The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

Pretty sure its all made in town in Portland.

 

Thats awesome if it is. I didnt bring up the weights because it would bug me if the extrusion wasnt local. I wasnt planning on licking it. Well, maybe once after the install....

 

Wait is finally over

think we just missed each other

 

SP tries to source everything local and made in the USA

 

Been eyeing the expedition essentials maxtrax holder. But holy crap, not aure i want to spend 350 bucks. I plan on mounting them to one of the side doors. Any of you with the camper already have other ideas?

 

There are less expensive ways, but @nudavinci64 loves his mount.

You could mount to a roof rack attached to your truck cab or on the roof of the SuperPacific with load bars/cross bars.

Fill up your gas tank, @EnBoo !

 

Just got my email for deposit and color choice. They said there build times are faster now. Instead of December im looking at mid October. I have a MGM and was thinking black with a grey tent. Any opinions?

 

Their. Sorry

 

Wow, mine is supposed to be december too.....wonder if ill hear something sooner too.

 

Scheduled my install for mid August!

 

I can't tell if I'm just drunk or what. But I got the email and scheduled my install for 8/17.

@JasonLee thanks for volunteering for the road trip

 

Hope you do. If we’re there the same time time I’ll buy you a beer!

 

Twin falls Idaho is not a bad spot to stop for the night i was able to get from denver to there and Portland in 2 days depending how you drive.

 

Did you camp ?

 

i did not sadly. I was planning on it, but work got crazy right before i left and didn’t really have my shit together and or anything packed or knew where i put it. so stayed at a hotel with points as we had to come straight back due to work. Still a sour subject when i bring it up with my wife lol.

 

Yah it’s def not needed. But it’s slick mount and I put off buying it before. It went all in in an impulse buy before our last Baja trip

it’s def a well built setup. I could have mounted slightly higher it just missed the key hole. I did use some 1/2” if I recall maybe 3/4” plastic washers to angle the bottom. Thai makes it so you can still open the door. whether you use this mount or not you will need new gas struts. I have 100lb ones on now. Up from 45lbers. I may go up to 120lb. It opens fine but would like some extra pop on the open.

 

I had one fail on my trip in Baja. Funny enough I hacked one up A brace down there. Happen to have a drill and extra t slots. Found a commercial shop with flat steel. I will say in heavy winds the tends moves a lot. The brace is needed for this alone but can serve as a backup for any reason. Now it’s sits on the side. Sent a note that it would be good to build in some ring like this when needed. The SP folks were quick to send replacements.

 

That’s what I went with great combo

 

Good to hear. Any pics of your set up?
