For offroad campers near Spokane, WA, 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 280 miles from Spokane.

Where Spokane offroad trips go

Popular offroad and dispersed-camping destinations from Spokane include:

• Mount Spokane State Park
• The Colville National Forest
• The Idaho Panhandle forests just across the border

Eastern Washington trades the west side's moss for dust and long sightlines. From Spokane you can be in the Selkirks, the Colville National Forest or northern Idaho in a couple of hours, on roads that are gravel and washboard far more often than they are mud.

Three campers, one question: how much truck do you have

• 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. Low weight is easy on the truck over washboard and long gravel miles.
• 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.
• 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.

What the roads ask of a camper

Dust, washboard and loose gravel dominate here. They reward a light camper and hardware that stays tight, so check mounting hardware after rough trips.

Honest logistics for Spokane buyers

We are in Monroe, WA, roughly 280 miles from Spokane, 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 Spokane: 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.
