One of the best thought out designs I have ever seen

I took the time to visit Mario at AT Overland, he was a great host and walked me through the camper. I am 6' 4" and 220 lbs, so I am a big guy, although I do slouch a little. Mario and I were in the camper together for well over 30 min and I felt that I could easily move around inside with the 2 of us in there, and never felt cramped. I fit nicely in the dinette chairs and the bed when pulled out in king size mode. I reviewed a bunch of videos and articles online before my visit. I can say, for me, that the camper is just as great, if not better, in person. It is as bright, spacious and well thought out as you see here. I have done a lot of remote camping and back country driving over 50 years in Canada and elsewhere. I believe Mario and the team have a well thought out camper here. Congrats!

A dining area that converts into a toilet and bathroom area? Doesn't bother me. Makes sense for a camper this small. Beats all other implementations on other campers this size. And that dry flush toilet beats all other options for your business. Love that. At least you don't have to deal with black water.

Mario: I've been following your AT Overland Aterra XL since it first debuted at Overland Expo. Looks like you've made a few minor improvements since then... nice! You're still on my short list; will likely be contacting you in 2023 to get a first-hand look at your operation.

There's never going to be one rig that ticks all of the boxes. But I think this one is my favorite for a full hard sided camper and at only 1150lbs dry weight for the base model. I love the aerodynamics. It's angled in all the right places. Biggest turn off for me is the propane system. Filling and dealing with propane is a hassle not to mention that propane tends to be a wet heat. An option for a hydronic heat and hot water system or at least a Webasto/Eberspacher style heater would be more to my liking. Hopefully whatever flat bed you went with could build and install a grey water tank somewhere underneath your rig or built-in to the flat bed. That would tick all the boxes for me. Still, great camper.

The Truma Varioheat that we use is a forced air heater that has not interior air contact with the combustion flame and therefore no moisture is introduced by it into the camper. "Wetness" comes from catalytic heaters like the Mr. Buddy and others with that type of technology.

Nice walk around. Is there still a plan to make a 12VDC AC system available, in addition to the new FARS option? Has the roof line been raised in V3? What is the weight capacity on the external Alu box storage? Is that the 9 ft. HD OEV Aluma Tray?
@MrChadx1 Жыл бұрын
They already have a 12v air conditioner as an option. Specs are on their website. Roofline on version3 is not taller; dinette windows were simply raised higher on the wall.

Thank you Mario!! Another masterstroke is design!! Please, some questions: -Would the air handling system be adequate to serve in lieu as an AC unit, like say for summer camping in SE TX? -Is there any way to attach tracks to the exterior, say for example white water kayaks while keeping the bikes at the back?
@MrChadx1 Жыл бұрын
The air handler is only an air exchanger so no cooling action. And, it has a heat exchanger so while it exchanges air, the design is to maintain the interior temperature. Opening a window would allow outside air in if the need is to equalize the inside and outside temperature. They do offer a DC air conditioning unit if one needs to cool the interior in a hot environment.

Some of these comments are just so rude... Anyhow for clarification the flatbed is 80 inches and the truck Chassis is 60 inches?
@atoverland32783 ай бұрын
The flatbed surface for mounting is 80" x 80". The 60" dimension referred to is the distance from the rear of the cab to the center of the axle. The overall length of the from behind the cab is 9 feet.

Why the hell have campers become so absurd in price? For people with more money than brains? How is a camper just as expensive if not more expensive than the truck holding it?

Sorry to say I wouldn't buy this there absolutely no room under there the awning the shower is not a good idea. then you have to go get some steps pull out the crapper the fridge has some cheapo baskets and we got a velcro bed roll the tire down some steps that you have to lug a mile around the camper. I'm sorry I'd rather pitch a tent
@MrChadx1 Жыл бұрын
If you prefer a tent over this, then obviously you are not their target audience. There are many of us that enjoy light-weight pickup campers (be that hardsided like this one or those with a pop-up top). We have a different brand camper and don't have or want an awning. Showers in small pickup-campers are a compromise. We usually use the exterior shower on ours, but an interior shower works good enough on cold/windy days or in non-private areas. We find that in-camper toilets are rarely used or needed, so an under-dinette seat location is good because it's out of the way except for those rare exceptions where you need it. If in a campground, we use campground facilities and if dispersed camping, you go outside. Those fridge baskets are far from cheap. Very sturdy. We've had both chest fridges, like this one, and front-load fridges and the chest are way more efficient. The spare tire location on this build is only because it is a huge 40" tire and it won't fit anywhere else. A more typical spare tire will be under the pickup bed and lighter and so not require storing it on the flatbed. But I'll say if "lugging the ladder a mile around the camper" to assist with lowering a very heavy spare tire off the flatbed is too much work for a person, that person is probably not going to be able to change that flat tire anyway and is not interested in pickup-based overland vehicle.

Showers in small pickup-campers are a compromise. We usually use the exterior shower on our pickup-camper (a different brand), but an interior shower works good enough on cold/windy days or in non-private areas. These light weight campers are not for everyone and some prefer larger, more feature-rich pickup campers or tow-behind campers with features closer to in-home. There is something for everyone. For us, those larger rigs won't fit on the mountain trails where we take our light-weight pickup camper.
