Hey Chadx, I get what you are saying. Makes some sense now, I guess we like the windows open with a breeze and this weekend the sun was shining so the camper turned into a greenhouse so well had plastic hanging about with no way to secure them. The wind was blowing them around. Ahh well, minor....
So I have found a weird thing with my camp-x. The windows in the soft walls are great, but the plastic Window is on the outside, then the screen then the insulated fabric layer towards the inside. I dont know why the screen wouldn’t be out. The way it is now you have unzip everything, then let...
I too have a Tundra with Ride rite airbags. Rides great, in fact my buddy borrowed my rig for a drive and was amazed at how smooth it was. (His words.) I use the stock rear leaf pack and have shackles for height and only have to put 35 psi into my bags to make it perfectly level as measured at...
Cool, you should have totally taken the pic! We are heading towards Manitoba tomorrow or Friday, mostly a road trip to a friends cabin but will camp on the way.
Have you thought of doing any bonding to exterior such as fuel carriers or maxtrax mounts? Wonder what they use for bonding?
We got dumped on a few times, both there and back. We are only getting condensation on the roof extrusion, worse above the bed. Other than that we were dry like you explained and the humidity was high and we were only at about 5-8 deg C. I think another narrow thermal break on the roof would...
Will do! We just did a trip to Vancouver Island and back. Stayed in the Camp-X on the road and the boat on the Ocean! The boat isn’t fancy but the camper is !!
Chadx Thanks is for the reminder about the shunt. I have the half receptical in mind also but there is one under the sink too that would always be shore power, to spilt it I would need to run another run of loomex which is not a big deal. The filax would be exactly what you suggested. The big...
Chadx, thanks for the info! The 170 Ah is a Victron AGM, I upgraded right with Overland X so it fits the battery box but its 45kg heavy (99lbs). I also have 170 Watts on the roof.
A couple weeks ago I ordered a Victron 1200 watt inverter that hasn't arrived yet. I'm going to play with that a...
chadx I am looking forward to the raised cubby, is that you own idea? We have the racks too, are you adding the foot steps? We opted for the 170 amp hour agm and 180 w solar. We will see this weekend how that goes, but so far on the previous 3 nights with mixed sun all looks good.
Seahaul.
chadx, mine is exactly like yours. What you said makes sense. Talking to the guys at overland ex, they are always looking for improvement ideas! I’m sure they would accommodate. When I sit on that cushion I wish the table stand was a little further from my knee but I’m not sure if moving it...
chadx, yes they ran the wires with the existing loom and went through at the back in the extrusion. the runners are nice as they attached them to the bottom of the camper by drilling and tapping. The rear step is just Rubbermaid step, but it’s a little too short so we are looking for something...
Got my Camp-x yesterday! Turned out amazing, the solar install was top notch, they used full length powder coated brackets, really pleased. Also got the roof rack. Because the Tundra has tall box sides, they installed heavy duty plastic runners under the camper which turns out to be an extra...
Hello, i get my camper installed next week so i will have actuals. I think 3/4” is going to be too tight But I will check.
Thx.
i will have the same setup as : with a 2016 tundra

Hey chadx, have you got any pictures with stuff in there yet? I’m interested to see how you organize. I bought serial number 15 (3 after yours) but haven’t picked it up yet in Red Deer. I’m doing lots of planning in my head until I get her. We are very excited, they are amazing campers.
I saw the flat bed model and their new aluminum flat bed box. Both look amazing and roomy and I believe they come in a package. I pulled the trigger and purchased one of the camp-x models they had in stock at the wearhouse. They are pretty amazing, a lot of the decision was helped by this post...
