Seahaul
I thought of the raised dinette floor on my own but don't know if OEV also been considering it. I reached out to them to source two L brackets (same L brackets the support the table when converting the dinette to a bed) to make the platform and to make the suggestion that the height of...
Non camping use? How about being my daily lunchroom. There is a cafeteria in my work building, but lately, I've tried to avoid the group scene. Rather than sitting at my desk and eating lunch, I've been going out to the camper. Nice break and fresh air. As mentioned in previous posts, one of...
I received some goodies from OEV and will be posting them up in the coming days. Roof rack, water tank/battery box compartment lid, decals, L brackets to build a raised dinette floor cubby, runners (like Seahaul showed to adjust camper height on his Tundra-mounted camper for bedrail clearance)...
A few more CAMP-X are in the wild. OEV posted a picture of one mounted on a red 2015 F-150 and on it's way to Ontario. Not sure if the owner is a member here. Also, Scott from 4xpedition.com picked his up here in Bozeman and I had a chance to meet and chat during his install. I believe he'll be...
Seahaul,
Sounds like your water tank cover is the same setup as mine (pictures below). The lid is within the cushion casing and seems like 3/4" - 1" plywood (not sure if it's wood or something else). The cushion itself is then shorter than the adjacent cushion, to account for the thickness of...
We got out for a quick trip Saturday night. Still having a hard time finding anything we don't like about this camper. Seat cushion density and fit and finish of the cushion cases have been the only items needing improvement. Temperature did not get cold. Was about 40 - 45 that night, but with...
I revised a couple of my cabover interior measurements a couple posts ago and have more insight. I pulled out the bedding to get clear pictures of the room available with my 5" mattress in place and I did remove the chrome handle. A couple things to note on the hinge plate: When in the closed...
MuleShoer,
Is that a state law in some states or is the reason a safety concern? I'd not heard of that. This is my CAMPX on my Tundra which shows the overhang same as Seahaul's picture and same as the FWC that I ran for 3 years.
As you mentioned, it's a good of reason as any to get one of the...
We removed our our King Bed extension and have not been taking it with. Turns out, the CAMPX is wider than the FWC and insulated better so no issues sleeping East West. With heads on Drivers side, the rear person (me!) can easily climb over the legs of other person and step down to, or up from...
Rig looks great! You have a different font "CAMP-X" logo on the side than we do. I like them both. Just noticed it is all.
Solar looks great. I assume they ran the wires through the roof down into the same wire loom at the rear of softtop?
Those plastic runners look nice. I effectively did the...
We have one very short overnight trip on the camper so far. That was without the pickup wiring being complete. Will hold off on reporting amp usage until we get another another trip in. RV dealer finally got in Anderson terminals so the wiring could be installed in the pickup. The 6 gauge...
Hi LSA,
I measured and came up with the following:
Measurements within the installed sliding shelf: 17"W x 13.5"D x 17.25"T
Measurements of the cubby if the shelf/slider was removed: 18"W x 15"D x 20.5"T
Martyn,
Good point and something to consider for those that would be greatly concerned with loss of plumbing while traveling. We've happily used a FWC without plumbing for 3 years, so if a leak occurred and we weren't in a position to fix it, I'd simply drain the problematic joint/section and...
Seahaul,
We'll be loading it up Saturday for the first time and plan to do a quick, local shake-out trip this weekend. This will give us a better idea of where we want to organize what. Then we can start shopping for appropriately sized containers. Will be a work in progress for a while, but...
Ableguy,
The step stool is Little Giant brand. They come with a flip up handrail that I removed (drilled out the rivets) as that rail precludes one from stepping forward into the camper. Removal of that rail also removed a bit of weight. Though a bit pricey (shop around for a deal), they are...
Loaded in it's final loaded height. The clearance between top of bedrails and camper is 5/8".
The clearance between the ribs on the pickup roof and the bottom of the camper cabover is 3". That is plenty close for me. I don't recall the exact distance on our FWC but from the eye, it seems about...
Update:
The CAMP-X bed brackets were installed on my Tundra. Brackets are beefy and tall. There may be some occasions they get in the way when using the bed for other truck duties, but shouldn't be too common. They will come in quite handy, as heavy duty tiedowns, more often than they will be...
Good questions and I don't know the answer regarding grounding, but I will note the cable is vinyl wrapped and not bare and the top end is bolted to the aluminum countertop frame. Here is a better image showing both ends and one showing what the cable can touch when door is closed. It mainly can...
I've updated dimensions back on my place holder post (Post #4). Link: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2020-overland-explorer-camp-x-pop-up-camper.214329/#post-2766742
Thanks Stefan. Your thread, at https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/first-trip-in-an-overland-explorer-camp-x.195608/ , is one I've been following for a while. If you have any new insight, I and others following that thread would appreciate updates. Maybe add some more pictures, to that...
