Our Alu-cab Camper Builds

Sharing the learnings, tips and tricks, and failures of perfecting our overland travel set up

See Projects

We are a couple who loves vehicle-based adventure travel. Eric is on his 6th season with Mountain State Overland and we’ve traveled coast to coast and all the way up to Alaska in our Alu-cab equipped trucks.

Who are we?

We’ve built two trucks:

2021 Toyota Tundra with Alu-cab Modcap 2-Sleeper

Built in 2024 with my wife, Rachael, in our driveway. You can watch the full 10-part series on the Mountain State Overland Youtube Channel!

2018 Toyota Tacoma with Alu-cab Canopy Camper

Built in 2021 and hydro-locked in 2024. The camper was sold and the truck went to the salvage yard!
