Tacovic, I believe that was only in the 2020 model, like mine, and in the current model, that has been moved/removed for easier access and more storage space under the sink. I'll look for the latest video that I saw... Found it. Check out the updated undersink storage space in this vid. That is...

Nice. What attachment did you use? Did you use a tap and thread into the aluminum? Or drill and use self tapping, perhaps? Can't quite make out the details or your attachment points. Thanks.

I went back and updated Post #199 (<-- link) so readers of that post would get the info immediately, but the update is: "The SOK 206AH battery arrived, and while it will fit in the battery box itself, there is no way to get into the battery box due to the placement of the battery box within the...

At one point on the former spec sheet, the CAMP-HBE listed a gray tank, but that later was removed. Not sure where there would be room since there is no false floor ("basement"). The version in the photos is there prototype unit and it shows an external drain like the CAMP-X. One could build a...

Besides the items you mention such as longer 9' length, lithium batteries standard, etc. there are a few other niceties. The stovetops are induction (electric). The cabin heater is diesel and will draw diesel from the pickup gas tank. Same with the "OEV diesel hydronic system" which I assume...

I've wondered the same thing, about the possibility of a hard-sided CAMP-HBE, over this last year. I did note that their new CAMP-HBE page starts with "The only removable flat bed camper in our entire line up of products. It is only offered in a Pop Up Roof configuration." In any case, the...

New model is rolling out! Specs just released on the overlandex.com website (Update: As of summer 2021, OEV has postponed the BASE-CAMP rollout and removed from their website. They now plan to start offering the BASE-CAMP in the 2022 model year). The BASE-CAMP is a 9' camper that mounts...

New overlandex.com website is rolling out as I type this! Currently, the new site only loads when accessing from a mobile device (phone, tablet); not from my PC. From PC, the main page is still the former site, but all subpage links are broken. I imagine by morning the full rollout will be...

I agree its disappointing to not have the choice of a higher voltage in-series setup built in. Since REDARC can handle 500+ watts in parallel, there is the option of running your four 100watt in parallel. The other benefit of running four 100watt panels in parallel is that shade on one panel...

Great shelving ideas. Since the CAMP-X REDARC manager 30 will handle up to 520watt of 9v - 30v solar input (though the Turn On trigger occurs at/above an open circuit of 17.5v is reached) what is the extra solar controller for? Just a backup? or for some other on-board project? FYI, the stock...

Thanks for the info, @crystalclear ! I'd considered the Renogy batteries as well. The Renogy 170ah is 14" x 6.1" x 10.6" and 48.5lbs for those that want to compare (and, currently on sale on the Renogy site for $1,275 vs the $1,500 MSRP). The Renogy chart shows that one 170AH can handle a 2000w...

Update on the battery decision. When I removed and stored my CAMPX for the winter, I pulled out the 100AH AGM with the intent of replacing it with lithium by spring. It was a VERY tight fit removing it. I saw they have changed the layout within that compartment and moved the shunt and breakers...

I have mixed feelings about the new 20lb horizontal tank as well. Horizontal tanks can be finicky to fill and so often hold less than a 20lb vertical tank. Also, a 20lb vertical tank is very cheap to replace when they expire. Horizontal tanks are about 5 times more expensive (not that the...

Most heater of that type are not vented and so all the burned propane adds a lot of water to the air and the anyone winter camping may experience a lot of condensation from these type of heater if they are not direct vented. Especially if skiing and trying to dry out damp clothes each night...

Correct in that the AGM/lead acid lower charge limit is -13F (-25C) per the manual. That one I've not tested. And I just unhooked my battery so will not get to check the REDARC lower limit this winter when it drops below that. When I answered you above, I had misunderstood your post and thought...

shirk, We didn't get in any sub-freezing camping this year like is typical, and we are bit less humid here in MT, but I can say the only condensation at all was along the metal extrusion along the top which they now cover in a foam tape as a thermal break like they did the side extrusion on...

By REDARCS admission, that isn't correct. The battery sensor was not working per spec. The unit's performance did not match their own literature and users manual. Only the Lithium battery setting should have been cold-temperature limited. No reason to limit all battery chemistry charging do to...

As mentioned, it was an issue with early units. They have remedied as of 2019 and the units will charge each battery chemistry as appropriate. My unit was simply an older unit. REDARC replaced the shunt/battery sensor under warranty, I installed it, and all is good now. Those that buy the latest...

Steve, looks like you about covered it and I saw some others have answered, but will reiterate, the two most important things are draining the water heater and pumping antifreeze through the rest of your plumbing. I'll go into more detail for other owners or potential owners. The techs at...

Skymannnn and ontheroad22, Nice rigs! I see that they included the "Overlandex.com" decal on the rooftop. Guess with the prevalence of drones, it makes sense to have branding on the rooftop as well. Ha.
