A fully integrated canopy and rooftop tent system, one unit, permanently mounted, always ready. Basic and Deluxe for Australian utes, 79 Series LandCruiser, and American full-size trucks.
The Alu-Cab Canopy Camper is not a rooftop tent strapped to a canopy. It's a single, purpose-engineered unit, canopy, sleeping area, internal access, LED lighting, solar wiring, and roof rails all integrated from the factory. Mount it once. Use it every time you go.
No external ladder. No climbing in the rain. You access the sleeping area from inside the canopy through an internal hatch, standing height in the living space below, mattress and shelter above.
Lighter, more compact, and better dust-sealed. The Canopy Camper keeps your 4WD agile and gives you greater usable storage with a proper sleeping system built in.
Mounting kits for most dual-cab and extra-cab utes, 79 Series LandCruiser (single and dual cab), and American full-size trucks in short and long bed. We confirm fitment at enquiry.
Two ranges. Four models. Select your platform to see the full spec.

Build quality that earns it on the track.
Engineered for serious adventurers using the best materials and smartest design available, not a budget conversion.
Canopy and tent are one engineered system. No aftermarket bracket, no adaptor rail, no compatibility compromise.
UV-resistant, breathable, fly mesh on all tent windows. Built for Australian conditions, high UV, dust, and temperature extremes.
The full living space stays clean and dry on corrugated outback tracks. Sealed design, not a weatherproofed afterthought.
Enter the sleeping area from inside the canopy via an internal hatch. No external ladder. No climbing in the rain or the dark.
With the bed lifted, you have a proper standing space inside the tub, not a crouch-and-crawl setup. Real livability on extended trips.
Rust-free, strong, and lighter than steel. Important when you're managing GVM on a dual-cab ute already carrying accessories.
We supply and workshop-fit Alu-Cab Canopy Campers and Alu-Cabin campers from our Kotara, NSW workshop. Customers travel from across NSW for fitment that's done properly, not just dropped off and picked up.
The Canopy Camper mounts directly to your tub. A poorly mounted unit will move, rattle, and leak dust on corrugated tracks. We fit it once, properly.

⚖️ Weight & GVM. Know Your Numbers Before Fitment
The Basic weighs 210kg. The Deluxe is 250kg. Add a Drive-Off Base (80kg), rear door kitchen, water tank, fridge, and dual battery, and you're carrying real payload on a dual-cab ute. On a stock Ranger or Hilux with a bullbar and tow bar already fitted, that margin shrinks fast.
We run GVM assessments at quote stage and can pair a Lovells GVM upgrade with your Canopy Camper fitment. Raise it at enquiry, don't fit the camper and work it out later.
