killer rig. surprised still for sale at this price!

No need to modify exhaust on a 5th gen ram with flatbed and custom (larger) hitch. I can send photos when I get some time.

I don't have experience with using horse stall mats, but I've heard of people using them (rather than plywood) to raise camper. plywood will almost certainly rot and break down/mold, esp in a moist environment. horse mats, I believe, are synthetic so you don't have to worry about moisture...

I'm pretty sure Nate at explorist was offering electrical consulting/design at one point. maybe he still is. either way, I've learned a good bit from watching his YouTube vids.

You CAN run a 37" underneath the bed (at full PSI), BUT you need to have a custom hitch fabricated (Carli doesn't make a "Trophy Hitch" for the RAM). ALSO, I believe, you have to be running a flatbed (rather than the factory pickup bed) because the added hitch length will interfere with the...

^^^^ exactly! 100%!

Today, I heard back from Transfer Flow on the tank status: The highlights: The tank prototyping is complete and the capacity is 46G. So basically, an additional 15G over factory tank. Durability testing has begun, and is going well so far. Remaining hurdles: -complete durability testing...

IMO, the reason is $. It’s easier and more profitable to manufacture a “one size fits all” box height, compared with sizing the box to the model of truck cab and model of camper. Even though a “too-tall” box presents problems such as raising the center of gravity of the rig, and increasing...

Good catch. Actually, I'm short, so I'm thinking that the Backcountry/CampX must have a taller available "headroom" compared with the Hudson Bay (which I have.) I cannot sit upright in the bed of the Hudson Bay. To be fair, I have the under-bed storage option, which eats up a few inches of...

I agree with Chad. The pop-up material is pretty taught when the roof is "popped" and so there is minimal, if any, "flapping". I've owned 4 vehicles with pop-up tops, and the OEV design is among the best, if not the best. I do wish that the OEV roof popped a bit higher, so that I could sit...

Transfer Flow is currently in the prototype phase and has reached a key decision point. At this stage, the tank is designed to hold 44 gallons. They had initially hoped to offer a larger capacity, but available space has limited the options. Gas systems are also more expensive than diesel...

sorry if this has been covered already, but what's the largest size tire you can get in the factory location under the bed for each of the 3 trucks?

4.3 I think he mentioned it in a YT video

looks like a dream build! congrats!

ah, so it's 12v AND 120v

curious why you would run a 120v refrigerator. as you probably know, there's an efficiency loss in inverting from your 12v battery to 120v. So, why not just run a 12v refrigerator? unrelated, I've not yet done business with explorist.life, but their videos have been helpful to me.

killer rig and great photos. GLWS!

Not 100% certain, but I believe they use Canadian Energy www.cdnrg.com This appears to be the current CDNRG 200W model, not sure if it's the same one I've got on the roof of my Hudson Bay: https://www.cdnrg.com/products/cp200m-36 This may be the same panel, rebranded as "GoPower Solar"...

agreed. I'm excited to see specs on it. Another option is SeaSucker vacuum mounts: https://www.seasucker.com/collections/vacuum-mounts These are pretty heavy duty and require no drilling, adhesive, or other permanent installation. I could see using them to attach various things to OEV...

I'm guessing the adhesive is Sikaflex 221, which Eric @ OEV told me they use for general "mounting". Otherwise, probably VHB tape. FWIW, the shower curtain hanger in my HBE (above the dinette) was installed with what appears to be a strip of VHB, and the bond is beginning to fail, but that...
