SOLD: 2020 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-X slide-in, pop-up pickup camper (pickup not included). Note: OEV renamed the CAMP-X model to the Backcountry as of the 2023 model year. Located in Bozeman, MT. Selling our wonderful CAMP-X to start a new project on a different pickup. This...

I started out ONLY using the side plug with a portable (suitcase) panel because our CAMP-X didn't come with rooftop solar panel. Portal panels work very well with 30 foot extension cables when you park in the shade and want to locate your panel in the sun. Plus, a portable panel you can angle...

I think I'm following now. My confusion was due to my unfamiliarity of the new battery box, inverter shelf layout since mine is an older cabin. So, if the location for the inverter is on the flat area, shown in your picture above, rather than within the battery box, then yes, you would have...

@Zach_F Will also mentioned it's a reasonable idea to precharge the inverter capacitor prior to connecting, particular with lithium batteries that have such low internal resistance and can dump huge amount of power quickly. Not as necessary if the inverter is around 1500 watts or smaller, but...

You'll still need to get the negative cable through the cabinet wall and over to the shunt or the energy the inverter draws won't be read by your REDARC and your State of Charge, will read incorrect (higher than actual) any time you use your inverter. Or, I may be misunderstanding your proposed...

Since you'll be drilling from the battery box side, best to simply disconnect and remove the battery(s) and the tray. Lay down a shop towel or paper towels to catch the bulk of the shavings. Vacuum with a shop vac afterards. Most of your shavings should stay on the battery box side so easy to...

Agreed that many overland/offroad-capable campers aren't used to their potential and can be more of a "romantic explorer notion". Ha. Similar examples are lifted/big tired pickups and SUV that never go off pavement, or top of the line MTB that are far more capable than the rider (I'm guilty of...

Because you just...won't...listen. Ha. :D You ask why people choose a pop-up over hard sided and if it's a look thing, then receive pages of answers and examples of why people choose pop-ups over hard sided (none of which were for looks) and then make a conclusion ("So it's a looks thing") that...

Nice core sampel Nice 'core sample'. I assume it's a 120v outlet coming off your inverter? Would be interested in seeing which outlet you chose and where you located it (to keep grime out of it and still be convenient). I don't have a inverter in our CAMP-X, but am getting to the point where...

Yea, drilling and tapping threads into the aluminum extrusions is what makes me a might nervous. It's the best spot and what the factory MOLLE panels bolt into, and is how all the add-on L track is being mounted. I have not reached out to OEV and asked if the composite panes would support X...

Took a few searches to find them, so for everyone's clicking pleasure...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MW8RNWY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2S5B6THPJKA58&psc=1 (Odd. The site converts my link to blank if I make it a clickable link. Sorry, you'll have to copy and paste) I love the idea of...

Nice! How about some specs? Looks like 2023 F350 Tremor?

Starting a conversation about OEV camper mounting hardware. @DesertT4R and I started discussing and it has me curious how the brackets have evolved since our 2020 camper was fitted as well as the mounting/backer plate and attachment points. I know that some camper brands, like our previous...

We did our annual spring UT trip in early-mid April. This year it was Natural Bridges, Valley of the Gods, Monument Valley, some mountain roads (turned around by snow), Long Canyon Road, Dead Horse point, Canyonlands (Needles, White Rim Road), etc. No campgrounds; all dispersed camping as usual...

I use a strap tied to the front bracket rather than crawling up there to pull it down. I don't use the "close it up and vent the fans" method. I just leave the back door and/or window and vent open if they already happen to be. When standing at the back of the camper, I pull the strap attached...

Our 2020 makes that noise. It's a cross between a water drip and a bird chirping. Maybe a bird imitating a water drip? Ha. Never really noticed it the first year, but these last couple it's seemed to be louder or more noticeable. Makes it slow when only the heater or water heater are on and...

While everyone likes a nice looking rig over an ugly one, we HEAVILY weight function and performance over looks. Everyone weights their list of must-haves and nice-to-haves differently as everything is a compromise (is that a dirty word nowadays? Seems like that word is fading from common...

Wouldn't be a bad idea to add the optional $30 "Stainless security torx hardware" rather than the standard "Stainless button head hardware". A bit less likely a "cat burglar" will have the security torx bit along. They don't say what the standard button head hardware uses, but probably hex...

Good point. Probably so. I forgot about the Alpine. Ha. The Alpine has the extra-tall cabover and side walls compared to the Hudson. The Hudson has a much shorter cabover (though it does still have a short underbed storage option. Interior headroom of Alpine, while open, is 82" vs the Hudson...

I like that there are three flatbed popup shells: First two are like the 6.75' and 8' hudson bay in that the 6.75' has a kickout to make it 8' long in the upper dinette area. But, there is a third choice that is 6.85' and has no kickout. That gives it the same cabin interior length as the...
