THE FULL MODCAP CAMPER EXPERIENCE
Alu-Cab ModCAP Canopy Camper | Full-Size Trucks
Full-size storage below. Expedition sleeping above. Full-height walk-in access at the rear.
The Alu-Cab ModCAP Canopy Camper transforms a full-size pickup into a fully integrated modular adventure platform. The factory tailgate is replaced by a full-height rear door, creating direct walk-in access to the canopy while an integrated 2-person or Family 4-person tent provides your sleeping space above.
Engineered, manufactured and tested in South Africa, ModCAP is designed as a system rather than a collection of unrelated accessories. Start with the camper you need today, then add storage, water, cooking, power and camp equipment as your adventures evolve.
WHY MODCAP?
Turn the Capability of a Full-Size Truck Into a True Camper Platform
Full-size pickups already give you tremendous cargo capacity, interior room and long-distance capability. ModCAP builds on that foundation by combining secure canopy storage and an integrated sleeping system into one purpose-built platform.
The full-height rear door replaces the factory tailgate, opening the back of the truck into a much more usable camper space. Gear remains protected below, your sleeping platform lives above, and the interior can be developed around the way you actually travel.
From weekend trips to long-distance touring and fully equipped overland builds, the same ModCAP platform can grow with you rather than forcing you into one fixed camper configuration.
Built as a Complete Adventure Platform
Full-Height Rear Access
Replacing the factory tailgate with a full-height rear door creates unobstructed access into the canopy and makes loading, unloading and using the camper interior considerably easier.
Integrated Sleeping
Choose the compact ModCAP 2-Person Tent or the expansive Family 4-Person Tent and keep your sleeping system permanently integrated with the camper.
Full-Size Storage Capacity
Take advantage of the larger bed footprint of a full-size pickup for secure equipment storage, camp gear and a more ambitious interior build.
Modular by Design
Add water, storage, kitchen equipment, MOLLE panels, lighting, power and camp accessories as your build develops.
Integrated Roof Rails
Integrated rails provide mounting flexibility for compatible Alu-Cab equipment and accessories as your camper evolves.
South African Built
Engineered, manufactured and tested in South Africa around the demanding conditions that helped establish Alu-Cab's reputation in global overland travel.

ANOTHER WAY INTO MODCAP
Want to Keep Your Factory Tailgate?
The standard ModCAP Canopy Camper shown here replaces the factory tailgate with a full-height walk-in rear door for maximum camper integration.
The new ModCAP Tailgate Edition takes a different approach, retaining the factory tailgate while still combining an Alu-Cab canopy structure with an integrated sleeping system.
Full-size Tailgate Edition configurations are planned for 5.5' and 6.5' beds and will become orderable as Alu-Cab releases the applicable systems for production.
Full Walk-In Camper or Keep Your Factory Tailgate?
These are two approaches to the same ModCAP idea. The right one depends on how you want the back of your truck to function.
| Feature | ModCAP Canopy Camper | ModCAP Tailgate Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Factory Tailgate | Removed | Retained |
| Rear Access | Full-height walk-in rear door | Factory tailgate access |
| Sleeping Options | 2-Person or Family 4-Person | 2-Sleeper or Family 4-Sleeper |
| Best For | Maximum camper integration and interior access | Customers who want to retain traditional pickup functionality |
Weight Specifications
| Component | Approximate Weight |
|---|---|
| Full-Size 5.5' Bed Camper Base | 100 kg (220 lb) |
| Full-Size 6.5' Bed Camper Base | 110 kg (242 lb) |
| ModCAP 2-Person Tent | 140 kg (308 lb) |
| ModCAP Family 4-Person Tent | 172 kg (379 lb) |
Camper base, tent, accessories, cargo, water, batteries, passengers and other equipment all contribute to total vehicle payload. Your complete build should be planned around the payload capacity of your specific truck.

THE CAP-IT TAKE
Full-Size Trucks Give ModCAP Room to Really Work.
A full-size pickup gives you more bed space, more storage potential and the ability to build a genuinely substantial adventure vehicle without moving into a dedicated RV or towing a trailer.
ModCAP makes excellent use of that platform. You get secure truck-bed storage, integrated sleeping space, full-height rear access and the ability to develop the camper around the equipment that matters to you.
For customers who want their full-size truck to remain a truck while becoming a serious travel platform, this is one of the most compelling systems in the Alu-Cab lineup.
