The First Vote was a battlefield. 428 entered. Only 24 survived. Your new mission: pick your top 5. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and only you can finish the job. For the love of campers, vote now—before it’s too late!
The moment has arrived. The 2026 Calendar finalists are in, and tensions are high. Did your first-round favorites survive the cut? Of the 24 photos that did, how is anyone supposed to choose just five? Each one is a knockout.
Let’s be honest. This isn’t your average everyday challenge. Navy SEAL training? Manageable. NASA’s centrifuge test? A quick turn. Removing a tailgate with an integrated camera cable? Damn near impossible, but you got it done. Narrowing 24 epic shots down to 5? Now that’s a mission that tests even the most seasoned truck camper pros.
Fortunately, truck campers aren’t ordinary. We’re not the pull-behind, plug-in-and-park, unpack the pancake mix, and whistle Dixie crowd. We’re off-road, off-grid, and way, way out there with our overland maps and think-we-know-where-we’re-going-so-stop-asking attitude that won’t quit.
So yes—it’s hard. It’s nearly impossible. But impossible is our comfort zone. Five from twenty-four? Bring it. We’ve got this, truck campers! The final vote starts now.
All 13 calendar winners will have their winning photograph and the story behind their photograph featured in the magazine. The 13-winners will also receive a free 2026 Truck Camper Magazine Calendar.
Finalist voting starts now and ends Wednesday, October 29th at 11:59pm PST. Here are the 24-finalists from the first calendar vote in numerical order:
