Truck campers are the ultimate streamlined solution for overlanders. But the svelte, trail-friendly form factor means trading agility for living space. Ovrlnd Campers wants to remedy the typically cramped living quarters of most truck campers with a wider, more livable interior.
New for 2025, the Flagstaff, Arizona-based brand is adding a Chubby package to its lineup. By extending the width of any of its existing truck camper models by 3.5 inches on either side, the interior width expands by a full seven inches. That might not seem like much. But if you’ve spent any time living in your car or out of the back of a pickup truck, those extra seven inches feel downright luxurious.
The big win here is the ability to really open up and better build out the interior. Adding the Chubby package to a midsize truck makes for a roughly 68-inch width, allowing anyone 5’6″ tall to sleep comfortably in an east-west configuration. For full-size truck owners, “going Chubby” means roughly 75 inches of interior width, so even taller campers can fully stretch out in bed width-wise. Standing room also increases to almost six feet in midsize pickups, while full-size owners get even more.
Ovrlnd Campers does point out a handful of limitations with this wider, girthier package. The increased weight (roughly 30-50 pounds) means more wind-buffeting on the highway. Plus, the added width means you’re more likely to hit trees and other obstacles on the trail. But isn’t all that “trail pinstriping” just part of the experience?
The Chubby package is available now across Ovrlnd’s entire model lineup. The option adds $950 to the cost of the entry-level Bivy pop-up “cube” (starting at $7,400), the semi-custom All You Can Eat model (from $8,400), and the flagship Bread ‘N’ Butter model (from $11,499) with the company’s most popular options.
