We are currently fulfilling orders from customers in the order they were received. If you have expressed interest in the past and have been added to our mailing list you are already in the production queue! As units come available we will contact interested clients, if purchasing is still your desire we will move forward with a down payment and colour options. If you decide not to move forward with a purchase the unit is offered to the next interested customer. If you would like to be added to the customer list please enter your information into the mailing list below, for any other questions feel free to contact us directly via email or phone.

Simplicity, durability and quality of construction are what separate a purpose built expedition unit from a standard camper design. Overall size, weight and center of gravity all play major roles in how a unit performs in aggressive off-road environments. The EXP-1 was designed to excel in these conditions and is the driving force for many of the design elements. For instance, the roof mounted solar panels on the prototype unit were an acceptable choice but had a high weight penalty. Weight at the top of the unit impacts the on and off-road handling the most severely, so great effort was put into finding a superior alternative. The thin film panels we are currently using provide greater efficiency with a much lower weight rating while actually increasing their durability and resistance to hail damage.

All Exo-Body units are made from insulated panels constructed from structural grade aluminum with a high density insulating core. The exoskeleton of the structure is built with custom aluminum extrusion profiles designed to absorb the high racking and twisting forces experienced in all terrain use. By avoiding the use of organic materials (ie. wood) in all of our construction, rot and mold issues are non-existent. The lightweight nature of these materials let us produce designs that lead the industry in regard to both weight savings and durability.

The EXP-1 was designed to provide most of the comforts of home while still being fully capable off-road. To reach this goal we had to optimize every facet of the design. The majority of the layout is based around weight and balance. For example, the front battery bank location is positioned to help offset the added rear weight from the fridge. The extra storage on the ladder rack, and passenger side overhead cabinets offset the load from the fresh water tank. The unit functions best when all elements work together, which is why we price it with all options included. This decision also lets us be fully transparent with the price and unit specifications. The unit's weight, measured with high accuracy scales, is listed on the specification sheet with ALL options on board. Its price is treated the same, no surprise charges and zero hidden fees.

Weight, durability and thermal isolation. Glass is a great material for windows in stationary applications where heat loss isn't a major factor and weight isn't a consideration. To retain a greater level of insulation on the EXP, we had to remove all thermal bridges (areas where exterior temperatures can conduct into the interior cabin), the windows are a major source of this. By replacing the windows with 2 layers of acrylic separated with a large internal airspace we can increase the insulation value with a low weight penalty as acrylic is a much better insulator and lighter in weight. We searched all over the world for a true 2 layer thermally isolated window but everything currently available was either of poor quality, or contained areas where both layers contacted one another (severely reducing its thermal rating). This drove us to manufacture our own windows to meet these requirements. These windows performed so well with our prototype unit we now offer this same design to our commercial / industrial clients.

Installation is complimentary at our facility on all new unit sales. There are some situations that may require additional charges during installation but most modern trucks are set up from the factory to accommodate this, such as upfitter switches. While it is possible to install the expedition unit yourself, we highly recommend using our service for the initial installation. We will mount quick connect fittings on vehicle side connecting the DC-DC charger, marker lights and off-road lighting. This makes removing and reinstalling the unit into the truck box quick and simple. The full procedure for unit removal / installation is listed in our owners manual.

There are 4 extendable jacks that contact the underside of the box rails to lock the unit to the truck box (full details in owners manual). All of these jack locations are accessible from the inside of the unit and require 1 tool (included) to operate. By securing the unit from inside of the box we are able to keep the exterior sides flush to the truck body, greatly increasing its ability to navigate narrow passages. This is the same reason we have made the electric lifting legs fully removable, as it helps keep the unit width to a minimum, and avoids the need to haul around unnecessary weight.

The detailed spec sheet listed at the top of this page lists all elements included with this design in great detail, you can also access the same document by clicking here. For any other questions please feel free to reach out to us via email or phone.

Our 2020 launch price is $84,700 CAD ($65, 470 USD*) which includes all options as well as installation at our facility in Edmonton, Alberta.  Should the global health environment change in the coming year we will revisit the option for remote installation work.
