Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) pop-up truck campers—such as the popular slide-in Back Country 6.85′ or the flatbed Hudson Bay—feature wood-free R8 composite walls, R4 insulated four-layer soft walls, powder-coated aluminum extrusions, and an average dry weight starting at around 1,275 lbs
Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) builds expedition-grade, wood-free pop-up truck campers utilizing their proprietary Gen 4 Advanced Fiberglass Composite System (AFCS) with vacuum-bonded panels and thermal-break aluminum extrusions.
The OEV pop-up lineup is split across two core styles: Slide-In Campers (which fit into standard factory truck beds) and Flatbed Campers (which require replacing the factory bed with a tray)
Core Construction Specifications (Standard Across Models)
Regardless of the model size, OEV builds all pop-ups with the same high-insulation, heavy-duty DNA:
- Main Structure: Gen 4 Composite Floor, Walls, and Roof providing an R8 insulation value.
- Soft Walls: Fire-rated, 4-layer insulated multi-season soft walls providing an R4 insulation value.
- Thermal-Break Extrusions: Powder-coated aluminum profiles engineered to prevent external cold/heat from transferring to the cabin interior.
- Standard Systems: Most full-size models include a integrated Truma Combi system for on-demand hot water and cabin heat, alongside standard 220W+ solar roof setups
