Cascadia Summit Makes SEMA Debut on Custom Ford F-150

The story

Cascadia Overland displayed its Summit pop-up camper at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, marking what the company described as the model’s first in-person appearance at a national show. The camper was mounted on a custom Ford F-150 built by Squatchy’s Auto and exhibited outside the Las Vegas Convention Center at the Travelstar Tires booth.

The Summit is a full-width pop-up camper that clamps to a pickup bed without drilling or making permanent truck modifications, according to Cascadia. In its closed position, the unit has a canopy-like profile; raised, it provides a sleeping platform and standing room. Cascadia says the mounting arrangement allows owners to remove the camper when they need the truck bed for other uses.

The company builds each Summit for a specific truck and bed length. Longer-bed applications use the Summit XL, with fit confirmed before production. That approach is different from a universal topper: buyers must provide vehicle and bed information, but the resulting installation is intended to account for truck-specific dimensions.

Cascadia lists canvas pop-up walls, panoramic windows, dimmable ceiling lighting, factory-installed gear panels, and optional roof-rack bars. The sleeping platform can accept a mattress up to six inches thick. A thermal liner and diesel-heater port are offered for colder-weather use, although the published announcement does not provide a formal cold-weather rating or quantified insulation performance.

The SEMA example was substantially customized beyond the standard specification. Squatchy’s Auto and Cascadia integrated 12 Helix Safety lights into the camper, with four directed downward on each side and four mounted on the rear hatch. The vehicle also received a concealed custom wiring harness and a Rough Country eight-gang switch panel mounted on a Cascadia-designed bracket.

Cascadia lists the Summit at $10,495 installed in Monroe, Washington, in the announcement. The price is materially below that of a fully equipped slide-in camper, but the product is also more limited in scope: the published specification describes a sleeping and shelter platform rather than a self-contained habitat with a kitchen, bathroom, holding tanks, or factory-installed house battery system.

That distinction places the Summit closer to a premium, removable canopy camper than to a conventional recreational vehicle. Its advantages are low travel height, relatively simple removal, and compatibility with a half-ton pickup build. Its limitations are the absence of a documented wet bath, onboard water system, or complete off-grid electrical package in the published configuration. The SEMA truck demonstrates how the platform can be customized, but it should not be treated as representative of every production Summit.
