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

    I only have one vent/fan over the kitchen and so far it's been fine. But I haven't used my Camp-X in the summer yet, so we'll see. I would get both factory installed if you have the option. As far as the Molle rack, I would get both sides on the back too. Very versatile for maxtraxx, extra...

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

    It was definitely winterized - lots of pink fluid was coming out when I was testing the pump. I took apart the pieces of pipe that I could unscrew and learned a lot more about pex and plumbing than I ever wanted to know. Apparently there are 3 different styles of crimps (rings, caps, and...

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

    Well that is disappointing. Filled up the water tank for the first time since purchasing from the dealer and noticed a leak between the blue line coming out of the water tank and the drain valve to the outside. I was able to take out the section of blue pipe between the water pump and the...

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

    Thanks for the insights chadx - definitely gives me more to ponder. I haven't had a chance to take the mattress out and take a look, so your measurements help. The hinge appears to be the Achilles heel with any kind of under bed storage system. The only other option I can think of off the top...

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

    Thinking about ways to squeeze more storage out of the Camp-X.... has anyone considered building a 4-6" tall platform with gas struts like the FWC Flatbed Hawk? This would provide a ton of storage for clothes under the bed. See this video at 3:28 Could be something really basic like this...

    Modern truck camper for an adventurous family of five?

    If you pack like you are backpacking and have an external setup (like a CLAM screened enclosure) you'll really only use the camper for sleeping. Not sure how you'll figure out the AC tho - maybe a portal unit hooked to a small generator?

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    I've just started researching truck campers (currently in a land cruiser), and your reply was really helpful. I'm thinking of going with a RAM 3500 gasser since it's slightly shorter for better break over when 4wheeling. Curious how you made your choice of a Ford? Also, doesn't the fridge and...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    This might be an interesting option to mount bikes to the rear ladder, using Lolo rack carrier hooks: https://loloracks.com/store/bicycle-carrier-hook I've got the hitch mount six bike rack and really like it. Also, what are your thoughts on the new NuCamp Cirrus 620 - light, short, modern...

    The quest for the perfect family (5 of us) overlanding/camping setup....

    That's interesting. I've never seen a FWC on a trailer. Are you able to mount a rack for bikes on the roof of the FWC?

    The quest for the perfect family (5 of us) overlanding/camping setup....

    Interesting thread - I've got the similar dilemma with a family of 5. Kids are starting to get bigger and we recently got into mountain biking around Colorado. So now we have 5 bikes to lug around. Our current setup : Landcruiser LC100 with lift, 35" tires, and sliders Thule Flow cargo box...

    Did you get the gas struts or the hand crank for your OverRoam RTT? How much does it weigh? Any experience camping with it yet? Thanks
