I take Shadow the 2021 Ram Rebel on it's first camping trip with the Alucab / Alucabin truck canopy camper. Due to all of the trailheads in the immediate area being closed due to high amounts of snowfall, I had to camp in the parking lot of a ski resort. Winter snow camping in a Lot due to desperation, basically.

@flyfisher530 Год назад

I also wake up late in my Alucab RTT because it is able to block out the light! Love that feature - plus being able to reposition my vehicle while the tent is deployed - great for nights where you want to turn into the wind or find a more level spot. Great video Ed - can;t wait to see what you do next with Shadow.

@KrokemOutdoors Год назад

I can definitely see this helping during the summer when the sun sets a bit too late or rises a bit too early 😂. Yeah, not having to break down the tent to reposition the vehicle is a huge convenience! 🍻

@radamshome 8 месяцев назад

First thing when you woke up is you got your drone out and flew around your truck with the snow all over it. Such a cool view of your rig, and I'm sure it's not what you wanted to do when you woke up, ha! Much respect!

@TrailNewbie Год назад

Man, all kinds of jealous with that setup! So comfortable looking! My 2 fav parts of the video: 1) when the crow lands on the branch behind you, 2) the minor slip off the ladder near the end. 👊🏼👏🏼 Love it buddy, looking forward to meeting up later this month! 👏🏼

Love that set up Ed. I can't wait to see you build it out and how the storage works. Especially when you take the family along, which will limit what goes in the back seat. I run into the same challenge.

Agree with you, whenever I bring the family, I find myself packing up so much more gear. Also will need to find space to lay down the pack’n’play for the younger baby on the truck bed

@Islandoverlander Год назад

Nice setup. The lifesaver Gerry can should be protected from freezing as it may compromise the integrity of the membrane filter. Make sure you do an integrity check. Stay safe.

@OJHobs Год назад

Instead of two power units you can do that dual battery and isolator set up you were interested. It frees up space and alleviates having to make sure the units are charged.

@jinoh7418 8 месяцев назад

I'm familiar with dual battery setups, but I still prefer having 2 batteries. Being portable is a big benefit for me. Also many people mount a solar panel and plug to the battery to ensure its always full.

@roaming-aus Год назад

I use a step that attaches to the tow hitch so no need for a ladder. To get into bed I fitted cupboards that I can step on to get in the bed.

@erichughes9098 Год назад

@christopheranderson8619 Год назад

You're not new to the game so I'm sure you won't rush the build. Very happy with mine but there are a couple changes I would and can still make. The Alu-Cabin with its living space and easy setup/breakdown is super convenient. Maybe we will cross paths this summer/fall as I'm headed in your direction. I utilized an RV ladder from Amazon placing the brackets on the large bed edge which still allows the short piece to close. I'm an old guy so this was much nicer than climbing on cabinets etc. Looking forward to following along!

@KrokemOutdoors Год назад

What changes would you make?

@christopheranderson8619 Год назад

@@KrokemOutdoors I’d add a bed rug or havelock wool to give some insulation to the floor. I’d choose to install a Webasto heater plumbed to the fuel tank vs the Dickerson allowing heat to be lower to the floor and thermostat controlled. I’d also opt for heated batteries or blanket wrap heater to assist with winter temps here in NH There are aspects of the Goose Gear cabinets that I wish were different such as small hatch access and no divider options between cabinets but the quality is top notch. I opted for an Expedition Essentials EXO Table for my stove prep setup as I did not want to take up space storing a stove elsewhere to only place in drop down table. Hard to come by currently but I scored one online used in great condition. Also the remote deadbolt by 813 Fab while not necessary sure is convenient. As these were my decisions certainly no complaints with Alu-Cab or OK4WD. Absolutely love the ease and livability of the Alu-Cabin. Enjoy the build process and I’m excited to see what direction you go in. Never critical of anyone’s build but rather enjoy the different options folks utilize.

I want to ask, have you changed the front and back gears? I have a 2023 Rebel 4x4, and I have an overland build on my truck. I get about 9 miles per gallon. It's because I couldn't regear the front and back ring and pinion. Currently, I have 3.92 gears, but I want to change them to 4.88. Do you know where to get those gears, or can you explain what I can do to improve my mileage?
