The RV intel on truck campers from the Fall 2026 edition of Wildsam magazine.

[Rig Watch]

Outpost Campers 6.5

Truck campers don’t come much better built or more thoughtfully designed than the Outpost 6.5. Sized to fit most half-ton or larger pickups with a 6.5-foot bed, this rig has a stylish, roomy and modern interior stacked with a plethora of nice features. Those include a 6’ 5” ceiling height, powder-coated aluminum cabinets and a plush, queen-size bed. A versatile dinette converts to a second sleep space, while an induction cooktop, 90L refrigerator, stainless-steel sink and bamboo countertops stand out in the kitchen. Overlanders and boondockers will appreciate the 250W solar panel and 5kWh lithium battery, not to mention the copious amounts of onboard storage. Optional upgrades include additional solar, a diesel heater and an indoor shower. MSRP: $41,995; outpost-campers.com

[Spec Sheet]

What is Block Foam Insulation?

Made from lightweight, rigid and moisture-resistant foam boards, this type of insulation provides good thermal regulation without adding much weight or bulk. The material comes in various thicknesses, with thicker boards offering  more protection from changing temperatures. The boards are cut to fit and installed inside the walls of an RV and play a key role in regulating the interior temperature.

[RV Destination]

Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah

Dramatic views of high-desert plateaus, twisting canyons and sweeping landscapes make this a must-visit for any adventurous RVer. Add in miles of trails to explore and some of the best stargazing in the country, and you end up with one epic off-the-radar destination. Kayenta Campground makes a great base camp, with electrical hookups, modern bathrooms and access to nearby trails. Book your reservations early.

[By the Numbers]

25.2

The percentage increase in truck camper sales in 2025 compared to 2024, according to the RV Industry Association. That’s the largest growth rate of any RV category, spurred on by an increasing number of options to choose from and the rise in popularity of overlanding and off-grid camping.
