The Base Camp is setting the standard for cabin-on-chassis campers as a mid-weight contender for serious expedition travel. Based on the Ford F-Series chassis cab platform, the vehicle can be equipped to spec by the customer before being sent to OEV HQ in Canada for integration of the camper to the truck. It’s in a league of its own with a generous living space full of high-end features and immense storage space in and around the camper. The Base Camp pushes the boundaries of an expedition vehicle with a dialed balance between size and capability.
