OVS Expedition Cap

Installed mine exactly one month ago. It's been raining where I live. I didn't notice the inside of the bed getting wet at all. I imagine if I had put on more Butyl sealant tape on the corners it woudl've helped even more. As for offroading/dirt getting in, I haven't tested yet but could imagine it being the same as the rain. The topper so far has been really impressive. I was able to just install it myself by carefully/ loosly clamping on the side panels and aligning perfectly the panels onto the truck bed, and then re-tightened after the initial 50-100 miles. Been driving over 500+ miles with the new camper and no problem at all. I checked after driving 300 miles and only one clamp was slightly loose which I re-tightened. Like some of the other folks have said, with this modular design you can switch out with the different panels coming Q2 of 2025 (panel with side window, sliding rack, storage shelves, +more).

 

I have done the retightening after a few hundred miles. I also adjusted the back latches tighter. The only water/dust comes from around the tailgate as with any topper. I will look at adding a gasket of some kind this spring

 

if the storage shelves are not over priced at launch I will get one for the passenger side, maybe the weight will help level it out a bit.

 

Hope OVS makes their cap for a long bed down the road.

 

they had it 25% OFF on Dec 7th at the Red Bull event in Santa Fe Spring CA. Got one, installed one and its really cool.

 

Been rocking this cap for about a week now, loving it so far.

 

Really wish they would make a 6ft version of this. I’d buy in a heartbeat beat.

 

Any one done anything to keep it cool inside the cap? The OBS top has almost no vents, it gets way too hot for the dogs. Trying to figure out how to vent more air in the shell. Any ideas?

 

Anyone have the roof rack cross bars yet? I am really thinking of this cap but need to add my tent to the top. know if any other racks fit the t-tracks?

 

Crossbars took awhile to get here but they were very easy to install and are holding up very well. I have a 200lb CVT rooftop tent mounted on top and take it everywhere, no problem so far. I think several other cross bars will fit - I’ve seen xtrusion overland and the Sherpa universal cross bars personally. I’m sure other brands using the same bolts for the cross bars will work.
