Built to Conquer. Built to Last.
These are the guiding principles behind OEV’s Back Country slide-in truck camper. This isn’t just any truck camper; it’s a testament to rugged durability and innovative design. Let’s dive into what makes the Back Country 6.85′ the ultimate choice for off-road adventurers.
The Back Country 6.85′
When we set out to create the Back Country 6.85′, the goal was clear: build a slide-in truck camper that could withstand the harshest conditions while providing the utmost comfort. The result is a pop-up truck camper that combines high-quality materials and ingenious design, making it the toughest slide-in camper on the market.
Unlike traditional campers, the Back Country is constructed using OEV’s proprietary Gen 4 composite panels. These panels are 1.5 inches thick and boast an R8 insulation value, ensuring that the camper remains comfortable in both hot and cold climates. The aluminum furniture inside adds to the camper’s durability without compromising on weight.
The Soft Wall Innovation
One of the biggest challenges in designing the Back Country was the soft wall. We needed a solution that could endure repeated use in various weather conditions without leaking. The solution? A four-layer soft wall that includes:
- Exterior Layer: Coated nylon with high UV protection.
- Internal Layer: Nylon to minimize exterior needle punches.
- Insulation Layer: Hydrophobic, breathable media.
- Inside Layer: Fire-rated coated canvas.
This multi-layer construction ensures that the soft wall is durable, weather-resistant, and provides excellent insulation, making the Back Country a reliable companion no matter where your adventures take you.
Designed for Durability
Every element of the Back Country has been crafted to last. The Back Country features powder-coated aluminum extrusions and high-traffic-grade Lonseal vinyl flooring. These materials are not only durable but also lightweight, keeping the overall weight of the camper manageable at 1345 lbs (excluding jacks and batteries).
The Back Country’s roof is another testament to its robustness. Equipped with locking roof support hinges at both the front and back, the roof can withstand the rigors of off-road travel. The pop-up design allows for easy setup and takedown, making it perfect for quick getaways.
Optimal Storage Solutions
Storage is often a challenge in pop-up truck campers, but the Back Country tackles this head-on with optional storage solutions. Under-bed and under-seat storage systems maximize the available space, ensuring that you can bring all your essentials without cluttering the living area. Soft storage compartments add to the versatility, allowing you to organize your gear efficiently.
Comfort in Every Season
The Back Country is more than just a rugged truck camper; it’s designed for comfort. The insulated soft walls and OEV Gen 4 composite panels provide excellent thermal efficiency, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The camper comes equipped with a Truma Vario Heat with a thermostat, ensuring you stay comfortable regardless of the outside temperature.
Additionally, the multi-speed roof vent with a roller blind provides ventilation, while the Truma Aquago hot water system ensures you have hot water whenever you need it. These features make the Back Country a home away from home, whether you’re camping in the mountains or by the beach.
A Kitchen That Travels with You
The Back Country’s kitchen is designed for convenience and functionality. It includes a stainless steel cooktop and sink, both with flush-mount glass tops. These surfaces provide additional counter space when not in use, making meal preparation a breeze. Optional upgrades like a single burner induction cooktop and a 65L Dometic compressor fridge further enhance the kitchen’s functionality.
Sleeping Arrangements for All
Sleeping in the Back Country is a comfortable experience. The camper features a queen-size 4” mattress, with the option to extend to a king-size bed. The dinette area also converts into a 32” x 77” bed, providing sleeping space for up to four people. The C-shaped dinette, with marine-grade fabrics and 4” medium-density foam cushions, offers a cozy spot to relax or enjoy a meal.
Cutting-Edge Electrical System
Staying connected and powered up is essential for modern adventurers. The Back Country is equipped with a comprehensive electrical system, including USB charging ports, a 12v auxiliary connection, and LED interior lighting. The Victron Orion-tr Smart 12-30 DC/DC charger ensures your batteries stay charged, while the optional 220W solar panels and Victron Smart Solar MPPT 100-30 solar controller offer sustainable power solutions.
Customization Options
One of the standout features of the Back Country is the array of customization options available. You can equip your camper with roof racks, awning adapters, and folding non-slip stairs to tailor it to your specific needs. Additional roof fans, front light bars, and a Redarc Manager 30 with Red Vision Display can also be added to the camper.
