Homemade DIY Ute (Truck) canopy camper with buit in rooftop tent

A tour around a Ute canopy I’ve made at home with a built in rooftop tent that folds out of the canopy roof.
I made this so we would have something quick and easy to take camping.
I encourage having a go and doing these sort of things yourself, even if it doesn’t turn out to look professional you will learn heaps!

    Like it! Similar to a Flippac. What type of hinge do you use to allow the roof to swing over and become the floor of the sleeping compartment? It will have the weight of two adults and one child in it yet it seems to hang over the cab with no support. The Flippac uses a torsion bar to achieve that effect. How did you do it?

    I think that you can soften aluminum by putting soot on it and then heating it enough to burn off the soot.

    Very very interesting.. I wanted to make a streamline sloping down bed cover but now I realize, thanks to you that I can flip that over the cab with maybe support poles on the front bumper… Thank you for neat unit.

    Nicely done and I don’t mean to take anything away from that, it has certainly been nicely put together, but the design…
    Whilst you’ve got lots of ‘living space’ you’re very limited on ‘storage space’. Like, where do you store the mattress, or where’s the kitchen? Because you need to climb into the alum box, the use of that floor space must be kept clear when the top is popped and used.

    Putting a clear plastic hatch to the cabin from the bed would really make it cool. what does it weigh
