Truck Camper Interiors Gone Wild
We asked Truck Camper Magazine readers to show us their reimagined camper interiors and holy smokes did they come through. Think all camper interiors are brown, tan or grey? Think again!
Camp out and connect with fellow truck camper enthusiasts at the Texas Truck Camper Rally, May 21–24, in Ingram, Texas, at Johnson Creek RV Resort. The rally is open to all, and spots are still available!
Truck Camper Magazine’s Eric and Sarah Hyde reveal their new truck: a 2026 Ford F-350 XL. Here’s why they chose Ford, how they configured their truck, and the thinking behind each decision. And the payload sticker says…
In three videos, Jim Cathey reveals what he learned from driving from Idaho to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in a Ford F-350 and Northern Lite 8-11 rig—in February! This is essential viewing for anyone interested in serious winter camping and truly self-reliant travel. Prepare yourself, and watch.
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?
