Alu-Cab Interior Roof Drop-Down Table
A proper table when you need it. Completely out of the way when you do not.
Turn Unused Roof Space Into a Working Surface
The Alu-Cab Interior Roof Drop-Down Table mounts overhead inside compatible Alu-Cab rooftop tents, campers and roof conversions, then lowers in seconds when you need a solid surface.
Use it for morning coffee, meals, maps, a laptop, cards or smaller camp essentials, then fold it back against the roof when it is time to sleep or move around.
Space inside a rooftop tent or compact camper is valuable. A conventional freestanding table takes up floor space, must be carried separately and usually ends up outside when the weather is at its worst.
The Alu-Cab Interior Drop-Down Table solves that problem by storing against the interior roof. Release the retaining straps, lower the table to the desired position and create a useful surface without unloading another piece of camp furniture.
When you are finished, raise it back into place and the sleeping area is clear again.
Use the space above you without sacrificing the space around you.
A Table Built Into Your Camp
The Drop-Down Table creates a dedicated interior surface exactly where it is most useful. It is close enough to reach from the mattress or seating area, but it does not permanently occupy valuable living space.
- Interior roof-mounted design
- Folds flat overhead when stored
- Drops down quickly when required
- Adjustable hanging height using the support straps
- Stable surface for meals, drinks, maps and electronics
- Does not require floor space or separate storage
- Suitable for compatible rooftop tents, campers and roof conversions
- Updated mounting brackets improve compatibility across the Alu-Cab range
Small Accessory, Big Difference
It may look simple, but having a flat, dedicated surface inside the tent changes how comfortably you can eat, work, organize gear or wait out poor weather.
Coffee Table, Desk, Dining Table and Gear Station
The Interior Drop-Down Table adapts to whatever camp requires at that moment.
- Set down morning coffee without balancing it on the mattress
- Create a compact interior dining surface
- Use a laptop or tablet while working remotely
- Review maps, routes and weather information
- Organize cameras, chargers and smaller electronics
- Play cards or games during poor weather
- Keep personal items off the sleeping surface
- Create a convenient bedside surface at night
Cap-it Take: this is one of the most practical interior upgrades Alu-Cab makes. Once you have a proper surface inside the tent or camper, you will wonder how you managed without it.
Pair It With the Alu-Cab Backrest
Inside a compatible GEN 3-R or GEN 3.1 rooftop tent, the Drop-Down Table pairs perfectly with the Alu-Cab Backrest.
The Backrest gives you an adjustable, supportive seating position, while the table creates a working or dining surface in front of you. Together, they transform the rooftop tent into a comfortable interior lounge, office or dining area.
Build the GEN 3-R Interior Lounge
Sit upright, open your laptop, eat a meal or watch a movie from inside the tent without leaning against the canvas or balancing everything on the mattress.
The Backrest is a separate accessory and is compatible with the GEN 3-R and GEN 3.1 rooftop tents. It is not required to use the Drop-Down Table in other compatible campers or roof conversions.
Compatible Alu-Cab Products
The current Interior Drop-Down Table uses updated mounting brackets with additional mounting positions, allowing it to fit a wide range of Alu-Cab sleeping and camper systems.
- Alu-Cab GEN 3-R Rooftop Tent
- Alu-Cab GEN 3.1 Rooftop Tent
- Alu-Cab Canopy Camper
- Alu-Cab ModCAP Camper, including the standard 2-sleeper camper configuration

Fitment note: mounting position and installation hardware vary by product. Confirm your exact Alu-Cab model before ordering, particularly on earlier tents, campers or roof conversions.
A Smart Upgrade for the ModCAP 2-Sleeper
The standard Alu-Cab ModCAP Camper is a two-sleeper system with internal access between the canopy and sleeping area. The Interior Drop-Down Table adds a useful surface inside that compact living space without requiring permanent cabinetry or using floor space.
It is especially useful when the weather keeps you inside, giving you somewhere to eat, work, organize equipment or set down personal items while retaining the open, modular feel of the ModCAP.
ModCAP advantage: the table adds interior functionality without committing the camper to a large fixed furniture system, keeping the build light, adaptable and easy to customize.
Quick to Use, Easy to Store
The table is secured against the interior roof while travelling or sleeping. When required, release the retaining straps and lower the table into position.
The support straps allow the table height and angle to be adjusted to suit the installation and how you are using the space.
When you are finished, remove everything from the surface, lift the table and secure it back against the roof.
- Stores flat against the interior roof
- Deploys without removing it from the tent or camper
- Strap-supported design allows height adjustment
- Leaves the mattress and floor clear when stored
- No separate table bag or exterior storage location required
Installation
The table mounts to compatible structural points inside the tent, camper or roof conversion using the supplied brackets and hardware.
The current bracket design includes additional mounting holes to support multiple Alu-Cab product configurations. Correct bracket position and alignment depend on the product being fitted.

- Updated brackets support multiple mounting configurations
- Installation hardware is included
- Correct alignment is required for secure storage and smooth operation
- Mounting hardware should be inspected periodically
Professional installation is available through participating Cap-it locations, or capable owners can install the table by following the appropriate Alu-Cab fitment instructions.
