SOLD: 2020 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-X slide-in, pop-up pickup camper (pickup not included).
Note: OEV renamed the CAMP-X model to the Backcountry as of the 2023 model year.
Located in Bozeman, MT.
Selling our wonderful CAMP-X to start a new project on a different pickup.
This camper has been well documented, since new, in the Expedition Portal thread:
https://forum.expeditionportal.com/...amper-renamed-back-country-as-of-2023.214329/
Features:
Each year, the camper was on the pickup for about 6 months then off for 6 months. When on the truck, the entire rig is parked in my shop unless being driven (I work from home). When off the pickup, camper was stored in the same shop. So has not been stored or sat outside except when being driven/used (read: no long term sun and weather wear and tear).
This camper is titled and the title is free and clear (there was no loan tied to the title).
Located in Bozeman, MT.
A new model that is similarly equipped is over $51,000 (plus dealer fees, taxes, etc. on top of that).
SOLD - Asking $43,000.
Available immediately (minus the time it takes me to thoroughly clean, swap out our memory foam mattress for the never-used, brand new OEV mattress, and remove the brackets from the pickup). Thanks for looking.
Note countertop 120v outlet that is powered when on shore power. The second 120v outlet is under the sink.
Under sink storage wraps around behind the 120v shore power breaker box and outlet.
Front fan/vent was custom offset, during the original factory build, to the driver's side because we wanted it over our heads and easily reached.
King bed pullout. As noted in ad, we never used the pullout nor the factory OEV cushions. We slept on a queen sized memory foam mattress.
This generation CAMP-X uses large, robust zippers rather than velcro for the three window layers (insulation, screen, window).
Custom OEV cushions so there would be a single cushion on each end seating surface rather than two. Also to eliminate the cushion in front of the window so we could use the shelf for short baskets to keep often-used items handy.
Porta-potty cabinet has a handy slide-out which is a feature no longer included in late model campers and has been quite handy. (Porta-potty itself not included with sale)
20 gallon freshwater tank (white in photo), battery box (grey in photo), REDARC battery manager 30 very close to battery (ideal to have them as close as possible to battery). Also shown are the shunt, breaker and water pump (easy access for draining and winterization).
Propane cabinet with two 11lb tanks (nice if you want to use one tank around campsite). 30amp short power plug (adapter will be included) with portal solar input plug right next to it. Locking freshwater fill, sink grey-water outlet, and outside shower connection.

https://forum.expeditionportal.com/...amper-renamed-back-country-as-of-2023.214329/
Features:
- Sized for Fullsize or HD pickups with a 6.5' bed or tray, but some owners have installed on 5.5' beds
- OEV composite camper (R8) and well-insulated, fire-rated pop-top (R4)
- Four Titan Jacks and Four Torklift derringer tie downs included
- Dual-pane acrylic side window w/blind/screen
- Black countertops
- Lagun table
- Screen door
- Two 11lb propane tanks. Camper only came with one but I added a second. Having two 11lb rather than one 20lb is handy if you want to pull one out for use around the campsite. Also if you want to only carry one to lighten the camper.
- LP detector/CO detector and smoke detector/ Fire extinguisher
- REDARC combination solar controller, DC/DC charger and AC/DC charger
- Two 120v AC outlets powered when plugged into shore power
- Truma AquaGo propane instant/continuous water heater
- Truma VarioHeat propane cabin heater
- Dometic 65 liter two-way fridge (AC when plugged to shorepower and DC when not)
- 20 gallon fresh water tank
- Sagiva, temperature-adjustable outside shower connection
- Stainless steel sink with flush mount glass top
- Stainless steel stovetop with flush mount glass top
- ThermoBreak foam kit
- Roof L track and two OEV roof racks
- 200watt solar panel
- Side plug for portable solar panel (allows you to park in shade and put solar panel in the sun)
- BattleBorn 100ah LiFePO4 battery
- Queen sized cabover bed with king bed extension. We never used the king bed extension and so removed and stored it since new. The OEV mattress has never been used because we had a memory foam mattress from our previous camper that we used. Mattress has been stored in climate-controlled house bedroom; not garage or attic
- Two roof fans/vents. Cabover fan is offset to drivers side (was done custom, for us, by OEV during construction)
- I replaced double USB outlet with one that can be powered off (original was always illuminated and always drew power). There are also two 12v outlets in cabin.
- OEV custom cushions to eliminate the seem where you sit and allow open shelf below the window.
- Enough headroom to sit at dinette with top down.
- Enough room, with top down, to leave bedding and pillows in cabover unlike some pop-top campers.
- REDARC Manager 30 is a combination solar controller, DC/DC charger and AC/DC charger. It has a max of 30amps throughput and prioritizes green power, meaning if there is solar input, it first uses that and, if more power is called for, then it uses AC/DC or DC/DC to make up the remainder.
- REDARC input amps can also be set from 5amps up to 30amps so if you are plugged into an 120v circuit and want to limit draw on that circuit, you can set it lower. Or, if you want to limit the speed that the battery chargers or limit the DC draw on your pickup alternator, you can do so. It also has charge profiles for AGM and Lithium.
- Includes pickup tie-down brackets and enough livestock mats to allow use with any height pickup bed rails.
- Camper sides and acrylic window have mild pinstripes from trail tree branches. I'll be polishing the acrylic window before delivery.
- The front fan will very occasionally throw an error (start beeping) when first turned on. To reset, it requires removal of fuse from the fuseblock to reset it, which is quick and easy. It's doesn't happen often enough and it's hard to duplicate so I've not tried to chase it down, but something to be aware of.
- Black countertops rather than bamboo (to us, the black matches the grey cabinets better).
- Pop-top windows use large zippers rather than velcro.
- Screen door doesn't have the thick black “cage” material; it is just screen
- Sage green dinette cushions rather than dark green
- Porta-potty drawer has a handy slide-out which is no longer included in late model campers
- King bed extension is the first generation plywood rather than second gen aluminum.
- No built-in awning brackets. We prefer to not have a fixed awning since they never seem to put shade in the right place, are prone to branch/trail damage and they weigh a lot. If we needed extra shade, we attached a tarp to the roof L track on the sunny side of the camper and anchored the other end of the tarp to the ground. We also use a portable screen house which is nice for shade and bugs protection so we chose no attached awning. There are also slick portable awnings that work better than attached awnings and can be put up on whatever side the sun/rain/campsite layout dictates.
- REDARC and battery box are located in the same, under-dinette cabinet as the water tank (I prefer this because solar controllers and battery chargers should be as close as possible to the battery bank. New campers have the solar controller/battery chargers up on the galley countertop much further away from the battery bank)
- REDARC Manager 30 all in one solar controller, DC/DC charger and AC/DC charger; newer campers use individual Victron components.
- 30amp shore power plug (requires a 30amp adapter which I'll include)
- Two 120v outlets in the camper. They are powered when on shore power. This is nice if you want something plugged in, beyond the battery charger, while at a camp spot or during storage (electric heater, dehumidifier, etc.)
- Dometic 2-way fridge is wired to both DC and AC circuits and gives AC power priority. This means if you are plugged into shore power, there is no draw on your battery from the fridge.
- Two 11lb propane tanks rather than one 20lb tank. Having two 11lb is handy if you want to pull one out for use around the campsite. Also nice if you want to only carry one to lighten the camper or want to leave camper furnace running while an empty is taken to get refilled.
