THE FULL MODCAP CAMPER EXPERIENCE

Alu-Cab ModCAP Canopy Camper | Mid-Size Trucks

Secure storage below. Expedition sleeping above. Full-height walk-in access at the rear.

The Alu-Cab ModCAP Canopy Camper transforms your mid-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?

More Than a Canopy. More Integrated Than a Rooftop Tent.

A canopy gives you protected storage. A rooftop tent gives you somewhere to sleep. The ModCAP Canopy Camper was designed to bring both together as one integrated system.

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, the sleeping platform lives above, and the interior can be developed around the way you actually travel.

Weekend trips, long-distance touring or a fully equipped overland build, the same ModCAP platform can evolve with you instead of forcing you to replace the entire system as your needs change.

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 2-person ModCAP Tent or the expansive Family 4-person Tent and keep your sleeping system permanently integrated with the camper.

Modular by Design

Add water, storage, kitchen equipment, MOLLE panels, lighting, power and camp accessories as your build develops.

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.

Integrated Roof Rails

Integrated rails provide mounting flexibility for compatible Alu-Cab accessories and additional equipment as your camper evolves.

Drive-Off Capability

Compatible 5-foot-bed configurations can be paired with the optional ModCAP Drive-Off Base, creating the foundation for a removable camper setup.

Choose How Much Room You Want Upstairs

Both sleeping systems integrate directly into the ModCAP Camper. The choice comes down to how many people you're carrying and how much sleeping space you want once camp is set.

COMPACT + EXPEDITION-READY

ModCAP Tent | 2-Person

The original ModCAP sleeping setup is ideal for solo travellers and couples who prioritize a compact package, quick camp setup and an integrated sleeping platform.

Sleeps 2 adults
Internal access from below

Approximate tent weight: 140 kg (308 lb)

MASSIVE SLEEPING SPACE

ModCAP Family Tent | 4-Person

The side-opening Family Tent turns the ModCAP into a genuine family camper with an enormous 2.0 m x 2.4 m (78.7" x 94.5") sleeping platform.

Sleeps up to 4 adults
Approximately 5 m² (53.8 sq ft) of sleeping space
Larger sleeping footprint than a standard king mattress
Integrated USB, USB-C and 12V power

THE FAMILY TENT

This Is Where ModCAP Gets Seriously Big

Its 2.0 m x 2.4 m (78.7" x 94.5") sleeping platform is larger than the footprint of a standard king-size mattress, giving families significantly more usable room without towing a trailer or moving to a dedicated RV.

NEW MODCAP CAPABILITY

Turn a Compatible ModCAP Into a Drive-Off Camper

The optional ModCAP Drive-Off Base creates a structural floor and modular foundation beneath compatible 5-foot-bed ModCAP systems.

With the appropriate lifting and support equipment, the complete camper can be removed from the pickup. Leave basecamp established while you use the truck, store the camper between adventures, or return the pickup to everyday work and hauling.

Full Walk-In Camper or Keep Your Factory Tailgate?

There are now two ways into the ModCAP camper platform. Neither is simply a different trim level. They approach the back of the truck differently.

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 integration and camper usability	Customers who want to retain their OEM tailgate

Want to keep your factory tailgate?

The new Alu-Cab ModCAP Tailgate Edition Camper retains the truck's OEM tailgate while delivering the ModCAP canopy and integrated sleeping concept above.

Weight Specifications

Component	Approximate Weight
5' Bed Camper Base	80 kg (176 lb)
6' Bed Camper Base	85 kg (187 lb)
ModCAP 2-Person Tent	140 kg (308 lb)
ModCAP Family 4-Person Tent	172 kg (379 lb)
Optional 5' Drive-Off Base	79.8 kg (176 lb)

Payload matters.

Camper base, tent, optional Drive-Off Base, 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.

Build Out the ModCAP Ecosystem

The camper is the foundation. ModCAP is designed to accept a growing range of equipment that lets you develop the interior and campsite around how you actually travel.

ModCAP Drive-Off Base
ModCAP Rear Door Kitchen
Camper Trax Side Table
Rear Door Drop-Down Table
ModCAP Water Tank Kit
Security Window Grids
Interior and exterior MOLLE storage systems
Load bars and rooftop accessories

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

This Is a Camper System, Not a Bolt-On Accessory

The ModCAP mounts directly to the truck bed and replaces the factory tailgate with its full-height rear access door. Correct installation requires proper alignment, mounting, sealing and wiring.

Direct-to-bed mounting is required
Bed liners may require removal or modification
Vehicle fitment should be confirmed before ordering
Professional installation is strongly recommended
Drive-Off configurations require additional payload, lifting and support planning

Cap-it can help confirm the complete configuration, coordinate freight and arrange professional installation at select locations.

Freight and installation are additional.

Online pricing does not include destination freight, installation, lifting equipment or camper support equipment unless specifically stated. Contact Cap-it for a complete installed quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Alu-Cab ModCAP Canopy Camper?

It is a modular aluminum canopy camper system combining secure truck-bed storage with an integrated elevated sleeping system. The standard Canopy Camper replaces the factory tailgate with a full-height rear access door.

What is the difference between the ModCAP Canopy Camper and Tailgate Edition?

The standard ModCAP Canopy Camper removes the OEM tailgate and uses a full-height rear walk-in door. The Tailgate Edition retains the factory tailgate. The standard system is the more integrated camper configuration, while the Tailgate Edition is designed for customers who prefer to keep their original tailgate.

Does ModCAP fit my truck?

This listing covers supported mid-size applications from Chevrolet/GMC, Ford, Jeep, Nissan and Toyota. Select the vehicle-specific filler kit in the configurator above, or contact Cap-it before ordering if you are unsure.

What's the difference between the 2-person and Family Tent?

The standard tent provides a compact sleeping system for two. The Family Tent expands sideways to create a 2.0 m x 2.4 m sleeping platform with room for up to four adults.

Can I remove the ModCAP Camper from my truck?

Compatible configurations can be paired with the optional ModCAP Drive-Off Base. Appropriate lifting and support equipment is required and sold separately unless included in a specific package.

Can I add ModCAP accessories later?

Yes. Modularity is one of the main advantages of the system. Storage, water, cooking, security, power and other compatible equipment can be added as your build evolves.

Does the listed price include installation or freight?

No. Destination freight and installation are additional unless specifically stated. Cap-it can provide a complete quote based on your vehicle, location and selected configuration.

Can Cap-it ship a ModCAP across Canada?

Yes. Cap-it can coordinate Canada-wide freight for ModCAP systems. Freight is quoted separately.

THE CAP-IT TAKE

Build the Truck Around How You Actually Travel.

The attraction of ModCAP isn't simply that it puts a tent on top of a canopy. It's how well the two become one system.

You get secure truck-bed storage, a permanent sleeping platform, full-height rear access and the ability to add the equipment that matters to you without having to start the build over again.

And now there is more choice within ModCAP itself. Keep the fully integrated walk-in configuration offered here, add Drive-Off capability to a compatible build, or choose the Tailgate Edition if retaining the OEM tailgate matters more to you.

That's what makes ModCAP compelling. You're not choosing one fixed camper. You're choosing the platform your camper will grow from.
