    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    I am in Kelowna, BC so not far away but my Caribou is in Chile right now ! We have the custom extended cab with a 15 inch slide out and that gives us 75 inches of bed length. It’s plenty and we really really really like sleeping North South versus East West. The pull out is easy to use. It’s a...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Not sure why they won’t install a Propex but if not just buy it without and do it yourself or have someone do it for you. Bit more money, but better, smaller, and quieter. One tip - install it lower down ( given hot air rises ), perhaps to the left of the door as you step in. Easy exhaust points...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    I can weigh in here. Have had the Caribou Lite 6.5 for 5 years and have enjoyed it overall. Mine is a 2015 and I have heard that since Scott bought the company from Bob Ward and his son a few years back that the previous ‘gaps’ in quality control have been resolved. The unit itself is sturdy -...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    You picked a good time to ask. We are just ( temporarily we hope ) back in Canada ( due to Corona virus ) after 10months travelling the PanAmerican Highway through Latin America. While we have mostly been in hot weather there have been times , usually at high altitude, where it was very cold and...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Yes, we do. We are now 9 months into an overland trip on the PanAmerican Highway. Started in Deadhorse, Alaska ( that’s mile 0 you might say ) and are now in Banos, Ecuador. We expect to be in Ushuaia, Argentina by May which will be 12 months since we started and ( by then ) 20,000 miles under...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Yes, would be. Slider is a bit finicky in the Outfitter iteration. I would strongly suggest north south bedding - that I would NOT give up. You don’t want to be climbing over someone at 1am with barely 2ft of headroom. But that means you will have a long Cabover if no slider

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Yes, they are ‘Relion’ brand and have served us well - no issue so far. We paid just over $1,000 USD for a 100amp unit. Quick to charge, light weight and run down to 0%. We also have Progressive Dynamics lithium compatible charger.

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Not much changed from before . Bigger fridge and lithium battery are huge assets, and we love the cassette toilet and use it often when boondocking on a cold night. We really like the north south sleeping arrangement but the quality of the slide out ( extended ) is flimsy and finicky to push...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Once, but not accurately as I weighed the truck without camper then with camper but at different times. Camper is off the truck now and stored so I wont weigh it for a while but when I do I will be very specific and share the details with you. I would be curious too because you went with a 12...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Still going strong and performing well. There are of course minor annoying little things that probably crop up on most campers but overall I would say we are happy. Things we like: 1. size inside seems just right, get lots of comments on sleek, low profile look, appreciate larger fridge 2...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Hi Gbail, Sure just send me another note. Drove it from Denver to BC, Canada when I picked it up and so far so good. Truck handles it well ( though I will add airbags to stiffen it up ) although one slight negative was the fuel economy. I was very surprised by how much impact the camper had...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Hi Bigfoot, I thought that may be a bit high but I suppose it could be . I was thinking 950lbs camper, 350lbs ( us ! ), 200 lbs fuel and water, and 300 lbs ( stuff )..so there you have it....1800 lbs ! The truck can take 1974 lbs and it has no tailgate ( there's 60 lbs extra avaiable ) so...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    I asked Bob ( Ward - the owner of Outfitter ) about weight and why it did not have a weight stamp on it. He said they are not required but that, optioned as I have it optioned, it was about 950 lbs. It sounded about right to me. I will get it weighed soon and let everyone know. Keeping the...

    Another new Outfitter Caribou 6.5 Lite

    Some pics of my new Outfitter.....just picked up from Longmont factory April 4 ! Very pleased with it overall - looks great ( I think ) and matches up to my GMC 1500 Sierra very nicely. At under 1000 lbs ( even though heavily modded ) the truck hardly feels it. Key modifications were ( above...

    My new Outfitter Caribou Lite 6.5

    Good idea.....I went with a 10" cabover and also the north south bed with storage either side . Not quite as long as yours though. I am guessing you must be taller - looks like a 54" door as well ?

    My new Outfitter Caribou Lite 6.5

    Looks great ! I am just about to buy one too.....I pick it up next week. Looks like you have raised the cabover from the standard 8".......eyeballing it, seems to be about a 12" deep cabover ? I assume that was done to give you more room and a deeper mattress... ? Very glad to hear you like...
