MODCAP FOR FOUR
Alu-Cab ModCAP Family Camper
Four-person sleeping capacity. Nearly 5 m² of sleeping space. Still mounted on your pickup.
The Alu-Cab ModCAP Family Camper takes the modular ModCAP platform and solves one of the biggest challenges in truck-based camping: where does everyone sleep?
Its side-opening Family Tent creates an enormous elevated sleeping platform measuring approximately 2.0 m x 2.4 m (78.7" x 94.5"), giving families, couples who want serious room, and multi-person adventure crews a sleeping area larger than a standard king-size mattress.
Below it, the ModCAP canopy provides secure truck-bed storage and full-height rear access. Above it, you have room for up to four adults. One integrated Alu-Cab camper system, built around considerably more space.
WHY THE FAMILY CAMPER?
Because a Family Adventure Shouldn't Require a Second Tent.
Most truck campers and rooftop tents work exceptionally well for one or two people. Add children, friends or more than two adults and the usual answer is another ground tent, another rooftop tent or a trailer.
The ModCAP Family Camper approaches that problem differently. Its side-opening roof expands beyond the footprint of the truck to create nearly 5 m² (53.8 sq ft) of sleeping area above the canopy.
Everyone sleeps in the same integrated camper, while the truck bed below remains available for protected equipment, clothing, cooking gear and everything else that comes with travelling as a family.
Built Around More Room
Massive Sleeping Platform
Approximately 2000 x 2400 mm of sleeping space provides substantially more room than conventional two-person rooftop tents.
Side-Opening Design
The tent expands sideways from the ModCAP roof, dramatically increasing sleeping area without requiring a larger truck-bed footprint.
Integrated Power
Built-in USB, USB-C and 12V outlets provide convenient charging and accessory power inside the sleeping area.
Dual-Colour Lighting
Two red/white LED lights with independent switches provide useful interior illumination without requiring separate camp lights.
Built for Real Weather
Heavy-duty ripstop canvas, heat-reflective flysheet, ventilation and a marine-grade clear PVC skylight are designed around serious touring use.
Part of ModCAP
The Family Camper remains part of the larger ModCAP ecosystem, allowing storage, water, cooking, power and camp equipment to evolve around the same platform.
PUT THE SIZE IN PERSPECTIVE
Bigger Than a King-Size Mattress.
A standard North American king mattress measures approximately 76" x 80".
The ModCAP Family sleeping platform measures approximately 78.7" x 94.5".
That extra length matters when four people are sharing the space, when children grow, or when two adults simply want the kind of room usually associated with a much larger camper.

NEED TWO BEDS, NOT FOUR?
The Standard ModCAP Camper May Be the Better Fit.
This page is deliberately focused on the Family 4-Person Camper. If you don't need the additional sleeping space, the standard ModCAP 2-Person Tent provides a more compact camper configuration using the same modular concept.
WANT TO KEEP YOUR FACTORY TAILGATE?
The Family Tent Is Also Part of the Tailgate Edition Story.
The standard ModCAP Family Camper uses the full-height rear-door camper configuration. The newer ModCAP Tailgate Edition takes a different approach, retaining the factory pickup tailgate while still offering a Family 4-Sleeper configuration.
Approximate Base Weights
The Family Tent is only one component of the complete camper. Total installed weight depends on the selected ModCAP base and the rest of your build.
| ModCAP Base | Approximate Weight |
|---|---|
| Mid-Size 5' Bed | 80 kg / 176 lb |
| Mid-Size 6' Bed | 85 kg / 187 lb |
| Full-Size 5.5' Bed | 100 kg / 220 lb |
| Full-Size 6.5' Bed | 110 kg / 243 lb |
The ModCAP base, Family Tent, accessories, water, batteries, food, cargo, passengers and other equipment all contribute to vehicle payload. The complete build should be planned around the payload capacity of your specific truck.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Configure the Complete System Before It Goes on the Truck.
ModCAP is a vehicle-specific camper system. Bed length, truck application, base configuration, side panels, sleeping system and payload all need to work together.
- Vehicle fitment should be confirmed before ordering
- Professional installation is strongly recommended
- Direct-to-bed mounting requires proper alignment and sealing
- Bed liners may require removal or modification

THE CAP-IT TAKE
This Changes What's Possible With a Truck Camper.
Two-person rooftop sleeping has been solved in a hundred different ways. Four-person sleeping on a pickup without towing something behind you is a much more difficult problem.
That's why we think the Family Camper deserves its own page. The extra space isn't a minor upgrade. It changes who can realistically use the truck as their complete camping platform.
A couple gets an enormous sleeping area. A family can stay together in one camper. A group can travel without adding another tent or trailer to the equation.
If sleeping capacity is the reason a conventional truck camper setup hasn't worked for you, the ModCAP Family is the version we'd look at first.
