Watch out, truck campers! The TCM team is going to Overland Expo West.

We started on opposite ends of the country before meeting up in Texas and working our way westward. All the while we’ve been writing articles, shooting content, interviewing manufacturers, and publishing Truck Camper Magazine from the road—per usual.

Next stop, Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona. See you there!

Truck Camper Magazine is borrowing a 2026 Rugged Mountain Granite Platinum prototype unit for extended real-world testing, and nearly everything about this camper is a first for us.

First composite panel camper.
First long-term test with a 12-volt compressor refrigerator.
First Truma Combi.
First Victron system with 628Ah of lithium.
First time living with 1,000 watts of solar.
First RecPro Houghton air conditioner.

The Granite Platinum is @ruggedmntrv’s first all-composite build, utilizing a Globe Trekker composite wall and extrusion system with no internal wood or aluminum frame. Combined with a heated basement, large lithium system, and fully integrated Victron setup, this camper gives us the opportunity to experience a number of newer truck camper technologies firsthand.

But how do these systems actually perform in real-world camping conditions?

Does composite construction make a noticeable difference in comfort?

Can 1,000 watts of solar and 628Ah of lithium really support off-grid air conditioning?

We’re about to find out.

Follow along as we put the Granite Platinum through real-world truck camping conditions and report what we learn on Truck Camper Magazine.

Open floor plan or center peninsula?

@hostcampers new Center Kitchen floorplan for the Mammoth and Yukon triple-slides moves the sink to a center peninsula, adds counter space and storage, and creates a completely different feel inside the camper.

The traditional open floor plan remains available, and according to Host, reactions at Overland Expo PNW were split nearly 50/50 between the two layouts.

Which floor plan would you choose?

The @lancecamper 1062 double slide opens up to reveal a wide floor space, a roomy dinette, and a spacious dry bath.

- 45 gallons of fresh water

- Optional 5,000 watt inverter

Did you know @alaskan.campers builds both slide-in and flatbed campers?

Would you go with the more lightweight and versatile slide-in? Or would you opt for the rear dinette and storage in the flatbed?

Stick around until the end of the video to see inside both platforms and let us know which one you would choose in the comments.

Step inside the dry bath of a @hostcampers Mammoth triple-slide truck camper. If you’re someone who needs space, likes privacy, and wants a bathroom with the comforts of home, this camper checks the boxes.

Okay, you’ve seen enough. Time to let Gordon go about his business.

#truckcampermagazine #hostmammoth

Being able to access the bathroom on a slide-out truck camper is a huge benefit while on the road. Is it possible in the triple-slide @ruggedmntrv Denali 3S?

Interested in learning more about the Denali 3S or the new composite Denali 3SC? Head over to TCM! See you there.
