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

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.

|---|---|---|
| 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 |

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.
