- Page 3 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 1: FEATURES Your Camp M camper is constructed with materials and methods exceeding anything that is available on the current market. There are 3 types of composites used in the construction of your new camper, all selected for optimum performance in their respective applications. All of our composites are proprietary, manufactured in USA and Canada to our specifications, and assembled by Canadian craftsmen with years of experience.
- Page 4 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 1: FEATURES CONTINUED The interior cabinets are all CNC cut and formed 5052 marine grade aluminum for durability. All hinges are marine grade stainless; all cabinet doors are polymer sheet material, an FDA and USDA approved material. The cabinets are media blasted and powder coated with a textured polyester powder coat for durability, appearance, and ease of maintenance.
- Page 5 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 2: RAISING AND LOWERING THE ROOF The roof on your Camp M is designed to be easy to raise and lower, and be very structural when opened fully, and closed. 1. Remove safety pins and release all 4 heavy duty roof latches...
- Page 6 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 2. From the inside, lift up on the roof near the rear, close to the rear hinge. The hinge is designed to provide lift assistance for the initial raising of the roof, and the assist struts are designed to pick up the second stage of lift, so relatively low force is required to raise the roof.
- Page 7 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 3. Once the roof has raised, using the handle on the hinge, push the handle towards the soft wall until it over centers and the top half and bottom half of the hinge are in contact. This will lock the hinge; it is generally very obvious as it basically “snaps” into the locked position.

- Page 9 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles Roof in raised position. 6. To lower the roof, connect the bungee cords between the side walls. This is to help fold the soft walls in. The soft walls only require a small amount of force at the initial part of the drop to help fold the top inwards.
- Page 10 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles Bungee cords installed; they start the folding process for the soft wall. 7. Unlock the front hinge by pulling the handle away from the soft wall, and continue pulling until the front of the top is lowered. The hinge can be moved vertically with the handle to assist in aligning the top as it comes down.
- Page 11 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 8. Unlock the rear hinge by pulling the handle away from the soft wall, again, vertical movement of the hinge handle will assist in the alignment of the top while it is coming down. 9. From the outside, ensure all of the soft wall has folded into the camper, and nothing is in the mating area of the top to the cabin.

Opening Propane Tank: Before opening the valve on the propane tank, first make sure ALL propane appliances inside the camper are turned OFF. Once you are sure all propane appliances are turned off, then you can safely open the valve on the propane tank.
- Page 13 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles If you haven’t used the camper in a while, and you open the propane tank valve too quickly, you might have restricted flow. It is best to open the propane tank valve very slowly, wait a few minutes, and then start using the propane appliances.

Your Camp X has a 4 pin Anderson connector that has 2 6-gauge conductors that supply the 12-volt connection between the truck and camper.

The fuse panel is located on the back of the control panel, to access the fuses simply open the latches at the top of the control panel and it will swing down. All circuits are marked for capacity, all 12-volt circuits are distributed from this point, use only fuse sizes specified.
- Page 18 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 7. Water pump. The water pump is located under the dinette floor. There is a strainer on the inlet of the pump that may require cleaning and servicing that is dependant on water supply. Inspect and clean the strainer as required or annually, it simply screws off and back on, use caution to make sure the sealing O ring is correctly reinstalled when reassembling.

The drain for the water tank is located between the tank and the pump, and the drain point could be on the left- or right-hand side at the front of the camper.
- Page 20 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles Fresh water level can be measured visually through provided sight slots 9. Winterizing. To winterize your Camp M, open the tank drain valve located under the dinette seat and leave open. It is best to set the camper at a slight angle to maximize the amount of water that drains from the tank.
- Page 21 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles 10. De-winterizing. Close drain valve, fill fresh water tank to desired level. It is a good time to sanitize the fresh water tank and that will be covered below. Put the winterizing valve into the summer or in use position, close any open taps, and turn on the water pump. Open each tap including the outside shower until water flows clean and clear, we like to run quite a bit of water through just for personal preference.

- Page 27 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles OEV Front camper tie down bracket mounts to box floor and into OEM frame mounts, preventing the camper from hitting or rubbing the front of the box. It also locks it in side to side, this prevents damage to the truck and camper, it also reduces the amount of tension adjustment required especially when combined with the spring loaded Tork Lift Fast Gun turnbuckles.
- Page 28 The use of a rubber floor mat under the camper is required, this protects your investment into your truck, and your camper. Overland Explorer is not responsible for any damage to your vehicle or your camper if mounted any other way than specified.
- Page 29 Overland Explorer Expedition Vehicles This prevents having to put your arms between the camper and the truck bed, you can make the connection in a location in front of the camper which is safer. After the electrical connection is established, continue to back in until the front of the camper is in light contact with the mounting bracket.
