[@VeryCoolJeep]

I like my Bush Company Alpha better

[@driverhired]

A little racist with the cheap Chinese made ladder comments and several references in this video. Could be a little more thoughtful with the commentary. Made in China does not mean cheap or inferior. You mean to say the design of the new ladder from AluCab is better right?

[@creative_partner]

I'm Asian and it's perfectly fine to say Chinese crap. Don't need white savior defending my ego, honor, etc. Thanks.

[@robertwilson1827]

😄😄😄

[@ati573]

Over priced

[@danielchoi6477]

Bigot perhaps?
