The Alu-Cab LT-50 Walkthrough | New Lightweight Tent

[@flyfisher530]

Having an Alucab Gen 3.1 I can attest to the high quality you can expect with any product from this company!

[@alu_cab]

Thank you!

[@templar1694]

This great for someone that loves a nomadic minimalist lifestyle.

[@robertsegura6451]

Love how beautifully it fit's on the Suzuki Jimny, to bad we can't get one in America.

[@joshuanicholson420]

Exciting product. Gotta say this is what I am after. Not too big or heavy; it doesn’t need all the features, just a place to sleep. I don’t even need a ladder. I was seriously considering buying another rtt this weekend, I May now need to hold out until the Australian dealers can provide some details, price and delivery times.

[@alu_cab]

That's great to hear, Joshua! Just in time 😄

[@Hep-Chics]

Does the LT-50 comes with a Ladder

[@notoffroading]

​@Fresh Veggie Market nope everything is extra so the price really isn't cheap after buying everything needed like ladder, mounting brackets

[@alu_cab]

@@Hep-Chics No, the ladder is an additional accessory, you can choose between the 2m ladder or the 2.6m ladder, depending on your vehicle.

[@jeremyharris4415]

That model looks great Jeremy at least you can put it on a Jimny with out the worry about been over weight on top of your roof

[@therenaissancetinker2972]

Can’t wait to see the lightweight awning!

[@oaitsemoremi5657]

They now have a 2M 270 awning,i believe is light than the 2.6m one they have been manufacturing

[@OutThereEquipped]

Lovely work on this!

[@Toubabou]

Oh dear, finally what I was looking for 😮 What a great looking product

[@JahazielCruzPLUS]

I am excited to learn that this is what I was looking for, however the presenter does not look to be too happy and enthusiastic , LOL anyways this is a COOL tent, I will be purchasing this shortly.

[@insom4539]

Great looking tent! Does it come with a condensation mat?

[@alu_cab]

Thank you! No, it does not come with a condensation mat.

[@majers_abroad]

pure awesomeness ,....love it. ill be ordering one in the future

[@betweenthepines4000]

Saw this at the outdoor show here in Canada two days ago. Obviously another excellent example of Alu cab quality. One this I noticed is the roof is not as steep as the gen3. Curious the reason for this

[@red6743]

I would assume to lessen the amount of fabric and thus keep that lower profile design when closed.

[@jakemetz1742]

can you mount an awning to this tent?

[@JonkerAdventures]

Luv it. Gonna get it for my 80

[@tvr9757]

Would love to know the dimmensions in a diagram, Interested to fit solar panels between transversal bars that are onb top of the tent....

[@petoichi-san]

Great tent. Looks perfect for my Jimny. I have one question regarding the mattress. Would you say there is enough space to put a 10 cm mattress in there? 6 cm is mostly to thin for me as a side sleeper.

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! Yes, that would be possible. The tent will still be able to close, but you will not be able to leave any bedding inside when closing the tent. The 6cm mattress allows space for light bedding to stay in the tent when closing.

[@sinistra328]

Looks great but only for a single person at 1085 x 2070MM. Is a wide model in the pipeline?

[@alu_cab]

Not at this stage, for a wider version, our Gen 3-R rooftop tent might be better suited.

[@justinstamp2041]

As a Toyota Rav4 owner. This is perfect for me. Love your company and all the videos on youtube, especially the warehouse video. Seeing the production, quality and the love for your products. Anyway. I will be buying this early next year. To catch the full season in the UK. My main question is this. I do love the simple design, keeping it light and slim. The only thing I would personally miss, comparing with the other models. Are the pockets provided to organise items. For example. The pockets that a placed on the insulated aluminium frame. So to my question. Would this be an available accessory to install as a post purchase ? Like the rain fly. If so, this would be the ultimate perfect cabin. I know most would make do, by attaching pockets onto the inner straps either side. But the centre pockets above the head would be the icing on the cake. Also, my other question. Hope you dont mind me asking. Where the triangle logo is stitched. Is this the same access point, where one can insert a diesel heater for example. Another icing on the cake if so. Still a very beautiful. Simplistic design that I love, still keeping the important fundamentals of roof tent camping. Thank you and look forward to your reoly. Excellent videos and loving this lite version 👌🏻

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We are in the process of developing additional pockets for the LT-50 and these should be available soon. Unfortunately the triangle logo is branding and the LT-50 does not come with a heater vent. I will make sure to send your comment to our R&D team!

[@chipoplouss]

I see that it has the rails on the side to mount awings. But is it possible to use the rails as mounting points for gutter mounted cars?

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! We do offer Gutter Feet that can be used to mount the LT-50 with our Load Bars - www.alu-cab.com/product/gutter-feet/

[@ChibaCityBlues]

I would love to have the opposite of this. An XL version. 30cm longer and with a really thick and comfortable mattress. We are travelling full time and I am 2 metres tall. It would be amazing to have an AluCab tent that would work for that.

[@KA-pq3yz]

Very nice. Any dealers in Ontario,Canada? Thanks

[@alu_cab]

Indeed! You can reach out to redbearoutdoors.ca/wordpress/

[@looping844sb7]

Will it have a back rest and a drop down table like the gen 3r ? I try to find the lightest possible roof top tent for the hard top of my land cruiser 73 but with minimum of confort to for overlanding week-end and sometime 1 or 2 week

[@alu_cab]

Hi there, no it will not have the Back Rest and Drop-down Table at this stage. Sounds like the LT-50 is a good solution for what you want to do!

[@challengeronrift]

Can these be put onto an Audi TT? (Roof rack distance is 56cm😔)

[@richardeneriz4659]

I'm interested in your tent. I have a 23 Ford Maverick does you. Do you guys carry a tent that works on that track

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! Our LT-50 can be fitted to your vehicle with the correct roof rack/rail system, that will support the tent's weight.

[@spellerlittlewing]

Excellent

[@Brad_Jenkins]

I need this

[@leoyamyamin3447]

can this be installed together with an awning or need to remove the awning? TIA

[@alu_cab]

We are working on a lightweight awning that can be mounted directly to the tent. Otherwise, our normal 270 Degree Shadow Awnings can still be mounted by using our 1450mm Load Bars and mounting the awning directly to that with our specific Awning to Load Bar brackets.

[@fringelunatic]

When is this coming to the states? I have the canopy and wanted something slimmer to put on top. Price seems to be right too.

[@alu_cab]

Check with your nearest dealer on lead times and availability www.alu-cab.com/dealer-locator/

[@taprackboom1]

Will this tent have the heater inlet like the Gen 3-R? It looks like this model has one but the one on the website and preview video does not.

[@alu_cab]

No, it does not include a heater inlet at this stage. The patch on the side is just for extra branding.

[@sonofamountain2862]

How much does this lightweight weigh??

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! The lightweight weighs 52kgs, this includes the mattress.

[@romulusoverland314]

Can I put two 20lb mountain bike + bike rack on top?

[@alu_cab]

The LT-50 can carry up to 30kg/60lb of gear on top. You may just have to remove the gear before opening the tent.

[@davenaicker2753]

Are they available in South Africa

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! Yes, they are available in South Africa through our distributors, 4x4 Mega World.

[@zakariyyayusufsalajee6561]

Would you be able to enter from a rear door mounted ladder on a Jimny

[@alu_cab]

You might need to maneuver yourself a bit to get in, but it shouldn't be a problem. We haven't tested it though, will let you know when we do!

[@mr_outlived]

Exactly what I thought, I have front runner rear ladder on Jimny, so I was thinking, if it can be used as access point. But cant see any reakn why, its just slight angle

[@davidsimpson7740]

So the fly sheet/rain cover is not part of the deal & has to be bought separately? How much? Also no mention of interior lighting or power outlets inside tent

[@alu_cab]

Yes, the fly sheet can be bought separately. As we have found that many people do not actually use their flysheet and we would rather offer it as an optional extra for the LT-50. The LT-50 does not have lighting or power outlets inside the tent like the Gen 3-R. This is a more basic rooftop tent solution - it also keeps the price down. Pricing depends on where you are located and can be found at your nearest dealer (www.alu-cab.com/product/lt-50-lightweight-rooftop-tent/)..

[@davidsimpson7740]

@@alu_cab Keeping the price down? It hasn’t arrived here in Australia yet but Ironman will be stocking them & they are priced at around $4500 AUD that’s without rain cover/flysheet which costs an extra $160. Also the ladder that comes with it is only 2.0 metres,not tall enough for my Ford Ranger that has a lift kit,add on another $150 for the ladder extension & I’m looking at nearly $5000 AUD for your basic tent

[@dmontes84]

How much is it?

[@alu_cab]

Pricing depends on where you are located because of shipping and duties. You can get pricing from your nearest dealer by using the Dealer Locator on our website: www.alu-cab.com/dealer-locator/

[@hybridirongolfer8584]

what the thickness folded?

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! The closed height of the LT-50 is 172mm

[@MuggsFJ]

Can you move the location of the load bars?

[@alu_cab]

The first Load Bar has to be placed about 300mm from the front of the tent (hinged side). Then we advise the space between the Load Bars to be 700-1100mm

[@MuggsFJ]

@@alu_cab so I can fit a Maxtrax bracket to the load bars? That way I can still use the maxtrax pins. Thanks.

[@alu_cab]

@@MuggsFJ Apologies, my initial comment focused on the Load Bar positioning when mounting the tent to the vehicle. The two bars seen on the tent in the video is a fixed structure but Load Bars can be added anywhere on the tent additionally and a max trax tray can be mounted.

@@alu_cab are the movable cargo rails available in Australia yet? I cannot find them on the AluCab site.

Can two 6'3 people fit in this?

[@alu_cab]

You would be able to fit, but it would be very snug and you would most probably not be able to sleep with your legs extended.

[@jfn3362]

As a south african i am quite frustrated by this product. Not in the quality which is excellent, but at how difficult it is to get everything when buying this online. No brackets are included and not sold separately online. I also bought the 270 awning with side panels and there were no extra poles included. In none of the products where any fitment instructions.

[@alu_cab]

Hi there! We are sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you have had with our products. All our fitment instructions can be found via a QR code on the box or on our website -www.alu-cab.com/fitment-instructions/ . We offer a variety of brackets as there are different roof racks to mount our products to, that is why they are sold separately. Thus, the customer can decide on which brackets they need. Extra awning poles can be ordered as spares, as our 270 Awning is actually a free-standing awning. Our South African distributors, 4x4 Mega World, or the dealer you ordered the tent from, will be able to assist with clearing up these frustrations!

[@jfn3362]

@@alu_cab Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately mega world only sell the awning sides as you supply them, so i don’t have the option of buying the poles for them separately. I don’t live close to a mega store and have to buy online. I had a look at a american online store which sells the poles as part of the sides.Even the presentation video made by Alu Cab shows the extra poles fitted? If it’s about the cost then add the poles and lift the price. I now have to make a plan to get the poles but not sure how??
