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?

A lower flatbed would be nice so the slide-in Camp-X doesn’t have such a big gap with the cab. Do you know general cost for the Bowen flatbed? (I’m assuming they could figure out a way to mount a Camp-X)

Hard to decide which direction to go. Definitely pros and cons for each model. Below is my back of the napkin math on the cost of each. 53k Camp-X (43k), upgrades/install (10k) 76k Camp-X (43k), flatbed (12k), storage boxes (6k), upgrades/install (15k) 85k Camp-FX (58k), flatbed (12k)...

What did you think of the shower / toilet cabinet? Would it be easy to clean the shower grate/drain?

Anyone notice the new side mounting system on ether side of the big window for surfboards or a ladder?

The extra storage is really nice. Looks like they had to make the side window a little smaller than a normal Camp-X. I wish there was a rear side storage opening on the left side to make it easier to slide in long items. Looks like they made the molle rack longer on the left side instead...

I’m guessing the price point will be mid 50s USD.

Awesome setup! We have the same step ladder and removed the hand rail to make it lighter

I was able to remove the freezer by opening the fridge door as wide as possible, pulling the freezer compartment out, and angling it down to the left. Took a bit of wiggling, but eventually was able to slide it out
