Overkill Campers

[wookie1562]

It appears someone from overkill linked up with an "investor" or partner. They've reestablished all new social media, taking pre-orders and deposits, but no details on manufacture plans, deliveries, or anything of substance.

Sure looks like the same old song and dance. Set up brand new, heavily moderated socials with limited content, take deposits, then.......run off with the money?

Yikes. Caveat emptor. https://epikrv.com/

Yes this happened several months ago and I believe Epik never started production. The website is up and still allows you to pay $500 for a place in line. Hope no one goes for that

This trailer integrates a surprising number of features considering its compact size - it's designed for off-road and off-grid travel

I wonder if anyone has actually sent them a deposit?

 

[Obsessed2findARuggedHybid]

There back

They seemed to show a clip on Instagram of a customer pick up from their factory.

So the new Epik stand up is 70k + with all options. Get this even though they list a few dealers on thier website they still want $2,500 deposit to place an order. Even though production will not start until later this year. Same old sheeet

Looks like Epik is being pushed on this site. Seems strange based on the posts.

Is there anyone on here with one of these? Their social media shows they're pushing out new ones now. I read somewhere that someone put a down payment on one, I thought it was on this forum. I'm very curious.

Looks like Grame Bell has a review of the Epiik right here on EP. Interesting..

 

[Obsessed2findARuggedHybid]

Curious if the owner of Overkill who burned so many folks by taking thier deposits and never delivering thier trailer is still in partnership with Epik. Here is the EP add for Epik

Not sure if this thread is still active, but trying to figure out if AdventureSeriesRV is still in business.. we are one of the mythical few that own the first of 4(I think) EPIK Scouts as seen with the green 4Runner in their instagram post. We first put down our deposit with Overkill right around the time they tried transitioning to Xtreme and I guess got lucky cause our money went into a separate escrow to where overkill couldn’t touch it after they ran off. EPIK was slow to get started, but were always responsive to emails and calls. They said they had to start over and reengineer everything. We picked up our trailer in Feb 24. We love the trailer and even volunteered to be brand ambassadors, but they went dark right before overland East this past year. We found some court fillings that looked like some internal issues that were dismissed but haven’t heard anything from the company or their social media accounts. I was really hopeful that they were going to be around for the long haul, cause they built a good camper less a few QC issues…

has anyone out there heard from these guys since last October? or do we think it’s safe the assume the lights aren’t coming back on?

I have not seen anything on social media in the last 6 months or so. Maybe reach out to any dealers that you know of including Little Guy teardrop dealers. Maybe search bankruptcy websites. I believe the LLC was in Ohio.
