Overland Explorer Vehicles Continues Offering Slide-In and Flatbed-Compatible Campers

The story

Overland Explorer Vehicles continues to offer a two-track product strategy combining removable pickup campers with larger expedition habitats. Its Back Country model is a slide-in pop-up designed for half-ton, three-quarter-ton, and one-ton trucks with beds from six to 6 feet 8 inches.

The Back Country has a listed dry weight of 1,275 pounds and can be mounted directly in a pickup bed or adapted for flatbed use with side boxes that fill the space beside the camper. The standard layout includes a front queen bed, an optional king-bed extension, a dinette that converts into an additional sleeping area, and a removable four-season cabin.

OEV also lists the model as having a 6-foot 2-inch interior height. The company describes its construction as composite-based and says it tests bonded panels and joints to demanding load levels. Those claims are presented as part of OEV’s structural-development approach rather than as independent certification data.

At the larger end of the lineup, OEV lists the Summit as an integrated, frame-mounted camper for Ford F-550 and Ram 5500 trucks with 84-inch cab-to-axle dimensions. The model is configured for heavy-duty expedition platforms rather than standard pickup-bed installation.

The product range demonstrates the continuing separation between lightweight slide-in campers and chassis-integrated expedition bodies. The Back Country targets buyers who need a removable habitat that can remain within the payload range of more pickups, while the Summit serves customers willing to use a dedicated heavy-duty truck for additional capacity and permanent integration.

OEV’s current product information does not identify a new September 2026 model launch. Its relevance is tied to the company’s active presentation of both slide-in and flatbed-compatible formats, including a pop-up camper that bridges conventional pickup use and expedition-style tray mounting.
