OVRLND Campers Introduces the Bread n' Butter

[@ovrlndcampers]

CORRECTION FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY: Our new, higher quality scale came in today and we re-weighed the camper. It's sitting at 324.6lbs, 12.8lbs heavier than stated in the video. Our bad. Still far and away the lightest full-pop topper on the market with this many windows/options/features

[@harrymills2770]

There are lighter ones. I think Topo Toppers hits a lower weight and price point, but that's only for the totally stripped-down versions, without the features you listed. I lean towards something like Topo, because I already have my camping gear figured out, and all I want is the innovative popup shell idea, preferable with a long cab-over portion, so that the full bed is over the cab, without needing to slide it out. I'm not sure why more manufacturers don't exploit that area over the cab, since due to federal regulations, it's more common to have a 4-door than a 2-door pickup truck, these days, and the truck bed is usually only about 5 feet, so space is at a huge premium. I tore out the back seats in my Tacoma within about a month of its purchase, for the enclosed cargo room and the fact that I'm either solo or with a partner, and I don't have kids. If I did have kids, I'd probably put the seats back in, for their safety, but I'd hate losing that space where a kid could sleep!

Super cool! I love the more basic model!!!!

The salesman here is so comfortable in this demonstration, indicating faith and honesty in his product.

Had one of the first ones made! Great camper, lightweight and easy to setup! You have made a great camper!

[@ovrlndcampers]

Rico! Thanks. Its fun seeing yours around town now!

[@sopilote56]

Wow! I just learned I can remove that blob of cling wrap I have been driving around with for almost 3 years under the pull-out bed platform. 🙂 Headed out on another trip soon. More than 100 nights in it so far plus some day trips. Feels like home and everything is in great shape.

[@ovrlndcampers]

100 nights is low.... you gotta get those numbers up!🤣

[@sopilote56]

@ovrlndcampers 7 nights coming up and 14+ in October. Easier camping when it's cooler and less humid. My wood trim has no mold but it does grow on my vinyl truck interior. Vinegar rub downs get rid of it on the vinyl but it grows back. 85-90% humidity all summer.

[@clearedtofire]

I have a brand new FWC Project M, which I love. I see some things on yours I like better though. Like struts on the side windows, barn doors, and the sliding front window. Keep up the good work.

[@ovrlndcampers]

Thanks!

[@Letstryscience]

The presenter remind me of Steve Zahn which is a compliment. Awesome looking camper.

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Good video.

[@chainsawcharl1e677]

Consider offering a polyiso spray-in bedliner, before mounting the camper, in order for a pickup bed to handle the stresses of the camper. Some pickup beds are made so flimsy that cabover toppers will pop the welds in the bed. The polyiso will glue the inside of the truck bed to make it stronger and more rigid.

[@typicalgerm2906]

great build

[@Birddoggin69]

Ovrlnd campers does it right 🤙🤙

[@ovrlndcampers]

thanks man!

[@bushman8670]

Did he just say that he didn't recommend buying the artic pack because it's expensive and that people could make their own? I like this guy.

[@harrymills2770]

Every once in awhile, you get a salesman like that. I bought a single-mantle propane lantern from K-Mart 30 years ago, because the salesman said "This is plenty bright and it's cheaper." It still works. I think this guy is more of a builder/worker than a salesman. They probably just picked the guy in the factory with a gift of gab, who was willing to do it. Usually, the craftsman disdain mere selling! Heh.

[@ovrlndcampers]

​@@harrymills2770 We don't do salesman or dealers or anything like that. Everyone here, including anyone picking up phones or answering emails, has had a hand in building the campers themselves. Perks of being a small shop.

[@anotherm2722]

Nice! Can you get screens for the flip up windows?

[@ovrlndcampers]

you can make them pretty easy. Bug netting and some velcro will get the job done!

[@anotherm2722]

Possible to get flipable full rear door w center "house" door? Ya'll could make it another option in the future. Very impressed w what iv seen so fa tho

[@ovrlndcampers]

we've looked at that as an option and have not ruled it out.

[@jimsteele7108]

Oh wow I like that.

[@DAGNUBIT]

Do you have a recommendation for putting the camper on the Tacoma, taking it off, and a good way to store it in a garage when not in use? Asking specifically if and how one person might manage this... Thanks.

[@ovrlndcampers]

people will build hoists in their garage or a 2x4 structure to lift! There is also a company called rapidtopper making a lift system!

[@jonathanmartin8517]

Still AWESOME!

[@nknickerbocker5948]

Do also have one that will fit a Toyota T-100?

[@ovrlndcampers]

Yep, we can build for that. Same dims as a gen 1 tundra.

[@hg2.]

Fantastic! Does this guy need a Hollywood agent, or what?

[@ovrlndcampers]

he sure does!

[@HN-oq3gf]

awesome! is it possible to get windows North and South of the camper? Some trailers like Etek offers them.

[@ovrlndcampers]

not on ours. Our lift mechanism is north and south, so we only put windows on east and west.

[@noonster55]

Do you make anything for a gen 1 Tacoma? That one is really nice. Might have to sell my gen 1 and get a gen 3. I really don’t want to because my old Tacoma is really nice. Lots of upgrades. It’s just hard to find a nice camper for it.

[@ovrlndcampers]

yeah! If you build it for a gen 1 taco it will fit every generation tacoma up to 2024 models.

[@peterpiper1965]

Are they made for a Chevy 2500 8' long bed?

[@ovrlndcampers]

sure, we build for those!

[@joethomas9634]

Do you make them tall enough to still fit your dirt bike in the bed of a tundra 6.5?

[@ovrlndcampers]

what kind of bike? We have had a couple customers use race start fork compressors with some success. Depends on the bike height and the truck.

[@joethomas9634]

What does OVRLND have against vowels?

[@ovrlndcampers]

fck vwls.

[@patrickio8084]

What's the height between the mattress and cabover ceiling? Can BOTH the insulation liner and your bedding stay in place and still close the camper? Can the cabover be lengthened to be flush with the windshield thus enlarging the sleeping area to minimize or eliminate the need to extend a sliding bed platform into the truck bed?

[@ovrlndcampers]

Depends on the mattress, but most folks have 2+ inches. Which is enough for down pillows sleeping bags or blankets. If you went with a inflatable mattress you would have 7ish inches. Both can stay in place though we recommend removing the insulation liner. Most of our customers just leave it up though! The cabover cannot be lengthened... it is fixed at 41" hang over.

[@harrymills2770]

@@ovrlndcampers That's too bad. It'd be nice if you could use the bed without moving any furniture.

[@ryangoldtooth7755]

Do you guys install a 270 awning to the Bread n Butter?

[@ovrlndcampers]

we don't but you could add one. We sell the brackets, so you would just have to drills some holes and bolt one on.

[@Oldrush]

This is cool but my ‘23 TRD off road has a 990lb payload. With people and dog and some water and basic camp gear and 2 e bikes with rack were over capacity. What do you guys recommend for this vehicle? Adding springs or air bags will improve ride but still be over gvwr.

[@ovrlndcampers]

I think I'd recommend a larger truck for the amount of gear you want to haul! Tacomas a great, especially the trims with a bit more payload, but with the amount of weight you're carrying, without even considering a camper, you may want to look at full-size trucks. Our cabover models we can get down to ~270lbs on a Tacoma (~201lbs for a Bivy camper), you'd just be sacrificing some of the heavier options like several windows or an awning. If you're interested free to shoot us an email with your "need-to-have" options and we can estimate weight of a camper with those options.

[@ernestdesimone2234]

How much height does it add over the cab when it is closed down? I ask in terms of garaging it.

[@ovrlndcampers]

what kind of truck. The height is truck dependent.

[@scottthejeepguy7499]

LOVE it. How much is bread and butter?

[@ovrlndcampers]

For the midsize they're 11k and for a fullsize 12k.

How much wind can these take? I was camping in Quartzsite last winter and they had 50 mph gusts. I really like these campers, thinking of one for my 2001 Tacoma.

[@ovrlndcampers]

lots! We've had customers leave them open driving down the interstate at 80mph for hours with no damage.

@@harrymills2770 The canvas on our campers is fully tensioned and taught, so no flapping in the wind like a tent

[@jamesmclaughlin3460]

Do they make it for the smaller Toyota 4x4?.

[@ovrlndcampers]

Smaller than a Tacoma? We've build for Toyota Pickups, which are actually the same size as the gen 1 tacoma.

[@jamesmclaughlin3460]

@ovrlndcampers sorry was thinking that's the full size. I'm trying to figure out what I actually want for camping. And towing my motorcycle behind. This seems like a great idea.

[@mountainman.4478]

whats the base price?

[@ovrlndcampers]

Our campers start at $8400.

[@mountainman.4478]

@ovrlndcampers Thank you. Where are you located, and what waiting period? I have a ram trademen

[@ncamp2126]

I'll say the only down side to these are they are strictly dedicated to one vehicle. So a full size ram vs a full size chevy probably won't fit right or can it act like a standard campershell? I have a shell on my ram that's obviously not the correct size but it works.

[@ovrlndcampers]

So the Ram is the outlier on this. Most fullsize campers are very cross compatible. The Ram is the exception. Rams 6.5' beds are actually 77" while every other 6.5 truck is 81"ish.

[@ncamp2126]

@ovrlndcampers thanks for the response. I'm better off waiting, I dont think I'll be in my ram much longer. You guys are out of flagstaff right?

I thought about your comment as was living in my OVRLND for 7 days this past week, looking at the beautiful aluminum welds, expertly-sewn fabric and all the other finish details that make my OVRLND shell top quality and thought I should reply on Jay's behalf. I was originally going to build a pop-up camper and after spending about 3 months on it a close-friend who had been helping suggested it was not going well and I should buy something factory-built. I have no regrets that I bought an OVRLND. Coming up on three years, 120 nights, many thunderstorms and nothing has broken and it has never leaked a drop. I didn't have to buy an aluminum welding setup and spend months practicing to get "stack of dimes" welds on thin aluminum tubing or buy an industrial sewing machine or source all the materials, windows, and fasteners or guess at the proper lift-strut force. I spent a couple of hundred hours just building out the interior. That was a fun challenge that I could manage. I am currently building an aluminum airplane and have lots of tools and modest building skills but I am glad I BOUGHT my OVRLND.
