Building your custom truck camper: OVRLND Campers “secret menu”

When ordering a new truck camper from OVRLND Campers you’ll see a list of options and add-ons on their website — and that list is pretty long! But did you know they can do even more customization and modifications to perfectly tailor it to your needs? I like to think of it similar to the In ‘N Out Burgers secret menu. They’re not going to advertise it, but they’ll try their hardest to make it the way you order.

Secret Menu when ordering your OVRLND Camper

I’m sure the crew at OVRLND Campers would attempt to make you a four by four animal style burger and extra crispy fries with cheese, but that’s not what they specialize in. Instead they’ll turn your 4×4 overland vehicle into a custom-made home on wheels, all while keeping the weight down around 400lbs.

I’ll break down the list into 2 sections: What “secret” items I had done to my camper and items I skipped (but you may find useful).

What I did:

• Taller barn door opening height for my asymmetrical barn doors. Makes getting in and out, loading tall items easier.
• Bed support railing Unistrut extended all the way to the rear of the camper. Great for hanging accessories from the wall such as trash bins, storage baskets, hooks, fire extinguishers.
• 11″ cabover height (that’s three extra inches) for more bedding when collapsed. Another benefit is the interior has more headroom both when collapsed and popped up.
• Add more horizontal or vertical studs where you think you’ll need them for attaching heavy items.
• Slide-latch lock for flip up hatch: let’s you lock the side hatch from the inside and/or get double security.
• Requested the bed slide platform be shortened from 80″ to 74″. This gave us 6 extra inches of standing room when the bed is extended. Only works if you’re shorter than 74″.
• Added 8020 horizontal mounting bars to barn door exterior.

Here are photos of some of these add-ons and modifications I did for my build…

What I skipped:

• Extra space between vehicle roof and cabover of camper (makes room for a roof rack).
• Ports and openings cut into sidewalls for diesel heater ducts, water inlets, propane hoses, electrical plugs, etc.
• Exterior lighting, cameras (you provide), and other items you might want mounted on the outside.
• Longer barn door catches to allow for bigger items to be mounted to barn doors. Limits barn doors from hitting the side of camper when opened.
• Have solar gland cables wired down to either side of the camper. If you don’t specify, they route it down the rear of the driver side.

I’m sure there are even more add-ons and modifications OVRLND Campers can make for you if you bring them ideas.

OVRLND Campers recently added a “Bread and Butter” option to their lineup which means you get all the most-wanted features of their camper but can’t make any changes like the ones you see in this list. Those are slightly discounted since they can streamline those campers and push them out pretty quick.

Overall they’re a great company to work with and if you need custom work they are the most flexible company out of all the competitors I researched in this segment.
