Link to Lone Peak Overland. Look for yourself.
First off, yes, I am an affiliate with Lone Peak. Although it was purchased with my own money. I have been Following along with Kyle since he started Lone Peak and accidentally met him and his prototype camper at the gym long before sales went live. Which for me, was pretty cool.
My Lone Peak has just about every accessory except the Squach Spotter Light Bar, Rear window and front slider window. At the time of purchase. (End of 2024). Lone peak has yet to release their diesel heater (Hot Box). I’m sure there will be other new options and additional accessories in the future.
Exterior:
So far, the accessories I have purchased outside of Lone Peak’s official website are these Rain Gutters for your Lone Peak, which reduce the amount of runoff right over the driver and passenger doors. As well as these Handle/Latch covers. I do have some other small things from that Etsy page as well that are less notable.
On top of the camper, I optioned for 2 solar panels and their wiring harness. These have been providing me with more than enough power even in the dead of winter. I’m excited to see how they do in good weather this summer. So far, I do recommend these. (Update, these panels provide an insane amount of power in good sunlight)
One last thing about the solar panels. I do have a concern about tree branches hitting the wiring on the roof. So far I haven’t devised a solution. Whatever I do, I’ll try to protect the vent fan while I’m at it.
Wind noise, on my F150 has been minimal. I honestly thought I would hear something. However, I did install the channel covers on the forward facing T slots in the extrude. Overall, not a concern.
Early on in production (first 100 campers or so) I heard about an issue with the back window. I didn’t get a rear window, but it sounds like Lone Peak has since solved the issue.
Also, with those first few campers Lone Peak sent, there was an issue with the rear door falling off. Lone Peak did a good job resolving the issue. They found a different set of hinges to move forward with production. Lone Peak also sent out the updated hinges to customers who had the old version. Near the end of 2024 Lone Peak posted a YouTube video about what they learned in the first 500 campers they built. They address these issues in the video.
The doors and latches are pretty basic. Same for the locking mechanism. I don’t really see any issues with them. I know some people have asked about mounting things to the outside of the door, but for now that does not appear to be a viable option.
Another exterior (kind of) option I took was the diesel heater port. I have not tried to plumb the heat in through the tent yet, but the port has been awesome. It also can be locked from the inside to keep out unwanted intrusion. It functions perfectly as designed. The power supply and supplied wiring fitted right up to my Hcalory Diesel Heater. No issues with the port at all.
Lone Peaks side and rear lighting options are tastefully installed and recessed into the door panels. I was very impressed with the light output. Initially I thought the side lights would be too far forward on the camper but I was wrong. The rear facing lights in the back door are very powerful. They supply more than enough light to see through my tinted windows. Plus, the backup camera does not detect any flickering.
The 3rd brake is wired up. I am not a fan of the wiring location, but it’ll do.
I am obviously speaking to my experience on this, but the seals between the camper and bed of the truck have been excellent. On the front of the F150 beds there is a big gap from the side rail to the front rail. Somehow Lone Peak accounted for this and the weather seals have been great.
I chose to purchase a tailgate sealant kit from amazon and that has worked well for me. The real test will be during the summer months when dust intrusion becomes a concern. As of now, despite all the rain, it is dry inside the camper.
Lone Peak’s proprietary mounting pucks have been adequate so far. In my camper there are 3 on each side. Since I plan to do some off roading with the camper installed. I am following the torque schedule. They do tend to come loose, but I keep checking them often.
Interior:
Inside of the camper I have the Power Plate, Juice Box with interior lights, LiFE PO4 battery, Cab window, MOLLE panel, Gear Vault with table, and Roof vent fan. All are options on Lone Peaks website.
Power Plate. Of all of the interior accessories, this is the only thing I have had actual issues with. Problem being that their system will turn off Juice Box when the house battery reaches a full charge. Hopefully someone will find a solution for this, and I know Lone Peak is trying. I might cut in a breaker for the solar panels to stop the system from charging. Personally, I would like to keep Juicebox on so I can use the exterior lighting without having to go out and turn it on every night.
Update: I have recieved the new power plate with the solar and DC to DC chargers. As of this update, I am still working out some bugs but things seem to be working.
Storing the battery in the bed comes with its own difficulties. I have seen other builds where the battery was located in the back seats, and in the engine bay. Doug’s famous F250 you might have seen in my videos has the spare battery under the bed and mounted to the frame.
I welded up a custom mount for my battery. Photos at the bottom of the page. Long story short, I made a tray and then came up with a solution for mounting without drilling new holes into the bed of the F150.
All of the other accessories mentioned above have been perfectly fine. I haven’t really needed the drop-down table on Gear Vault yet, but it’s also not in the way. Only time will tell.
I do find that the interior lighting is a little lacking under the sleeping platform. The area by the cab window is pretty dark. I installed some extra LED strips and wiring them into the “Light Bar” port on Juicebox. Otherwise, the two lights LP provided are great. The color changing feature is nice and the dimming works great. The lights I added are amber, to keep the bugs out.
Lastly, the mattress. I’m in my 30s, less than 6 feet tall and less than 200 pounds. So, your mileage may vary. I found the sleeping space to be very roomy and the mattress pleasant. My first night in the camper was in sub-freezing temps. With the diesel heater running it was perfectly warm. I actually woke up in the middle of the night too warm. Given that the heater was on a middle setting and the camper is not insulated I thought this was a good thing. I turned the heater to low for the rest of the night. In the morning, I turned the heater up and waited maybe 20 minutes and it was a sauna. Perfect to get dressed and start my day.
All in all. I am very pleased with the camper and happily recommend it to you, the reader. I will find the time to create a video to enhance this page.
Thank you for checking out my content and I hope to see you on YouTube!
