For offroad truck campers in Washington, 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.

Backcountry routes and trip planning

The Washington Backcountry Discovery Route and the forest-road networks around it are a big part of why people ask about offroad campers here. A light pop-up lets you cover that kind of route with an ordinary midsize or full-size truck rather than a dedicated expedition rig.

• Break the route into legs with fuel and supply stops
• Download offline maps before you lose signal
• Keep recovery gear reachable, not buried under the camper

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. All three campers work year-round: the Frontier and Summit add an optional thermal liner and have built-in ports for a diesel heater, and the Apex adds an insulated, fully welded aluminum body.
• 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.
