Spring time. Time for some pics of campers coming out of hibernation...

Another padlock option is using the one from Bolt. https://www.boltlock.com/locks/padlock Bolt makes the various locks (padlocks, receiver locks, couple pin lock, cable locks, etc.) that you set to your vehicle's ignition key. The pins come ready to set and you insert your vehicle key, firmly...

The change to a 20lb horizontal tank is likely here to stay as the cabinet and hatch design were changed to short and deep. I was thinking about this a bit more and for those that like the two tanks because they pull one out and use it at the campsight for portable cooker or fire ring, one could...

Hi pk22, I'm 6' and my wife is 5' 10" and we sleep E/W very comfortably. The CAMP-X cabover bed is about 76” E/W and 60” front to back. The king pullout extends the front-to-back measurement from 60" to only about 75” so there is actually 1" less length N/S with the king pullout than sleeping...

Wow! Just noticed this access door in your picture! I missed that update. Our version uses the small, round Marine portal. It is quite a contortion to crawl into the under-fridge cabinet and reach through to not only attach but clip shut the Torklift turnbuckle. This is a great improvement...

I can allllllllmost see it from my house. (I'm about 2 driving miles from BigSkyRV). OHMMU is a great solution. 150Ah in that footprint is amazing. I see the rear door hinges on, and opens, opposite of ours. Likely so the doors catch could be mounted on the frame and not interfere with Molle...

As mentioned previously, I determined there was no easy way to fit my SOK 206Ah Lithium battery in the battery box. It would technically fit in the battery box, but would need the battery tray removed, which would be no small task after speaking with OEV. Things are bonded with robust sealants...

Hard to get my bearings on that particular picture, but think I have it. Water tank to the right, battery box below, elbow that goes outside at the left then upward toward outer sidewall. Regarding the plastic screw on flanges not having clearance to turn due to battery box, that's a bummer...

Ha. The long term plan for 200 - 400Ah would be in a CAMP-HBE. In our CAMP-X, we can only do a 100 - 150Ah (whatever Ah one can source in the needed footprint of a Group 31). An Ah expansion option would entail making the under fridge cabinet into a battery and inverter cabinet. That would...

My sole induction experience is with a portable "Duxtop model BT-200DZ (black)", and while we didn't purchase it until the tail end of the camping season, we used it a couple trips and also a few times at home. That was enough that I'm now sold on induction cooktops and want our next camper to...

I spoke with Arnold recently and he said they received approval to no longer vent the battery box nor have a battery box at all as long as they label that only AGM or lithium batteries are allowed (only ventless). So the lack of battery box will allow for easier installation and removal of...

Agreed. OHMMU's lack of reasonable paragraph formatting and punctuation for their "Group 31" battery is a rather frustrating read. Ha. The descriptions on all their other battery types is much better. Of note, since I replied to Shawn, OHMMU now lists this battery as Gen3 rather than Gen2 as...

OHMMU does have a BMS. It mentions it in their description. https://www.ohmmu.com/product-page/gen2group31 I can't imagine a modern lithium without one. I don't think anyone would purchase. I see that Lithionics offers both internal or external BMS. Those external BMS systems look very...

@Crux Here is a link to my post #47 earlier in this thread: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2020-overland-explorer-camp-x-pop-up-slide-in-pickup-camper.214329/page-4#post-2786314 It's a great idea, but from the measurements in my specific CAMP-X, I had about 5.25" from the cabover...

Truma heater is very efficient and the insulation of the CAMP-X panel construction and insulated soft-sides make a big difference compared to aluminum framed pickup campers I've previously owned. And the vented furnace doesn't add condensation to (and remove oxygen from) the living space like...

Hi Shawn, The OHMMU 156Ah battery https://www.ohmmu.com/product-page/gen2group31 seems like a good battery, but I've not been able to find any tear down videos to see in the inside/construction, so hard to compare to the Battleborn or SOK that have been torn down and tested hard. OHMMU...

Here are some of the pertinent REDARC specs copied from the manual. Of note is the GEL and lithium settings will not send current if battery sensor is below 32F. It will also not send current to other battery types below 32F if the voltage is less than 10.5v (because below 10.5v, a lead acid can...

Hi Shawn. What brand lithium was the one OEV offered for $500 that included an internal battery heating element? And how many amp hours? That seems like a crazy good deal if it's 100Ah battery with internal heating element. Then again, that was likely an 'upgrade' price and so is only the price...

Very cool. I've seen a trend of owners putting various manufacturers' slide-in campers on flatbeds. The handy owners often build cabinets/enclosures similar to this or purchased appropriately-sized ready-made containers, tools chests, trunks, etc. to fill in where the bedrails would typically...

You bet. That was just off the top of my head. There may be more. Would be great if OEV kept a file of production changes and the serial number cutoff of those runs. Would make for quick dealer and future used/owner reference and lookup.
