Supertramp Campers will debut a truck camper this week that carries two mountain bikes inside the box and still leaves its hitch free to tow.
The Paragon shows publicly for the first time at Overland Expo Mountain West, which runs August 21 to 23 at The Ranch in Loveland, Colorado. Supertramp has been building campers in Golden for nine years, making this a home-state launch.
What arrives on the show field is a complete vehicle rather than a box bolted to a truck the buyer already owns. The camper is mounted to a Ford F350 with an 8-foot bed and sold as one unit, with a composite shell the company molds in-house. Base price is $199,000 on Supertramp's configurator as of August 18.
Inside, the Paragon carries 40 gallons of fresh water and 20 gallons of grey, 300Ah of lithium as standard with 330 watts of solar and a 3,000-watt inverter, and a full wet bath measuring 32 by 26 inches with 6 feet 3 inches of headroom. Battery packages run to 900Ah. An induction stove, two Maxxair fans and a backup camera are standard, and the countertop is bamboo unless a buyer pays for stone.
The galley runs along one wall, with the induction cooktop under a cutting board and the fridge below the counter.
GearJunkie, which published the first look, reported roughly 7 feet of interior height and side-access doors on both sides feeding the gear garage, with the rear receiver deliberately left clear. Overland Expo's own preview confirms a garage that holds two mountain bikes and gear.
The garage opens at the rear and from both sides, and the receiver below the bumper stays clear.
Bikes ride inside instead of hanging off the back in road grime, the hitch stays available for a trailer or a recovery point, and a rider can stand up to change clothes. Those are trip-shaping choices, and they are the reason to look at this rig rather than the price.
The bed sits over the cab, reached by a ladder past the galley.
The Paragon slots between Supertramp's slide-in campers and its F550-based expedition rig.
Keith and Kelsey Panich founded Supertramp in Golden in 2017 after shopping for a truck camper and finding the market static. Their first two prototypes were aluminum, and each took about three months to build. Both came out heavy, and both sweated, with condensation collecting inside the shell over a Colorado winter.
Supertramp's answer was a carbon-and-epoxy monocoque made by vacuum infusion, a process more common in aerospace and boatbuilding than in the RV yard, and the company started molding the shells itself. The Flagship LT followed, then the F550 expedition camper, and now the Paragon.
Under the camper, Ford's 7.3-liter gas V8 is standard and the 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel is a $14,590 upgrade. Suspension is Carli with custom-valved shocks and an Alcan leaf pack, and GearJunkie reports 35-inch Toyo AT3 tires. Overland Expo lists Single Cab, Extended Cab and Crew Cab versions, though the configurator specifies only an F350 with a bench front seat.
What to check before buying
Weight, and what is left of the payload. This is the number nobody has published. A chassis-mounted composite box, 40 gallons of water, a wet bath and up to 900Ah of lithium all land on a one-ton chassis, and neither Supertramp's configurator nor any coverage reviewed for this piece gives a dry weight, a wet weight, or the payload margin that remains. Ask for all three in writing before a deposit, along with the door-jamb sticker figures for the specific build.
Which price is current. GearJunkie's reveal reported a start around $189,000. The configurator showed $199,000 on August 18. Confirm what the base number covers today and what moved.
Solar and battery, standard versus shown. The configurator lists 330 watts of solar as standard, and Overland Expo's preview says 660 watts. The higher figure is most likely an upgrade package, but pin it down before signing, because it changes how long the rig sits without shore power.
The bed. Supertramp specifies a 68-by-80-inch super-queen, while Overland Expo describes a king plus a rear dinette that converts to a full. Those are different layouts, so see the actual floorplan at the show.
How the deposit works. A $1,000 reservation is refundable and holds a place for 30 days. Locking a build slot takes 25 percent, which on a $199,000 rig is just under $50,000. Ask what that 25 percent buys in schedule terms and what happens to it if the delivery date slips.
What Supertramp has not yet said in public is how much of the F350's payload is left once the camper is loaded.
