I think we were only around 8,500ft at this campsite. The main road through this range is up above the treeline and around 10,000ft.

Our "Happy third of July" trip (had to work on July 5 so did a Sunday night trip. "Drive until we hit the snow line, then setup camp". Forest service road, in the background of image one, was blocked by 150+' snow drift, but we made it to this spot, which we frequent. Last picture is the...

Yep, sitting a touch too low to clear that bolt. You mention the buck on the other side may sit on the rib rather than between the rips. You have a picture of the bed floor showing where the passenger side puck sat? If the passenger side puck was on a rib rather than between like on the drivers...

Local overnight trip in late June. About 1/5 of our planned/intended dispersed spots don't work out (occupied, not what I expected from map/research, we took a different route, etc.) and we end up someplace unplanned. I'm a planner by nature, but over the years, have gotten better at just...

Thanks for the update, Paul! Glad you had such a great trip. How about an image or two? My next pickup will be an HD as well, whether we stick with the CAMP-X or change to a flatbed camper. I'm due for another truck in a couple years (like to get 9 to 11 years out of my pickups), but in the...

It's been said before, but I also want AT Overland to make a pop-up version of this so bad I can hardly stand it! I know they previously have said they have no intention. Maybe we can wear them down over time. Ha. This interior layout is in my top 2. Hard side version simply won't fit, height...

I can't answer your question, but wanted to mention we did an Orcas Island trip in our previous pop-up camper. Ours was our first pickup/camper ferry trip which was neat. It was a rainy Sept. trip and mopping up 1/4" of standing water (condensation; not a leak) from under our mattress was what...

Good tip. I had that occur one time in the last couple years and did the same to resolve. Since it's only been once, I wasn't able to determine what I was doing at the time it happened. Do you recall? Or was it just that way when you went to use it?

Truma AquaGo water heater has a few different modes. If the various settings (ECO, COMFORT, etc.) are not available via your Truma controller, the Truma controller was probably powered up the first time with the truma heater itself powered off and/or no water in it and/or propane valve not open...

Love it! That doggy pool looks like the perfect basin. Four or five of the 3m hooks and shock cord around the top of the shower curtains seems to be a common and non-permanent, non-intrusive method. Plus, the vent is right overhead. Will be watching to see what ingenious method you employ...so...

Shower curtain setup will be fairly straightforward, but very interested in what you use for a shower basin and how you drain it (be that during or afterwards). A hard sided storage tub? Cooler? Half barrel? Some type of soft membrane to make storage easier?

Yep, looks about right. Flatbed Hawk is 60" tall closed including the vent so about the same 58" not counting vent as CAMP-HBE. I dug around and found a couple side profiles of the CAMP-HBE on a pickup and so went back and adjusted my second drawing above to have a more realistic hitch height...

The specs say the softwall basecamp has an option for a "cabin to cab pass through – sliding glass window on front cabin wall". So looks like that is only a sliding window. Not sure if the hardwall basecamp will only have the sliding window option or a full walkthrough, but guessing only the...

Here is a quick representation of 77" long bike hanging vertical behind the camper just to give an idea how low a vertically hanging bike would be. I think a custom receiver extension, angled up at 45degrees (second image), will allow at least the same, but likely better, departure angle than...

1up makes a rack designed for vertical use as do several other manufacturers. If I was going vertical, I'd use one of those. But if any of the vertical racks had the bikes stick up above the top of the camper, that would also be a No Go for us since, as mentioned, we often contend with overhead...

Crux, Like you say, one would need, at a minimun an extension to allow the handlebars to clear the rear CAMP-HBE kick out if using a horizontal bike rack. We love our 1up rack and I'd look for, or have custom made, an extension that has a 1:1 rise:extension ratio to keep departure angle high...

They will not be related. There will be a hardwall and softwall BASE-CAMP (exactly the same as one another except for the pop-top vs. hardwall). The Summit line is a completely different model and will be heavier, longer, wider, with thicker composite walls, different interior layout, etc. and...

@victorc With your 3" lift and 37" tires on your Ram/flatbed/CAMP-HBE setup, can you take two measurements? One from flat/firm ground to the top of the closed popup front corner of the camper and another from flat/firm ground to the closed popup rear corner? And then an approximate height of...

The bowen website has some good images and it's a great idea for those that want to use a slide-in layout camper that sits lower than it would on a flatbed. Great that there are more and more options and choices out there! In our case, the primary reasons that we'd consider changing to a HBE...

Some differences, based on the previous Summits, are: Length (Base Camp is 9'. Previous Summit's were 10.5' and 12') Width: Base camp is 78" wide exterior and Summits were 84" wide. Thicker walls. Base camp 1.5"/38mm walls. Summit's had 2.1"/54mm thick walls. Interior layout, Interior...
