For something that is turnkey, this is a bargain. GLWS!!!

Pretty penny for sure. I think OEV was floating around their 2024 HBE demo unit for sale. I'm not sure how much it was exactly but perhaps you could have it for a bit of a discount and they may even be more open to offers on it. Could save you a few extra $$$ or get some freebies added on.

Do you have any interior pictures?

Looks amazing!!!

I wonder if it has something to do with the owner and event management company that now runs Overland Expo. It certainly changed from a small social gathering to a more corporate type of event. I'm not sure how connected Expedition Portal/Overland Journal are to Overland Expo anymore. FWIW...

Just curious but what kind of mat/pad did you use between your camper and the flatbed?

@COAKXterra I have a 22’ Ram 2500 Big horn with the CTD. May door jam payload was 2200lbs. I have a flatbed hardside camper on it and I’m scared to weigh it but I’d estimate it weighs 1800lbs or so. My flatbed is aluminum is was only a 40lb penalty over stock. I too was worried about payload...

@adam88 What happened to this post? Has anyone else gotten an email from Outpost saying this? Given that Outpost has a long line of deposits, orders and they are building and moving into a new and larger facility from a recent post on IG I really question the validity of your email from...

I won't have as in-depth of an opinion here but after owning 2 5th gens and sitting in the recent 6th gen I could not see myself in a 6th gen. I don't mind the plastic interior, the 5th gen uses plenty of plastic but it's the quality of material that's extremely questionable in the 6G. The...

From the sounds of it I think it's in the pipeline. I wouldn't be surprised if for 2026 they have an 8ft option available.

Gosh this thing is a work of art. This is a 100/10 DIY job. :love:

Good choice. Honestly you can’t go wrong with a Supertramp. They make a very good and robust camper. I don’t think you can do a king size bed in the LT because of where the lift actuators are located. Personally after having a hard side camper it would be difficult for me to go with a...

Which camper did you decide to go with after going to the show? Personally I’m not a fan of the Alaskan campers. The interiors look like they were built in the 70’s and looks like they have stayed that way. There also isn’t much sitting space in the smaller model either.

There's no way of me to know every manufacturers specific specs, materials and methods. That's not the argument here. My comment was more addressed to the OP who had concerns about composite camper builders who use panels, extrusions and adhesives versus single or two piece fiberglass campers...

I wouldn’t be worried about the shell and construction methods. If you look around, pretty much all the composite campers are built the same way. Composite panels joined at the edges with extrusion and adhesives. OEV, Total Composites, Cascadia Composites, Lemker Overland, Globetrekker etc...
