    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Yes. I mean no. I mean kind of. Ha. There is, in fact, more "space" in a pickup camper than in the back of an SUV, but you just use it for something different. On your Bronco, your living space is a small (by comparison) compartment folded shut and unusable unless you stop and open it up. And...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    @jaywo We went through a similar decision process as @SimplyAnAdventure and sounds like you are now starting down the same process. You already elaborated on some of your concerns/criteria and those are fairly different than ours, so some of my below points will not apply to you. I'll still...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Sometime before Christmas, I'm meeting with a Montana-based Flagship LT owner with a Battleship Gray camper to see if this Glacier Gray pickup color plays nice with the Battleship Gray color. Will adjust our camper color from white to gray if they compliment one another, otherwise we'll stick...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Factory spray-in bedliner is still a $595 option with the Lariat; so not included in price. Not sure about other trims. Last year, the factory bedliner delayed a lot of orders so I didn't want to risk it nor did my dealership. Turns out, this year there are no delays with Ford factory liner, but...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Yesterday I picked up the 2024 F250 Lariat Supercab we ordered back in July. Color is the new Glacier Gray Tri-coat (light gray with blue tint depending on light). Happy with max payload which is 3,195lb. The 70% side of the rear seat will be removed and replaced with a platform. I went with...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    I think it was discussed in a different thread, but for the benefit of this thread, part of the expansive interior space in a Supertramp is because they chose to have the rear of the camper wider than the wheel well to fill the pickup bed. The front of the camper is narrow enough to fit between...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Superduty arrived at dealership yesterday! Factory winch to be intalled, local bedliner sprayed, and clear bra installed this week and I pick it up Monday. Dealer pic below. Better ones to follow. In the next two weeks (still coordinating), I meet up with a Montana-based Flagship LT owner with...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Indeed! Depends on layout of course. We went through all the pros and cons for various flatbed rigs and as much as we love most layouts, the "camper off solutions" were not insignificant in cost, storage, and twice-a-year changeover time, so decided slide-in design is best for us. If we left...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    10-Roger. I'll mark the calendar! Like you, this rig should also get us through the same 10 to 15 years provided we remain healthy and can continue on the same adventures (and stay capable of crawling into the cabover, in and out of the camper, etc. Shouldn't be an issue, knock on wood, but...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    So much fun talking about everyone's different use cases and rigs. We hammock camped off dual sport motorcycles for years, then bought a 2016 FWC shell and added options of dinnette, heat and stovetop (no water tank or plumbing). Added a chest fridge after a bit of use. Built my own electric...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Kind of a personal choice thing. Not really anything to do with smaller camper size. Similarly, some people build small homes with extremely high end trims. Some build huge homes with extremely low end finishes. Both homes might cost exactly the same in the end and each owner built it to suit...

    Solar controller is 15amp max and DC/DC charger is 30amp. Max factory battery bank is 400Ah. Yes, you'll need to supplement charging if you intend to use A/C more than sparingly and a few days in a row.

    Their electric cabling is a masterpiece. When you toured their facility, did you check out the work area where they wire up everything on the jig? Really neat. As others and I have noted, Victron MPPT 75/15 model (75v max and 15amp max output), is overpaneled. The charger can only output about...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    That is interesting info. I don't recall if it was here or in the Tremor forum that I'd mentioned the early A/C take rate was relatively low but climbing fast. I had wondered what it had grown to. 25, 40, 50%? Thanks for the info. There aren't that many fairly lightweight slide-in, pop-up...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Great looking rig! And congrats! Boggles the mind that 37" tires look so well proportioned on modern day Superduty Tremor pickups. 30 years ago, our "huge oversized tires" were 31x10.5. Now midsize and compact pickups some with those (and have more payload). And 35" can fit on a stock trucks...

    2020 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-X pop-up slide-in pickup camper (renamed "Back Country" as of 2023)

    My Tundra bed height was about 33". For my CAMP-X, the 3 step Little Giant was perfect (the version with the rubber steps is called Safety Step; Little Giant also makes the Jumbo step). The top step is 26.5". That made the step in and out of the camper just right. That varied, of course...

    Megatron - New turnkey expedition vehicle from Supertramp, Elevation Off Grid (EOG) and Liquid Spring

    I submit that if that is the case, that those buyers do understand the definition of "Turnkey". Turnkey simply refers to the unit being a complete, ready-to-drive rig rather than the owner buying a pickup, then sourcing suspension, bumpers, winches, etc. from other manufacturers and having those...

    mixflip, that has a fair number of Supertramp camper walkthroughs throughout the years, caught up with Kelsey at SEMA for a look at the Warthog build.

    Dont tell on me! Ha. JK. He knows I linked. I asked before doing so. He and I originally know each other from the Supertramp Owners FB group and bounce ideas off each other via email nowadays. Fun how a person runs across people you already know in multiple forums and channels. But, pickups...
