Canopy Styles
Camper Ute Canopies
A canopy set up to live out of. Power, water, sleeping and storage that survives a season of corrugations instead of one trip.

Built for the road you actually drive
A camper canopy is a touring rig, not a work canopy with a fridge in it. The loads are different, the vibration is relentless and everything you mount has to still be tight after 3,000km of dirt.
We build the shell from marine-grade aluminium, brace the roof for the tent and rack load before it goes on, and set the internals out around how you actually camp: fridge on a slide, kitchen accessible from outside, water where it does not upset the balance.
Tell us where you go and how long you stay out. A weekend rig and a three-month lap of the country are two different builds and it is cheaper to get that right up front.
Touring Spec
What goes into a camper canopy
- Roof braced and rated for a rooftop tent, rack or solar
- Dual battery, DC-DC charging and 12V outlets
- Water tank, plumbing and external tap
- Fridge slide, drawers and a slide-out kitchen if you want one
- Sealed and dust-rated doors — the real test of a touring canopy
- Awning mounting done properly, not screwed to a wall
- Recovery gear, jerry can and spare wheel mounting
- Weight worked against your GVM before anything gets built
FAQ
Camper canopy questions
Can you build a canopy for a rooftop tent?
Yes. Tell us the tent weight and footprint at quote stage and we brace the roof for it. Retrofitting bracing to a finished canopy is far more expensive.
Will it keep dust out on dirt roads?
That is what door rubbers, drained channels and pressure equalisation are for. A cheap canopy will fill with bulldust; a properly sealed one will not.
How much weight does a touring fitout add?
More than people expect once you add water, batteries, a fridge and recovery gear. We calculate it against your GVM before we start and tell you if the numbers do not work.
Can I use it for work during the week?
Plenty of our customers do. Say so early and we will design the internals so the touring gear comes out and the work gear goes in without a fight.
