Snow Camping in Parking Lot - New Gear Testing - Alucabin Canopy Camper First Use
Рет қаралды 43,638
Жыл бұрынI take Shadow the 2021 Ram Rebel on it's first camping trip with the Alucab / Alucabin truck canopy camper. Due to all of the trailheads in the immediate area being closed due to high amounts of snowfall, I had to camp in the parking lot of a ski resort. Winter snow camping in a Lot due to desperation, basically.

I also wake up late in my Alucab RTT because it is able to block out the light! Love that feature - plus being able to reposition my vehicle while the tent is deployed - great for nights where you want to turn into the wind or find a more level spot. Great video Ed - can;t wait to see what you do next with Shadow.

It's because I couldn't regear the front and back ring and pinion. Currently, I have 3.92 gears, but I want to change them to 4.88. Do you know where to get those gears, or can you explain what I can do to improve my mileage?

You're not new to the game so I'm sure you won't rush the build. Very happy with mine but there are a couple changes I would and can still make. The Alu-Cabin with its living space and easy setup/breakdown is super convenient. Maybe we will cross paths this summer/fall as I'm headed in your direction. I utilized an RV ladder from Amazon placing the brackets on the large bed edge which still allows the short piece to close. I'm an old guy so this was much nicer than climbing on cabinets etc. Looking forward to following along!

@@KrokemOutdoors I’d add a bed rug or havelock wool to give some insulation to the floor. I’d choose to install a Webasto heater plumbed to the fuel tank vs the Dickerson allowing heat to be lower to the floor and thermostat controlled. I’d also opt for heated batteries or blanket wrap heater to assist with winter temps here in NH There are aspects of the Goose Gear cabinets that I wish were different such as small hatch access and no divider options between cabinets but the quality is top notch. I opted for an Expedition Essentials EXO Table for my stove prep setup as I did not want to take up space storing a stove elsewhere to only place in drop down table. Hard to come by currently but I scored one online used in great condition. Also the remote deadbolt by 813 Fab while not necessary sure is convenient. As these were my decisions certainly no complaints with Alu-Cab or OK4WD. Absolutely love the ease and livability of the Alu-Cabin. Enjoy the build process and I’m excited to see what direction you go in. Never critical of anyone’s build but rather enjoy the different options folks utilize.
