I am literally lying down in my Arkto waiting out a rain storm in the mountains. It’s a fantastic camper. Totally happy with it and I hope you will be as well.

Mid/late September hopefully.

Nice, we are really looking forward to it. We “roughed it” in a RTT this summer. Looking forward to the extra room and stable bed.

I don't own a Arkto but have the same Timbren HD suspension. The Arkto has 21 inches of ground clearance and impressive departure angles. Also being a pop up it is not very tall when in transit which also helps off road. So I feel like it is all you need for venturing off road.

I feel like the heavy trailing arm coil and or air shocks suspension are over kill. Maybe if you want a 8,000+ pound trailer they are worth the cost and weight.

EPO will give you a first hand opinion.

Pretty funny...I just came on to provide an update on last week's adventure high in the Rockies. This photo was taken at a dispersed campsite on top of one of the passes.

Drifter...yes, the forest service road I was on here was pretty rutted and washed out due to the rain. I tow with a Ford Ranger and the Arkto with it is a champ. I even commented to the person that was with me that the Ranger feels the bumps and I hardly feel anything from the Arkto. Easily was going through 10-12" or so potholes along with the wash out on the forest service road. 65 mph coming home and took it on a 2500 mile trip in June. The limiting factor to where the Arkto will go is the Ranger driver...me. I won't take it up steps in Utah for example because I don't want the truck or camper damaged.

Functionality...no issues at all. Rained like crazy for a couple of days last week, no leaks. Stove, inverter, heater (getting a little chilly at night at 10,000 ft. elevation, ran heater a little bit), water heater, shower, etc. all worked fine.

The Arkto is a great camper and I could not be more pleased with it.

Edit: Pic is a little blurry but couldn't upload a higher res pic.

EPO, awesome. These forums shine when people share their real experiences. Thanks for the insights and I'm glad to hear it's working well for you.
