Looks very nice, although the rear side windows should be twice as big to not feel claustrophobic (similar to Nimbl)

2900+ dry weight without any bells or whistles, so a 350/3500 might not have enough payload after gear, water, people, etc. Might need a 450/4500?

Agreed, if HW HBE doesn’t materialize, might have to look to TC + BEAR.

Just for fun - a rough photochop of Victors rig, imagining what the hardwall HBE might look like:

I spent some time in the Aterra at an expo this summer. I really liked the space and layout, especially the 3 windows surrounding the dinette…but the upper bed was cramped and coffin like compared to OEV. The toilet was weirdly located under the dinette seat (it didn’t slide out). It was also...

Looks like OEV got some marketing help. The Camp-X was renamed to "Back Country", the FX to "Alpine", etc. Now they just need a website make-over by a professional design company ;)

I’ve had a Camp-X for 2 years, in lots of rain, and zero leaks from the windows.

Ahh - that would make more sense to bolt the anchors through the flatbed and even to the frame

Saw the Bowen flatbed at overland expo this weekend. The craftsmanship is amazing and the utility of having side boxes with a slide in, but at stock bed height is fantastic. My only reservation is the attachment points. Using four small L-track d-rings to secure a 1500-2200 lb truck camper...

How does this truck handle offroad? Is there much sway back and forth? Also, what's the total height with the 37" tires?

OEV Camp-X or HBE with gurney bed option?

What truck camper manufacturers would now make the top of the list for reliability and customer support?

Still tinkering with the shower setup, but mounted the shower head to the big white hinge. Then poked it through the curtain. The button on the shower head turns the water on/off - so hands free like a regular shower!

I’m going to experiment with three different basins. One is a black plastic bus boy bin, another is a tall clear plastic bin, and the last is a doggy pool. I am thinking the doggy pool will work best because it packs down small and has a side drain. Ideally I can hook a hose to the side and...

Starting to piece together my inside shower setup for when we don’t feel like showering outside in the cold after a bike ride:

Interesting… I’m not sure how the dimensions of the Hawk flatbed compare, but I was thinking it would look something more like this :

Interesting - so the above version of the hard wall Base Camp (9?) for sale has a pass thru. But sounds like that option maybe only be available on the Summit going forward?

I’ve been researching this 1up vertical mount that some of the sprinter van crowd use. It looks like the attachment points are adjustable, but not sure if there is enough vertical space on the rear HBE molle rack to securely mount the rack and support the bike…but maybe…

If you were to get the HBE how would you carry mountain bikes? An extended hitch extension with bike rack to avoid the rear HBE kick out? Or mount vertical bike racks to the rear molle racks?

If OEV is making a hard walled Base Camp, then what will be the difference between that and the Summit?
