Mods to my Gomad Alu Canopy

Post by Derren »

Just over a year later after getting my alu canopy from Gomad, I've had the following work done by Ciske/Gomad.

Added a removable "roof-rack" with my second-hand eezi-awn purchase of a month ago.

It's removable so I can close my garage door. Need to change the garage door to a roller door type instead of the flip up type but that is money rather spent on my Hilux.

Finally got round to having boxes made for my rear side doors - left and right.
Also changed the one side door that used to open down to open up.

Then Gomad made a table to fit on the inside of the roof of the canopy. A verify nifty table with gas-struts for the fold-out legs.

Looking in from the back Engel 40l fridge currently goes on the right hand side with a battery next to it against the side.

So far not sure about the rest...

The truck slide will be coming out but only after my trip to Kruger mid-July and just have a fridge slide.

Money in the bank won't be 1% the fun than money in your truck.
