Nice video, John. We picked up our 2020 Overland Explorer CAMP-X spring of 2020 and have used it extensively all spring, summer, and now beginning of fall and we love it. We had a Four Wheel Camper for 3 years and, while it was great and introduced us to slide-in pickup campers, this is a definite step up. The heater, water heater, battery management system/solar controller and monitoring system are all top notch and what I would use if I were building a camper from the ground up. We also no longer deal with the condensation issues we had in the previous aluminum-framed camper. Overland Explorer uses composite walls that are R-8 rated and the pop-up walls are even R-4. Last weekend we were out in 70F degree day and 35F degree night with the thermostat set to 55F degrees and furnace didn't kick on until about 5am. Love the clean white interior of these panels and roof. No styrofoam in the ceiling and can lift up the top putting hands anywhere. 6' 10" inside when popped up, and when the top is down, enough room to keep the bed made which was not an option in our previous. Also, enough room to sit at the dinette with the top down. Can't say enough good things about it.
If anyone is interested in more pictures and discussion, there are a couple threads on Expedition Portal forum about these Overland Explorer CAMP-X slide-in pickup campers.
There is a couple pieces of trim that collect condensation. I've just put some foam tape over top to help prevent it from forming. Other than that its pretty good.
Check out my other video. It shows what I did in more detail. New campers come standard with it. If you plan on using the camper in the winter your going to have to add to the thermal barrier. The powder coated aluminum transfers heat extremely well. Overall the camper is very well insulated though. I typically use more propane to run my BBQ than keeping the camper warm when I'm out on weekend trips.
@@johnbrown8168 I saw your other video- What I'm looking for is material, brand or where you found the additional thermal wrap? I have a new 2021 Camp X and spent the last weekend in the snow- Id like to add some additional thermal to cover all areas like you did. Thank you

Nice setup! I really like the cam on the receiver great solution, rattles are very annoying! Thanks for sharing.
Glad your supporting an Alberta company. 🇨🇦

finally found a new body style sierra with a camper! and no way from Alberta as well.
Nice setup 👍
Thx for showing your camper. What is the ballpark price for a Camper X?
I couldn't find it on their site. One has to request it.
any issues with condensation? a lot of other pop ups tend to have condensation issues.

Hi John - hope you see this- Im wondering what you used for the Thermal Wrap on the inside?
Check out my other video. It shows what I did in more detail. New campers come standard with it. If you plan on using the camper in the winter your going to have to add to the thermal barrier.

Nice
Dude, im looking online for one and they are selling for 35k. Is that correct??
Ouch.....I was going to ask the same question. "How much?" I couldn't find the price on their site.
35k is a lot a money.....Damn.
What is the name of the truck camper
It's made by Overland Explorer. It's the camp x model.
Still happy with the 3 litre diesel?
I am, It works very will with this setup.
@@johnbrown8168 appreciate the reply, that's a beauty of a truck
What's the cost range for that camper?
40k Canadian. I'd imagine they would be closer to 30 in usd. A new 4 wheel camper in Canada would be in that price range.
@@johnbrown8168 Nice, dang not cheap that's for sure but better than towing!
Very nice set up you have John!
