RSI Smart Cap EVO A installed, let the accessorizing begin!

[Rick R]

I recently had a local truck parts dealer order and install an RSI Smart Cap EVO A on my F150 and now I’m plotting all the neat stuff I can attach to it.
Eventually, after my wife is over what it cost.

Initially I’d like to find something that drapes over the rear topper door in the up position and down past the tailgate in the down position for when I want to camp in it. There is the Topper Tent but I’m curious if I’ve missed any similar product.

Probably the next bits to add will be a roof rack and a 270° awning.

FWIW I made a 300 mile trip the week before getting the Smart Cap and then turned around the next week and made the exact same trip again. The onboard computer said 25 mpg without the cap and 24.6 mpg with it. Pretty much within the variance of my lead footedness from day to day.

That topper tent looks pretty clever for a quickly deployable solution.

I have been using a Kelty Sideroads awning to give me covered space outside the truck to keep gear out of the rain and sun while I sleep inside. Works well and let's you have the free access to the tailgate and rear hatch. Also works well off the sides of the cap if you want the flexibility. The tradeoff is it takes a few mins to set up with collapsible poles like a tent.

If you want more coverage Kelty also makes the Back road awning which has sides you can drop down for more privacy/coverage.

The Backroads setup looks pretty nifty! Thanks for the info!
I’ll keep it in mind.
