For offroad campers near Eugene, OR, our advice is to keep the camper light, keep it narrow enough for forest roads and check the truck's payload before anything else. Our shop is in Monroe, WA, roughly 300 miles from Eugene.

Where Eugene offroad trips go

Popular offroad and dispersed-camping destinations from Eugene include:

• The Willamette National Forest
• The McKenzie River corridor
• The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area

Eugene is a short drive from the McKenzie River and the Willamette National Forest in one direction and the Oregon Dunes and coast in the other. Wet west-side forest roads and sandy coastal access are different problems, and a lighter camper is easier on both.

What the roads ask of a camper

Wet forest roads are soft, rutted and brushy, and they ask for a camper that is light and no wider than it needs to be. Plan on mud and overhanging branches.

Choosing between Frontier, Summit and Apex

• Summit: The wide-body pop-up. It clamps on the same way, weighs about 480 to 570 lb and sleeps three or four, with standing height of roughly 6 ft 7 in or more under the soft-wall tent. Extra headroom is what you notice on a rainy evening, when you want to cook and change clothes standing up.
• Frontier: The wedge pop-up. It clamps on with no drilling, weighs about 300 to 350 lb, sleeps one or two adults, and closes down to 9 inches tall, so it barely changes how the truck drives or parks.
• Apex: The four-season slide-in pop-up truck camper. It is fully welded aluminum with no wood and 1-inch XPS insulation, built to your bed length from 5 ft to 8 ft, with base weights from 1,029 to 1,316 lb.

Shipping to Eugene, or a road trip to Monroe

We are in Monroe, WA, roughly 300 miles from Eugene, and that is the only place we install and service campers. We do not have a dealer or installer near you, and we would rather say so up front. What works from Eugene: Frontier and Summit ship disassembled with free shipping to the contiguous US, and the assembly instructions walk you through putting one together and clamping it on at home. The Apex can be drop-shipped from the factory without its battery and needs a forklift to unload, so we recommend having it installed in Monroe. Or make the trip to Monroe for an install and a walk-through. Questions about either route: (425) 908-0259.
