Benefits of Slide-In Pop-Up
Truck Bed Campers
Camp anywhere
No campground booking required. Pull off wherever you want and you're home. The camper goes where the truck goes.
No trailer hassle
Slide-in campers don't require a hitch, a brake controller, or a separate license. Hook up nothing. Just load and drive.
Easier to maneuver
On-road or off, a truck with a slide-in camper handles like a truck. Tight trails, narrow roads, and tricky campsites stay accessible.
Saves on lodging
Your accommodation travels with you. Hotels, resorts, and RV parks are optional rather than mandatory.
Slides in and out
When the camping trip ends, the camper comes off. Your truck goes back to being a truck. No permanent commitment.
Built for off-road
OEV builds slide-in campers from 100% composite materials. No wood anywhere, inside or out. Lighter, stronger, and made for real use.
Slide-In Pop-Up
Truck Bed Campers
Slide-in pop-up truck campers offer single campers, camping pairs, and camping families the ease and convenience of camping anywhere right from their truck beds. These campers slide into your factory truck bed and provide the most important amenities for a successful trip: warm sleeping quarters, a kitchen area, meal preparation space, and storage for your gear.
At Overland Explorer Vehicles, our slide-in pop-up truck bed campers are built from 100% composite materials. No wood in the shell and no wood in the interior furniture. These units are built to handle off-road use without deteriorating over time. The result is a camper that is lightweight, thermally superior, and more comfortable than wood-frame alternatives.

Slide-In Pop-Up Truck Camper FAQ
Do I need a flatbed to use a slide-in pop-up truck camper?
No. Slide-in campers are designed to load directly into your factory truck bed. No flatbed conversion required. The OEV Back Country 6.85' fits standard 6.5' to 8' beds on half-ton through one-ton trucks. If your truck still has its factory bed, you are ready to go.
What trucks are compatible with the OEV slide-in camper?
The Back Country 6.85' fits half-ton, three-quarter-ton, and one-ton pickup trucks with a factory bed. That covers most full-size trucks including the Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, Chevy Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500. Bed length and payload rating determine fit. A build consultation will confirm compatibility for your specific truck.
How much does an OEV slide-in pop-up camper weigh?
The Back Country 6.85' has a dry weight of 1,275 lbs. That is significantly lighter than most comparable slide-in campers, which typically run 1,800 to 2,500 lbs. The difference comes down to construction: OEV uses 100% composite panels throughout, with no wood anywhere in the shell or interior furniture.
Are slide-in pop-up campers good for off-road use?
Yes, and this is where OEV campers are built to stand out. The composite shell flexes with the truck rather than cracking under torsional stress the way wood-frame campers do. There are no wood components to absorb moisture, rot, or delaminate on rough trails. The result is a lightweight slide-in camper that holds up on dirt roads, forest service roads, and technical off-road terrain.
What is the difference between a slide-in and a flatbed truck camper?
A slide-in camper loads into and out of your factory truck bed. Your truck keeps its factory bed, and the camper comes off when you do not need it. A flatbed camper requires replacing the factory bed with an aluminum flatbed, then mounting the camper permanently or semi-permanently to that flatbed. Flatbed campers are larger and typically used on heavy-duty trucks like the F-450, F-550, and RAM 4500/5500. If you have a standard pickup and want flexibility, a slide-in is the right choice. If you are running a cab-and-chassis setup or want maximum interior space, a flatbed system makes more sense.
