Press Release: AM Launches New Off-Grid Truck Camper Brand, Scout
Well-Established Adventure Vehicle Manufacturer Introduces A New, Innovative Product for The Truck Camper Industry
Yakima, Washington (April 15th, 2020) - Adventurer Manufacturing Ltd., maker of the award-winning truck camper brands Adventurer and Eagle Cap, announced today the launch of their new brand Scout and its first model The Scout Olympic. This new, innovative truck camper is comprised of components that are completely detachable and can be used independently from the unit, redefining the possibilities of what a truck camper can be.
The portability design and multi-functional nature of Scout has created a new direction in the off-grid camper industry that Adventurer Manufacturing is thrilled to embark on. The first model of the fleet is the Scout Olympic 6.5 has a base weight of only 1161 lbs, can sleep up to 6 individuals, supports off-grid travels, and is now available for purchase starting at $19.980 USD. The Olympic targets the smaller half-ton trucks all the way up to full-size trucks. This includes trucks like the Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan, Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Chevrolet and GMC 1500. The Scout Olympic 6.5 will also fit all the box sizes from the 5.5-foot box length all the way up to the 8-foot bed.
As CEO David Epp explains, forward-thinking features have been carefully designed and selected to reflect Scout’s pioneering spirit. The unit’s components can be enjoyed “inside out”: the dining table, water storage, battery, and more optional features can be enjoyed outdoors and even taken on other expeditions without the camper itself. The exterior storage tray also doubles as a functional table-top letting users cook and spend more time outside.
A highlight of Scout is its industry-first add-ons. This includes a pop-up tent that increases sleeping capacity by 2 and can be accessed from inside the camper, a propane real flame 4.5 BTU fireplace which provides ample warmth for 4-season travel and a cosy feeling, and removeable camper jacks which lower the travel weight and grant more maneuverability.
One of Scout’s main virtues is its simplicity inspired by nature. The units require little energy to run and there is an overall reduced need for power due to carefully thought design like a gravity-fed water system, detachable water storage with filtration, a 175W monocrystalline solar panel, a lithium power station with built-in inverter, and the optional propane fireplace. Scout emphasizes the use of natural resources, letting users travel self-sufficiently without limits.
Scout is a highly-customizable camper catered to adventurous families, freedom seekers, minimalist travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts. The brand was born as an alternative solution to the rigid and inflexible nature of traditional RVs. Unlike any other, these lightweight truck campers were built with simplicity and flexibility in mind which has led to their highly versatile, innovative design.
Adventurer Manufacturing has ensured their high-quality standards have been passed down to Scout as well as their 3-year structural warranty. Scouts are built of a lightweight, no-wood, no-rot composite construction. They are built to endure the most extreme elements and last for generations.
Later this year Scout will be launching 2 more models to fit more truck sizes: the Kenai and the Yoho. The Kenai will be the biggest of the fleet, including a full bathroom, wardrobe, and more exterior storage. The Yoho will be the smallest and lightest, made especially for smaller import sized trucks. Both will honor the simplistic, versatile nature that Scout as a brand represents.
