How much did my highly customized Supertramp Truck camper really? Of course, there is a lot more than just the list price for the camper. There are add-ons that Supertramp Campers installed from the factory and quite a few add-ons or upgrades that I installed to my Supertramp camper.
I was a bit shocked when I ran the numbers for my Supertramp Camper.

My goodness $91k for a truck camper! Glad you're having fun, but for that kind of money, I think better options exist.

@dtadventure4x4 4 месяца назад

Yeah, there are plenty of options for all different use cases. I did not expect to end up where I ended up when I started. I probably would have done something different if I would have known.

@@dtadventure4x4 Well, you've got your rig sorted now and ready for adventure!Enjoy it, and try not to think about the cost! Thanks for the video.

@JimBurwellsPetiquetteHouston 4 месяца назад

Thanks ever so much for sharing the cost. What I’ve seen on RU-vid videos on this camper does not actually say that almost everything is optional and an additional cost. Am now subscribed and following.

@dtadventure4x4 4 месяца назад

Glad it was helpful! And I agree - information has been lacking a bit. I never expected to end up at $91K, but you can't just stop in the middle.

Thanks for the details; always nice to learn about the choices and processes to fit it out to your liking. Good for you on reaching your goal. The adventure continues. ✨️

Purchased my STC in March of last year.i also have specific options above the listed price. I was very early in the queue .i have ZERO complaints about my purchase price and the full spectrum of design, innovation, forward thinking concepts and functionality gives me extreme satisfaction. Go to there HQ in Golden, sit in one and you will be captivated by the possibilities of future experiences while free ranging . This camper has opened new horizons to me in my retirement life. Best personal purchase of my LIFE❗️

Thank you for sharing your experience 😀. I agree - lots of innovation and a so much more modern look compared to the standard, old, boring looking truck campers.

This is a fantastic, well thought out video. All of your upgrades are real world examples and very similar to how I would option it as well. Thanks for the tip on the composting toilet. The Tiny requires a vent. How much composting material do you have to carry for a week or 2? Also, did you take your hp starlink to the same spot as your residential? How much of a difference? Even the new gen is an interesting compromise between power and performance.

@dtadventure4x4 4 месяца назад

Thank you. I appreciate you. I am not necessarily using the Trelino with composting material, but I use their compostable bags. I did take Starlink to the same spot for comparison and had fantastic connectivity. I also tried it here at home in a densely populated area and it was clearly outperforming the regular dish. It was partially faster than my cable Internet.

Thanks for sharing. Not easy to do for some people. I probably would of bought one of those extreme off road trailers I have seen from ROA of America. You will get an offroad apartment for that kind of money.

@dtadventure4x4 3 месяца назад

Totally agree that is not a cheap setup. I am fortunate and grateful that I can afford this, but I also work hard for that. I started at zero at age 30 and worked my way up to where I am today. Trailers have their place for sure, but unfortunately for my type of travels a trailer is not going to work. But they offer a cheaper entry into overlanding for sure.

@@dtadventure4x4 i didnt mean it in any negative way. I also have a pop up camper that lots of people tell me I paid too much for. I think anyone should do whatever they want to do and spend their money however they choose, just saying that's a lot of add ons!

@dtadventure4x4 4 месяца назад

@@keepercity No offense taken 😀. I went all in and yes - if I would have known where I end up ... lol. No worries. What kind of camper do you have?

@keepercity 4 месяца назад

@@dtadventure4x4 I have a 4 Wheel Camper Project M. Have had it for a year and I love it. I needed something I could easily pop off when I need to use my truck for hauling stuff, but needed something to keep my young family off the ground when we go camping. It's the perfect fit for my application. Happy exploring!

@johnlegresley4353 4 месяца назад

$91K US? I am up here in Canada, after the conversion, that would be over $125,000, or the average house price where I live! I just got a truck, and started looking at campers. While I agree that ST are well built, it does seem a bit pricey. Can you suggest other models of campers that you would consider too, but at a more reasonable price pt? Appreciate any recommendations, thank you.

@dtadventure4x4 4 месяца назад

You have to define your use case to pick the right camper. There are a lot of cheaper options out there, but only you can identify if they are the right one for you. My use case is off-roading and need something that can take a beating without falling apart. Personally, I looked at the Alu-Cabs and FWC as well as OEV. All are great products. OEV gets quickly expensive once you start adding options and you get into the same territory as a Supertramp quickly.

@@dtadventure4x4 Thank you. Any thoughts on the Scout. Seems to be well built and light.

@zackaryclarke3227 2 месяца назад

Great camper! I hope they will offer a flatbed camper option in the future.

@dtadventure4x4 Месяц назад

When I talked to Supertramp the last time, a flatbed was not on their roadmap. They seem to focus on the Megatron and the high-end market similar to the Hilt or Earthroamers.

@GeorgeChildress 3 месяца назад

Does you glow step fold up and stay there with a lanyard or do you pull them off and store while driving. I also have an ST camper and am trying to figure out how to mount it. Cheers.

@dtadventure4x4 3 месяца назад

I take them off and put them inside the camper - right at the door for easy access and installation. For one my steps are not the model they sell that stay permanently attached and second - I go off-road a lot and they would get really dirty if outside. It is not a big deal for me to mount and dismount them. If you are not a member yet - join the Facebook Supertramp owners group. Lots of great people there sharing all their knowledge specifically to the Supertramp.

@Ajjakakkaka 4 месяца назад

So Supertramp installed the wrong/undersized charge controllers? That’s shocking it got through production. Did you get compensation from them for this mistake?

@dtadventure4x4 4 месяца назад

I would not say wrong as it was the only option available. Wrong for my needs. The system was designed for one or two batteries - not for four. It's a young company and they are learning and adjusting as they go. I was aware of that when I placed my order in August 2022. It's a risk I was willing to take and I expected that I will have to make some upgrades on my own after the purchase. Maybe not to the extend I did, but I also did not have enough information about my own power needs at that time.
