One bakkie,
four jobs

1

A canopy for the week

Folded down, the canopy runs from the back of your Land Cruiser's tray right up to the front of the roof, sitting low and flush with the roofline. Lockable, dust-proof and quiet on the highway.

2

A camper for the weekend

Release the latches and the whole roof lifts on gas struts, over the cab and the tray. Full standing height in the back, a long bed upstairs, mesh windows for the breeze, and steps that pull out from the back all the way to the ground.

3

Everything from the side

Gull-wing hatches on both sides of the canopy swing up into rain-proof awnings with LED lighting, so the kitchen, drawers and fridge slide out where you're standing, not behind the tailgate.

4

Build it your way

Both sides of the canopy take modules, and so does the inside. Lay yours out in the planner below: drag modules around, tap a slide-out to pull it out, and swap them later as your trips change.

Lay out your canopy

Drag modules into the bays on either side, or switch to the top view to plan the inside. Tap a slide-out to pull it out. Your layout is added to your quote request.

Drag a module to move it. Tap a slide-out to pull it out.

The module library

Every bay on both sides takes any side module, and the floor takes the inside inserts. Start with what you need and add more later. Everything locks shut for the road.
