    Anyone know where and what ones I can get I BC apart from alumcab?
    I got a quote for a alum cab for 16k, seeing if there is other options out there.
    Thanks

    have you looked at RSi Smartcap? I’m still not sure that’s what you are after. But S/S with full wing doors, etc.

    Those are nice caps but I'm looking for a cap with a tent built I to the top of it like the alum cab or the GFC ones

    Sub’d to learn more.

    I'm considering a DIY project because I've had the same issue in my searches. There are options, but only at insane prices.

    Tufports are affordable and high quality. Worth having a look, and they are local to the GVRD.

    Thanks for the link but I don't like that style.i want more of the canopy with a built In tent on the top that pops up, I think I'll either settle on the alum cap or figure out how to get a go fast camper in BC Wich I have no idea how

    Nada… but that could be interesting. I haven’t heard of them, but will be intrigued to see.

    Well depending on the height that you are looking for when the tent is collapsed … I’d say the Smartcap I have is awesome. It needs some help with keeping water from ingressing… but it has a great static load rating.
