Tuner AEV (American Expedition Vehicles) and Truck House have dropped the covers and present their latest coup: the BCR Overlander. A thoroughly all-terrain off-road camper that turns every camping trip into a luxury experience. But the mighty high-end camper isn't just another sluggish caravan. No, the BCR is based on that AEV Prospector XL, which in turn is on the beefy Ram 3500 pickup builds up. And the prospector beast has a lot to offer even without a camping attachment. Starting with the massive Steel front bumper via Highmarkfender flares to the color matching ones 17-inch wheels, which deals with the huge 40-inchOff-road tires breast. There is no doubt that the BCR is ready to conquer any terrain!

And that's not all. Optionally, practical things like additional lights for optimal illumination at night and a winch with a full 20.000 lbs of traction (over 9 tons). The winch is not only useful when digging the camper out of the mud, but can also be extremely helpful when recovering other vehicles. The BCR is also equipped with a 3-inch DualSport RT off-road chassis equipped and those interested can choose between the normal and the spacious crew cab configuration. A powerful Cummins diesel or a brute Hemi V8 are also available as drive sources.

Luxurious Camping - Away from civilization

But the BCR is more than just a powerhouse on four wheels. He is also a luxurious one Camper. The living area is in a one piece carbon fiber shell accommodates up to four adults with a king-size bed in the alcove and a U-shaped dining area that converts into a full bed.

But not only that! Of course, the BCR comes with all sorts of conveniences. There are various Fans, StarLink Compatibility and a robust one Battery, which supplies the various systems. The kitchenette in the rear structure has an induction hob, a combination of oven and microwave, a sink and a fridge with freezer compartment. And when it comes to the toilet, the BCR even offers a choice between three systems – a cassette toilet, dry flush or composting.

And for those who don't want to sacrifice comfort even outdoors, there are even more options like one Air conditioning, a heated one floor and one 32 inch LED TV. A practical pass-through to the driver's cab also successfully rounds off the offer. If you are already hooked on the BCR Overlander, you can do it with a Pre-order deposit of $10.000. Interest is high and the pre-order phase has already begun. However, how do you say it? Good things take time. The first deliveries of the BCR Overlander are not planned until spring 2024.
