------------------------

From website:

Introducing Paragon: Paragon delivers van-level livability on an F-350 platform, featuring a full wet bath, a massive passthrough, an expansive internal gear garage, and a rear dinette that converts into a full bed. Pair that with a standard King bed beneath a stargazing skylight, and Paragon is built for nights you’ll remember and mornings you’ll actually look forward to. A well-equipped kitchen offers induction cooking, supported by a 40-gallon fresh water tank and modular exterior storage options to keep you organized. Paragon comes standard with 660w of solar power, a 3,000w inverter, and up to 1,080Ah of Battle Born battery capacity, giving you the comfort and confidence to explore without limits.

To ensure Paragon drives as good as it looks, Supertramp partnered with Carli Suspension to develop a Paragon-specific setup, featuring custom-valved shocks and an Alcan leaf pack engineered for a planted, controlled ride on pavement and dirt alike.

Built in Golden, Colorado and backed by a team that supports you before, during, and long after delivery.

Paragon features an innovative 3-way convertible rear dinette that transforms into a full bed, an L-shaped couch, or a traditional dinette—giving you the flexibility to adapt the space to whatever the day’s adventure calls for.

Don’t settle for a truck you don’t want. Paragon is built on the Ford F-350 platform and available with single cab, extended cab, or crew cab configurations—so you can choose the truck that works for you and your lifestyle.

I believe the initial rig is still being developed, hence the renderings, but they have shared some progress on other media outlets.

This particular build looks to be FLASHY! Ha. (Though I have no idea if the exterior color nor visible parts of the interior, are going to be red).

My initial thoughts, when I first heard the details of the Paragon in late 2025, were that it fit into a nice slot between the Flagship HT (for a 6.5' bed) and the Megatron on an F550 with 41" tires. Megatron is an amazing piece of kit, but out of the price range for most of us and also too large for where and how many use their campers. The Paragon sits on a F350 with 8' bed, rather than F550. Still has 7' interior height. Options for wet bath, pass through, and other nice features. Has a storage garage, side entry and huge cabover space. And in my opinion, this has a little more realistic suspension lift and wheel/tire packages (the optional Carli/Alcan lift with 35" or 37" tire options). Still a large, spacious rig, but will actually fit down some trails compared to the Megatron.

The introductory price of $189,000 for the base model including basic standard-cab pickup seems like a good starting point. Upping the F350 model and cab layouts and trims will add expense, but nice they are not forcing one into a mid to high trim package or cab configuration that you don't want or need (like many turnkey campers do). There are all manner of camper options and if you tick all the boxes, the price will start to climb accordingly. The "Build and Price" function is not yet available for the Paragon.

I probably won't have much else to add until the first one is built and I see it in person, but will be fun to discuss some of the features and speculate a bit until then.

Sub a dub dub…


This thing is seriously awesome at an infinitely more attainable price.

Glad to see Carli and not Kelderman or Liquid Spring.

The red coating could be a protective film or a mould release depending on what stage that box is in.

Somehow, I got a notice that I was subscribed to this thread, but the first post on my screen is from today. Is this a re-write of an older thread?

Agreed on the liquid springs suspension. The new F350 version is neat and probably performs well, but very pricey and still uses up the space of the spare tire, I believe, which I don't care for.

The base Paragon comes with no lift but does have aftermarket wheels and 35" tires (Toyo AT3 I think). Then you can option for the Carli/Alcan if you want a lift. And option that with 37s.

Interesting on the subscribed thread notice. I just started this thread today; no rewrite of older thread. But I did post links to this thread in some other Supertramp threads.

I almost posted this (website link) yesterday, but it’s dropping tomorrow and last time when they released the HT and I posted here before the drop date, they contacted me to have me remove the post.

It’s a great looking rig and a great proposition. The pricing is introductory, so by the time you can try one it will be 199K+. It’s also a very basic system configuration for the price (very basic truck spec, 270ah, no bath, no AC, etc). For 195K you can buy a Geotrek Verus with full bath, 10000Wh, 1000W of solar, standard AC etc. The Verus chassis has the equivalent features of a F-350 Lariat with premium package (adaptive cruise, etc) which is also an extra 20K over an XLT in the case of the Paragon.
Everything is an option here, so when you tick the must haves, it will be 250-300K.

There are 2 ways to see this: yes they do not force you into a high trim, but also it makes the price looks lower than alternatives, when in reality at similar option and configuration it costs more.

That being said, I still like it. At 200K with maxed out electrical, bath and decent spec truck it would have been a done deal.

When Outpost releases an 8ft flatbed for 80-100K fully loaded, even with adding the chassis would run significantly less than this will fully loaded. At that point I am not sure the extra 100K for this rig will be worth it but we will see.

Look forward to seeing it in person.

The Geotrek Versus is a really neat rig, but then you are back to a Mercedes chassis which would be a hard stop form many, including us. At one point, between pickup campers I dove deep into the van option and came away with nothing but cons for the way we use our vehicles and what is important to us. A very built out Mercedes is about as capable as a low end, basic 4x4 SD pickup with no lift and stock tire size. Stock SD/HD pickups can take 35" tires stock. Add in even a small quality lift, or start with Tremor package, and you can fit 37", which improves rollover, gets the axles even higher off the ground, huge sidewall, and more clearance when aired down. I know all that important only for those that trail drive, but it is at the core of how we use our rigs so weighted highly for us. There will no doubt be a cross section of shoppers that vans chassis works for, so fair to cross shop there.

Then the reliability and serviceability of Mercedes bothered me; Story after story from online and friends of issues with Mercedes components breaking down, not being able to get a timely fixes (months out at nearby service centers so had to tow to service centers very far away), hard to even get in for maintenance (though I do my own maintenance). There are some non-diesel, non-Mercedes van options but then you lose the trail driving ability because they have even less trail-capable drivetrains, even lower clearance, inability for larger diameter tires, etc.

Last I heard, Outpost is not really looking at doing any flatbed campers anytime soon. I think they are working on a 8' slide-in, so that will be interesting to see, but a slide-in is a different animal than a chassis-camper. But it will still will be a neat options. Any new makes and models increases choices and makes it that much more likely a buyer can find the best camper for them.

Looks like their version of the Provan Tiger. Nice but probably out of my price range

That's a little troubling to me that they would contact you to take a thread down. @Chadx doesn't need to be the only person starting threads whether he has a deal with them or not. Public forum for public use they can chose to participate or not. To me a public forum is the last place of semi-unmoderated truthful information. If companies don't appreciate that I really wonder their motives.

FWIW ST contacted me when I was complaining about the charging system online. They never once asked me to change or take down any information and I truly believe they are a standup company with customers best interests at heart.

End of April my charging issues will be resolved with a big upgrade from ST and being as I've paid for every single penny of my camper I'll certainly share my honest feedback good or bad.

To the original point of this thread I like this new camper a lot and while $189K is the base price that's already at least what I have into my Tremor/ ST LT setup so it's not that out of sight.
