We were able to see the Outpost 6.5 in-person. This rig is IMPRESSIVE. We've seen many, many truck campers--this is by far our favorite. We just bought a different Total Composites rig from this same builder.... had the Outpost 6.5 existed when we ordered our rig, the Outpost would have been our choice. Everything is just so well-thought-out. They tried out different cabinet manufacturers, they tried different floors, they tried different plumbing options, etc etc.... since they're enthusiasts themselves, they were able to actually test out the components, and it really shows. You might think I'm just a fan boy. That's only because I AM.

[@Outpost_Campers]

Thanks Isaac! Wishing you and your family the best with your new camper!

[@carlosandrade7439]

This unit puts the Scout to shame! Love it!

[@Outpost_Campers]

Thanks! We think Scout makes a great camper too, we just tried to add more of the things we wanted in a camper!

I use to own a 2021 Kenai. I couldn't agree more. The Kenai was good but this camper is impressive.

[@KyleRuggles]

This is great! It's so compact and has everyone anyone would really need. I'd probably modify this to put a shower right where the entry is, put a little basin where that storage area is, a shower curtain and boom! Or simply just use it outside, but I'm shy and you know lol. Great little unit!

[@gradymiras5620]

Best looking interior I have seen. Minimalist and robust, super clean. The thermostat is a little too close to the heater vent (HVAC Guy Here). I would option for higher wattage solar array on the roof. I am aware the new Panels are generating near 700 watts each. A few of those and you could be off-grid without worries. I would also option a Through-the wall "window type" A/C unit. Many of these are 500+ btu and only use 450 watts.

[@system87music]

Met Eric and Taylor at the CO Springs RV show today - nice dudes and very knowledgeable! These campers are very solid and well thought-out! They definitely have an upscale/overland feel to the fit/finish, design, execution. Great camper! ⛰🌲

[@Outpost_Campers]

Thanks for the nice words! Great meeting you as well and thanks for checking out the Outpost!

[@sgt.pepper4274]

That is cool. Surprising amount of room.

[@keyarawveg]

Oh man, love this thing. Very well thought out design.

[@paulbailey5915]

Very interested in a future larger model with a wet bath. At last a clean modern interior 🙌 Been following Total Composites, like their construction and energy efficiency. For future larger model a few requests: 1. Wet bath with toilet option like Tiny Separett. 2. At least 35 gallons of fresh water. 3. Increase EcoFlow battery capacity options. 4. Max air fan and a/c options

[@Outpost_Campers]

Stay tuned ;), we're working on it!

[@skyrubin2257]

@@Outpost_Campers this is an impressive camper, if you offer an 8ft model with 40-60 gallons with a wetbath, a Wrappon Trekker Toilet Option and a hot water heater it would be very interesting…

[@reaval5834]

Great truck camper. I would like if they put a shower pan instead of a storage hatch. Just make it bigger. Put a shower system in similar to the class B Story Teller camper van. This way it would stay within payload. With that water spraying inside by the door it can be a great option if people want to shower inside next to the toilet.

[@anthonylan2295]

Theu said they are coming out with a larger model with a full shower in it.

[@KyleRuggles]

My thoughts exactly about that shower pan! I'm amazed at how compact this thing is for what it has.

[@CheeseLayong]

Not a fan of cassette toilets, however, the water sprayer kinda made up for it. I prefer at least a wet bath over closet space

[@guymowbray7972]

Looks awesome, I will be keeping my eye on it for the near future. this is the type of camper in need.

[@wenqiangxu3238]

Great camper, I especially like that there is no gas tank. Can a microwave be added? Is there hot water for outdoor showers?

[@CarterYoung-f8c]

How would you attach things to the exterior: a ladder, brackets for an awning, ski racks, jerry can holder, etc.?

[@Cabrio9999]

Nice small camper...well equip, nice modern design, the shell is perfect, just need an indoor shower :-) Nice Work

[@Outpost_Campers]

Thanks for the feedback! We may have something like that in the works 😉

[@thicccboyztv]

You don't need an ultralight camper if you want a indoor shower. Brings in all the moisture and condensation these seek to eliminate.

[@tenhomas]

Overall a very impressive camper. My favorite feature are the storage units. Very nice, I really like having plenty of storage units. My concern though is weight. I recently bought a 2024 GMC 1500 with the Turbomax 4 cyl. engine. Truck has a 6' 7" bed. Payload rating is 1850 lbs. I know air bags and bigger leaf springs will prevent sag. My concern is engine performance. If your team ever puts this camper on a Chevy/GMC with the Turbomax four banger please post something. Thanks.

[@Outpost_Campers]

@@tenhomas it works great on a 2500 GMC, but haven’t put one on your specific model yet.

[@usmcshepherdE9]

Really innovative design...I like the idea of the aluminum cabinets and the diesel heater. From my personal experience with truck campers for the past 20 years I think the inclusion of a larger water tank would be my first ask. Power could be easily augmented with a small honda generator if needed. I think this camper on a Ford SuperDuty Shortbed (6'9") would be idea whereby you could utilize the Ford's "old man step" for entry into the camper and still close up the tailgate. I'm assuming there is an electronic jack option to load and unload the camper?

[@Outpost_Campers]

Thanks for the nice words! Rieco Titan electric jacks could be retrofitted to this camper.

[@jeremytorgersen]

Great video, looks like an awesome camper! I was initially torn between the Kimbo and Scout and then saw a video suggestion for these from another channel and had to check this out. I am adding this to the contender/consideration list for when I get a truck camper. I am guessing this would work for a Toyota Tundra with a 6.5 bed?! Also, sounds like this would be a much closer location to check out and tour as I am only one state away, in Utah. I want something that is truly a 4 season camper and very durable/reliable. Looks high quality! Is any of it customizable or is this pretty much standard? (Ex. Blue cabinets/trim, without the cassette toilet if someone already has another one, etc.? Would be nice if there was a place to store an extra propane tank on the back for other uses outside since this is fully electric, but I suppose there could be some sort of after market configuration).

[@razorwired130]

Great job on the design and execution! I have a couple of concerns - lack of a gray tank and a hot water heater. I can probably hack not having hot water but inevitably we are going to have to pull into a full-service campground and I don't think the folks would like to see gray water draining on the ground. Do you see any mods that would allow a small gray tank for those situations?

[@joelcrow]

Man $35,000 is a lot, it's like $10k more for a Lance with a full wet bath.

[@zacatwell7822]

Seeking a camper to you use deep into winter/ski season. Does this need to be winterized, or would the water tank be able to use year round when in use?

[@timthompson8297]

[@mbkb735]

Does Outpost have plans for any Western Canada dealers in the near future? It is my understanding that the diesel heaters on the Scout Campers can be quite loud on the outside. Outpost's heaters must also be fairly loud? Thanks

[@anthonylan2295]

There is actually four ways to charge the Ecoflow system, I was told. The fourth is the ecoflow smart generator. Im just waiting on the model with the indoor shower, and im in.

[@Outpost_Campers]

You're correct! We don't mention the generator option as much as we try to make this completely generator and grid power independent, but it is an additional way to charge!

[@robertwood5395]

Very nice, subtle colors, functional! How does one reach and tighten/loosen the front internal strap tie downs?

[@Outpost_Campers]

Thanks for the nice words and great question! There are portholes on the interior of the camper for accessing the front tie-downs. We'll be adding a video explaining this system soon!

[@user-fz2ul7wl2d]

How much. ?

[@patrickio8084]

Is every component shown standard and not considered an extra cost option? Total Composites also has these shells in 8' lengths and for flatbeds. Will you also offer these sizes?

[@Outpost_Campers]

Every component shown in this video is standard except the optional diesel heater. We will be offering more models of adventure ready composite campers in the future for different sized trucks. Stay tuned!

[@scottthomas6603]

Any way to add a tv/cable hook up?

[@cliffthomas1389]

How do you get in it if your truck doesn't have a step built into the Tailgate?

[@razorwired130]

There are several aftermarket ladders available for trucks without built in steps.

[@pauld.b7129]

35k is absolutely insane for a slide in. These used to be cheap, this is more than a full size camper and doesn't even have a bathroom

Actually, given the relatively sparse truck camper market, the price for this rig is fair.

@@razorwired130 I was impressed with all of the engineering , actually . But that does not justify a $35 k price for an uncomfortable night’s sleep . I wish the company well , I just feel that it shot itself in the foot on this . Nobody would have faulted them for removing the tailgate and even allowing the camper to extend a bit past the end of the bed . There comes a point of the old saying - “ too much of anything is no good “ . Just because you try and squeeze so much in such a small space it gets to the point of yes you accomplished this but at what value for the customer . I love the idea of downsizing a home . But a “ 350 square foot house “ just isn’t worth thinking that you made a wise design even though you “ accomplished “ the engineering . They had and did some outstanding design ideas that I admired . I’ve been going to R/V shows since the late 1960’s , with my Dad . I hope I didn’t come across disrespectful .
