Well can we kind of stick to what he is doing? Older used truck with a self build camper? This is presumably a US purchase, we don't have the German TUV or UK MOT, we have some states without even an inspection for non commercial vehicles.

Have a look at the tax, registration and insurance requirements for your state in terms of the GVWR. Manufactures will sticker these trucks in a range say from 9900-10,000lbs. or 10,700 - 11,500lbs. for tax and registration purposes in different states. Also look at what the state requires to...

Saw your Instagram. Nice to see someone making it up through New England and the Atlantic Provinces. Is your HBE a 2022?

One advantage is certainly the flexibility to place the batteries in different locations and to some degree orientation for that perfect fit. 2 batteries, Xantrex, and the REDARC. That will fill that space up. Something so "simple" as moving a battery. Now do you also move 110V house feed, solar...

Have you seen any dimensions on the pax side box? I wonder how much room would left after installing two SOK batteries? Wonder if the inverter would stay in it's current location?

Trying to move a product that depends on multiple suppliers and crossing a border with a currency exchange, yeah that's fun. At least the exchange rate favors the CAD recently. Trying to find a "reasonably priced" used truck these days is a waiting game. I watch Will Prowse on YT, funny SOK...

Agreed better solution for the battery. Which brand for the 206ah? You definitely should trade in and get the HBE so you can work on suggested refinements. :) I know it's a moving target for product supply, improvements to Gen 4 on the panels etc., but the base price for the 2022 HBE has now...

My bad. I forgot about the separate thread. @Art Vandalay Perhaps you can copy and paste

Yes the BASE CAMP and SUMMIT are appealing but defiantly budget busting. Now just 9 months later and the HBE has increased in price by $9k for 2022. I am guessing the BASER CAMP SW will move beyond $150K for 2022 pricing.

So far not a lot of video on this BASE CAMP SW prototype. It was at EXPO last weekend in Flagstaff. I posted in the HBE thread asking about the BASE CAMP, forgetting that this thread existed.

OEV BASE CAMP SW Prototype

Having that up front storage is certainly appealing, spare tire, extra water, inflatable kayak, etc. I do not need to tow, but do want to at times take a motorcycle on the back. That Summit X with the Hydralift is neat.

Glad they are making the move for the batteries, will make the shower space inside much more useful. Lower the shower pan and then use that space as covered storage below floor level until you need to use the shower, like FWC does. Base price on the FWC Hawk flatbed Woolwich edition is now at @...

Has anyone come across any video from Expo West of the BASE CAMP?

If you go to the 15:30 mark Arnold talks about the bonded strength. Most descriptive I have come across. Also on Gen 4 of the panels.

Another walk through video with Arnold.

Not an exit as I understand it. LITE is still the mothership, OEV is a brand. They have moved away from the work that built LITE and are 100% concentrated on OEV. Extractive industries up their way have taken a large hit, I'm guessing that part of the business diminished. They had some nice...

Hopefully with that presence we can see some updates on interiors for 2022. I like the look of that BASE CAMP.

Looks like an OEV meetup. overlandexplorervehicles Here is the OEV line up for @overlandexpoWest. Base Camp SW Camp-M Camp-X (times 3) Camp-HBE (times 2) Aluma Trays (times 4) Summit-X

He got spoiled with that hot shower
