    Nice vid. I'm tired of pulling a square drop. Been looking at canopy campers. Came down to DirtBox and AluCab for me. As someone who makes a living in the manufacturing space, I greatly enjoy supporting American manufacturers. Once I get my square drop off to its new owner, I'll be buying a DirtBox.

      DirtBox looks like they've got some interesting camper options. I hadn't heard much about them, but checking out their website it looks pretty nice!

    Very nice. If I ever go with a truck, I would like something similar. Until then, my 4runner and a rtt will have to do.

      Hahaha. IIronically the $100 poop shovel got downsized to a $20 poop shovel. The expensive one will stay with the Lexus. Haha.

    • @WheretoNextOverland
      @WheretoNextOverland  2 місяці тому

      They start around $13K -$14K for the camper shell and go up as you pile on the accessories.

    Love the setup. I've been looking at the alucab for my tacoma. Where do you put all your clothes when on a trip? We usually just live out of suitcases, which isn't great. Thanks!

    • @WheretoNextOverland
      @WheretoNextOverland  Місяць тому +1

      @jpking0512 my wife and I each use our own backpack for clothes. I suppose we could prioritize space inside the camper for stuff like that, but it always seems like there is other "stuff" that takes priority in the drawers / cabinets

    I have had 4 nights of running my Dickenson all night long on a relatively low setting without having to get more gas. It was from 0F to 20F each night, it kept me comfortable. The water tank and water pump really do make a difference. Where do you have your fridge?

    • @WheretoNextOverland
      @WheretoNextOverland  2 місяці тому +1

      That's good to hear! Water tank is first on our list of upgrades. On the fence about a water pump ... need to look into it more.
      Fridge is in the backseat. We like it there so we can access food / drink on the road without having to get into the camper.

    • @WheretoNextOverland
      @WheretoNextOverland  3 дні тому

      It weighs ..... a lot probably? The canopy camper itself is about 450lbs I believe. Shocks and leafs have been upgraded, and we've got airbags in the rear.

      Thanks! We bought the truck and camper as you see it (already built). It was all done by OK4WD on the East Coast. Locally (in WA), Mule Expedition Outfitters will be our go-to for any additions we make to the build

  • @dubious6718
    @dubious6718 Місяць тому

    Yes its ultimate expensive.
    It deletes the tailgate and the rear view mirror so you also need a backup camera, and preferably a camera to replace the mirror.

    • @WheretoNextOverland
      @WheretoNextOverland  Місяць тому

      I can't deny ... it does do all of those things. But still the best canopy camper out there, if youre willing to spend the $$ IMO

    Nice rig, I just picked up a used tundra with alucab. Did you have the storage bags on the back door before adding the table and molle?

    • @WheretoNextOverland
      @WheretoNextOverland  2 місяці тому

      @sfbigdawg like you, we bought our Tacoma / AluCab used. Pretty much cane built out just as you see it in the video.
      I've seen some people saying they aren't big fans of the bags on the rear door, but I suppose it all depends on your use case

    The external door latch/padlock seems like a poor locking solution. Someone could come along while you are inside the camper and lock you inside the camper with their own padlock, or with a something jammed into the latch holes.

    • @WheretoNextOverland
      @WheretoNextOverland  23 дні тому

      I thought about that as well, but there is a way to close the door with the latch remaining 'open'. In that position, you can lock the door from the inside, but it cannot be locked from the outside. A bit hard to describe, but they did think of that.
