If you are interested, I made a video tour of my rig - separated into a video for the truck and one for the Supertramp camper. Please feel free to check it out.

Supertramp Tour:
Power consumption and power production via solar have been challenging. I worked with my off-road shop "Basil's Garage" here in Vista, CA to address the situation. Basil suggested to remove the Victron MPPT and DC/DC controllers and instead put two (2) Redarc BCDC1250D controllers into place. In...
Yeah, that is what scares me - arriving somewhere late in the day and then trying to find camp in a situation like yours. I think you did well the way you did and bailed. Your rig looks very much capable of doing that trail under better circumstances.
It is mounted in the lower storage box at the right rear of the flatbed. That way it is protected from the elements. The tank is mounted in a cavity above the spare tire = very close to the compressor.
This thing is solid. Zero doubts about the strap. It is a high-quality product. The price sucks, but I have peace of mind. I would have to spend my money differently, but in the end the truck needs to get me to places and I go far into the backcountry ....
I just posted mine. 2022 Ford F250 Tremor with a flatbed and a Supertramp camper.

It's not perfect. It's not cheap for sure. You lose a little bit of ground clearance with it. I had a rear bumper with dual swing arms before and the spare was mounted on one of the swing arms then, but when I switched to the flatbed that option went away. The Carli hitch fills the void. It is a...
The truck was now in a state to put it through the paces and find the shortcomings and limits.
I took my truck and the Supertramp on a few trips already and it has been a learning experience for sure. Each trip shows a few more things I need to adjust or change. The biggest one so far is that I...
Continuing on from my original posting.
Must-haves
I need to be able to work remotely. Satellite internet and space/room that so I can work inside the camper are a must – especially for when it is cold and wet outside. I want to travel mostly off-road, so the rig needs to be able to handle...
I am a long-time lurker here, but it is time to jump in on the action. My name is Christoph. I don’t have a name for my rig yet, but I am super stoked to be close to the finish line and to start long-term travel. So, here is my build: 2022 Ford F250 Super Duty Tremor
Over the last few years, I...
I use Starlink, but also have a Weboost that just got installed.
Regarding the flatbed, I made the decision to go flatbed 2 months before I got my camper. I would have gone Bowen, but the lead-time was too much. I ended up going with a Mits Alloy Evo 2 in the 7' configuration. Great flatbed...
I am glad you made it out safely. No shame in "retreating" when out alone. Stunning pictures otherwise. Do you feel this was more the unknown or did your truck did not meet the challenge and you would need even more clearance?
I work in IT and I prefer separate systems as well compared to all in one type solutions. It also makes it easier to troubleshoot when something breaks. But I agree with your comment - sounds like RedArc is doing the right thing.
Great video, as always :)
Man, that is a sharp-looking truck. I have the Carli Pintop on my 2022 Tremor and love it. I could not get Toyo's when I did my suspension with new wheels and tires. They look great on your truck.
