Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Basic — Double Cab / Short Bed, Black

Short Product Summary

The Canopy Camper Basic is a black canopy camper unit for double-cab, short-bed trucks. It covers the essentials: a double-layer tent, internal lighting, USB charging and wiring ready for a solar panel, plus roof rails for extra gear.

Why This Product

Some campers want a shelter and a secure load space without a long list of extras. The Basic keeps to what you need on the road, with lighting, charging and a good tent, and leaves room for you to build the rest your own way. Because it is a do-it-yourself camper, you decide how to kit out the inside.

Key Features

• Double-layer 400gsm ripstop tent – UV resistant canvas for the sleeping area
• Full vertical rear door – can carry a 33-inch tyre and gives easy access to the load space
• Side-access canopy doors – reach your kit from the sides as well as the back
• Integrated roof rails – carry extra gear on top
• Internal access – move between the canopy and the tent from inside
• Lighting and USB power – internal lighting, plus USB and Type C points
• Pre-wired for solar – wiring is in place, panel not included

Ideal For

• Double-cab, short-bed owners who want a camper unit without a heavy upfront fit-out
• DIY builders who want to add their own interior kit
• Weekend and long-trip campers who need reliable shelter and a secure load space
• Overlanders adding solar later since the wiring is already there

How heavy is it?

Does it fit mid-size and full-size trucks?

Does my bed liner need to come out?
The mounting hardware connects directly to the truck bed, so the liner needs to be removed or modified. Ask us about installation and warranty.
