OVRLND Campers Popup Camper Shell Installed! [Power Wagon Episode 5]

We uninstall the Softopper truck topper and have an OVRLND Campers popup camper shell installed on our 2017 RAM Power Wagon.
Arriving in Flagstaff Arizona, we visit the OVRLND Campers HQ for the installation. We've included video footage of the orientation walkaround going through each feature of the camper. Thanks to Cole @ OVRLND Campers for allowing us to film the walkaround.

    Thanks for the great video. I am about to travel to Flagstaff to visit Ovrlnd Campers for an in person look see. As of right now, thanks to your video I am pretty sure this popup would be perfect for me. I also live in central coast California. I'll keep an eye out for your rig.

    Thanks for watching and commenting! So far we're pleased with our Ovrlnd Camper, though honestly we have not camped as much as we would have liked, real life getting in the way. We recently fitted a dual swing bumper from Chassis Unlimited to our truck, replacing the RIGd hitch mounted tire swing. I am in the process of editing hours of video down to a reasonable KZread length video, that'll hopefully be done in the next few weeks. Have a good trip to Flagstaff, it is definitely interesting to see the production line - I think just about everything is done in house, cutting and stitching seams in the poptop tent, bending metal, etc, etc.

    The SoftTopper was excellent and we enjoyed it for several years. We are hoping to do some longer distance trips in the (hopefully) not too distant future so this is the really the first step toward those plans.

    How are you liking your ovrlnd camper so far? I feel like you’re the perfect person to talk to, as I’m currently debating between a softopper and an Ovrlnd. I like the openness and visibility I’d get from the softopper (when folded forward), but I’d love the ability to stand up inside the camper that I’d get from the pop up. Having had the Ovrlnd for a bit now, how do you feel it compares to the softopper overall? Thanks!

  • @fourwheeltravel

    @fourwheeltravel

    Жыл бұрын

    Thanks for the comment! The OVRLND camper is still new for us and so we don't have a lot of experience with it in the field yet. Being able to stand up is a game changer though, as is not having to squeeze between the wheel wells when sleeping when camping. That said, the Softopper was a really great option for us for about 4 years and we think it looked great on the truck. We have some longer distance camping trips in mind and that really was the main motivation for upgrading our setup. We will post more videos here as we get to grips with the OVRLND camper and get it setup.

    @@fourwheeltravel Nice! Thank you for the info. Do you keep the OVRLND on your truck constantly? If so, do you ever feel like it’s too bulky for a daily driver? I’m coming from a FWC Hawk slide-in, which was great as a camper, but was way too big and bulky to keep in my truck all the time. I am thinking the OVRLND might not be too bad to keep in the truck 24/7. I’d still retain the use of the truck bed. However, if I’m being honest with myself, I’m not camping and traveling as much as I used to, and I’m thinking maybe the softopper would give me the sleeping setup I’m looking for, while also being very low profile during the week. Thanks for your videos. Would love to hear any other feedback you have regarding softopper vs OVRLND!

    Right, those slide-ins are nice and I've looked at the Hawk models, but they weight a lot more. I think the OVRLND Campers are < 300 lbs. I'll be putting up the Softopper for sale soon, and it is in really good shape after ~4 years out in the elements.

    From the campovrlnd.com site “Honeycomb composite material is a game changer! Lighter, stronger, and has the added benefit of keeping you warmer! Load tested for 500lbs and wide enough for the family! Two sheets. There is one fixed platform and one platform that extends to create the full 80" long bed.” IDK specific material or thickness but will go look at the sliding part and report back.
