I like the lowprofile design when compared to the Silenus
It not just lower profile than the Alucab conversion it is also lighter. The documented weight of the Alucab top is 267lb/121.36kg per Brian Fulton the owner of Goose Gear.com. He put his Grenadier on a scale before and after the conversion while confirming the exact same payload and posted images to Instagram. Per Headspace their conversion is 187lb/85kg. That is a difference of 80lb/36.36kg. Not an unsubstantial sum especially as a roof load.
Interesting. Not sure why there would be a big variance. Alucab themselves specify an estimated weight of 100kg. The weight I quoted is based on Insta posts which are linked below. I know Brian personally and these are not fudged numbers. Obviously nothing else can change when weighing the vehicle, ie cargo, fuel, seats etc.

Hi, this is my car that was converted, I spent a week in it over xmas to test it out, all I can say is that it is a game changer for sure as I’m planning a year road trip in July. It’s easy to put up and down and doesn’t squeak or make any noise at all. The quality is superb and yes they are about to partner up with a US supplier. The under mount water tanks can be used as both water or fuel.
Any questions feel free to ask
We’ve got the Alucab conversion and we can attest that it works very well in inclement weather. We’ve been camping in a combination of very wet, very cold and windy weather in Eastern Europe and no issues as yet.
Disagree. Blowing wind and snow comes to mind. The tent canvas looks a bit thinner as well. Honestly the lack of riveting appears to be the only advantage Headspace has over Alu-Cab on that particular front.
