Built on the trail.
Backed by the people who built it.

Cascadia Overland Co. started on real roads, in real conditions, not in a boardroom. This page covers who we are and exactly how your camper gets built.

The Cascadia Overland shop
Our story

Started on the trail,
not in a boardroom.

A YouTube channel became a business, because we could not find what we were looking for.

What began as documenting real overland travel across the Pacific Northwest quickly turned into hands-on experience: miles logged, gear tested, and systems pushed in real conditions. We purchased and ran our own camper. Used it, modified it, and lived with it.

That exposure revealed a clear gap. Solid campers existed, but the combination of value, quality, and reliable US-based support was hard to find. That gap became Cascadia Overland Co.

What we do

Campers, fabrication, and electrical builds.

We design, build, and support truck campers for people who actually use their rigs. Everything we offer is selected and tested for wet climates, rough terrain, and long-term durability.

Truck campers

Purpose-built camper platforms, from ultralight wedges to full slide-ins with kitchen, heat, water, and solar.

Custom fabrication & repair

Structural repairs, custom mounts, and one-off metalwork for your camper or rig. Problem-solving handled in-house, not farmed out.

Camper electrical build-outs

Solar, 12V systems, wiring, and interior electrical work. Built and tested so your camper runs reliably off-grid.

Why we do it

Built for the people in our own rigs.

This is not abstract for us. Our own kids have grown up camping in these builds, which is exactly why durability, safety, and comfort are not optional.

How it gets built

How your camper actually gets built.

Aluminum forming, welding, and powder coating happen at our dedicated facility overseas. Everything after that happens in Monroe, Washington, by the same people who answer the phone when you call.

Fabrication

OUR FACILITY

Forming, welding, and powder coating on a dedicated line running our drawings, our tooling, our revisions.

Assembly & upfit

MONROE, WA

Assembly, sealing, wiring, hardware, and options, done here.

Warranty

2 YEARS

Full coverage, handled in the US, by the team that built it.

Spare parts

STOCKED

Panels, latches, struts, seals, and canvas, shipped from Washington.

No mystery about it

Yes, our major manufacturing is offshore.

The aluminum structure and the pop-up tent metal are bent, formed, welded, and powder coated at a dedicated facility in China. We say that plainly, on the page, instead of burying it.

What arrives in Monroe is a set of finished components, not a finished camper. Assembly, weatherstripping and sealing, and every piece of hardware, wiring, and accessory happen here, on our floor, before it goes on your truck.

Offshoring the heavy fabrication is what lets a fully outfitted aluminum camper land at the price it does. That saving goes to you, not into a marketing budget built around a flag sticker.

Fully assembled at our shop.

The crates hold finished powder-coated panels and tent assemblies. That is where the factory's job ends and ours starts.

Every clamp-on camper is assembled from flat components on our floor. Nothing arrives as a finished camper waiting to be wheeled outside.

  • HardwareEvery nut, bolt, hinge, and latch installed and adjusted by us.
  • SystemsFan, solar, wiring, and accessory mounting, installed and tested before it leaves.
  • SealingWeatherstripping between every panel joint, then sealing and a water check.

Apex

The Apex shell is welded, so it arrives as a structure rather than a stack of panels.

What leaves is a finished camper on premium components we chose and installed ourselves.

  • Electrical end-points finalized, terminated, and tested
  • Eberspacher diesel air and water heating components
  • Dometic appliances and Renogy power gear
  • Breakers, fuses, distribution, and battery installed to our spec
  • Structural inspection, sealing, water test, and torque verification

Design decision

Why the clamp-on campers are bolted, not welded.

By choice. It does reduce shipping and import cost, but that is the smaller half of the reason.

  1. 01

    Damage stays local

    Catch a rock, a tree, or a garage door on a fully welded canopy and you are replacing the entire structure. Bolted panels mean the damaged panel comes off and a new one goes on.

  2. 02

    The canopy is allowed to move

    Weatherstripping between each panel lets the canopy flex slightly under load. A fully rigid welded box has nowhere to put that stress, so over time it finds a weld or a corner to crack.

  3. 03

    We build it the way we would repair it

    We are fabricators and welders by trade with over fifteen years of manufacturing behind us. Welding it all together is the easy path. Designing it to come apart is the useful one.

Modular by design

  • Tent canvas damaged?It zips on. We replace the canvas, not the camper.
  • Panel damaged?It is bolted on. Single panel replacement, no full teardown.
  • Hinge or latch worn out?Standard hardware, generic replacement, available here.
  • Weatherstripping tired?Generic profile, easy to source and swap.
  • New truck, different bed?The canopy may not carry over, but Frontier and Summit tent dimensions are standardized, so we can replace the canopy panels and reuse the pop-up. The Apex is more vehicle-specific, though we can build one to fit multiple trucks.
Design & R&D

We scan, model, and prototype before anything gets cut.

Fitment work happens in CAD against a 3D scan of the actual vehicle, not a tape measure and a guess. Specs are driven by PNW conditions: wet climates, rough roads, temperature swings.

The same process drives every upgrade we roll out: exterior MOLLE panels, mounting standardization, revised hardware, and fitment for trucks nobody else builds for.

Our installer

Camper installs, handled by Allied Motorsport.

Campers are installed by Allied Motorsport, a family-owned 4x4 shop in Snohomish, WA with over 40 years of combined experience.

Allied is also our go-to for lift kits, suspension, armor, and full custom builds, so if you want to outfit your rig beyond the camper, they are the team to talk to.

Straight answers

The questions people actually ask.

Is this just a rebadged Chinese camper?

Ours will look familiar next to other aluminum campers, because aluminum campers share a shape. What differs is underneath: our own design revisions, our hardware choices, our sealing standard, and dozens of small tweaks per unit that we make here. The structure is fabricated to our spec. The camper is assembled and finished by us.

At your price I might as well buy American made.

Compare carefully, and ask any builder the same question you asked us: which parts are fabricated here, and which are sourced. Plenty of aluminum campers on the market are assembled in the US from overseas components, which is what we do. We would rather tell you that up front than let you find out later.

What is not in question: your purchase supports a US business and the people working in our shop. We assemble, finish, and back these campers in Washington.

Who honors the warranty?

We do, for two years, full coverage, from Monroe. No overseas claim process and no middleman. The team that signed off on your camper is the team that fixes it.

Read the warranty policy

Can I still get parts in five years?

That is the reason for the modular design. Panels, latches, hinges, struts, weatherstripping, and canvas are all individually replaceable, and we stock components here rather than ordering them per claim.

Can you build for an unusual truck?

Often, yes. Send us the vehicle and what you want to do with it. If it is a fitment we have not scanned before, that is a conversation about timing, not a no.
