As Overland Expo draws closer, several RV companies are revisiting their camper lineup to upgrade existing models and launch new ones. Joining the bandwagon is Supertramp, a Colorado-based company renowned for its world-class truck campers. Supertramp has recently announced Paragon, an integrated truck camper mounted on a Ford F-350 long-bed chassis that the company says “delivers true luxury to the travellers.”
First reported by Gear Junkie, the Paragon is built on a Ford F-350 bed-delete chassis and powered by a 7.3-litre Godzilla V8 engine, paired with a 10-speed TorqShift transmission and a rear locking differential, giving it serious off-road credentials from the ground up. The suspension system was developed in collaboration with Carli Suspension and features custom-valved shocks and an Alcan leaf pack, rolling on 18-inch Method wheels wrapped in 35-inch Toyo AT3 tyres. Dry weight ranges from 9,000 to 11,500 lbs, depending on configuration, with single, extended, and crew cab options available.
One of the rig’s defining structural features is its one-piece vacuum-infused composite shell, which contains no wood or seams, a design choice Hi Consumption writes is aimed at maximising waterproofing and long-term durability. The camper sleeps up to four people and offers seven feet of standing height inside, giving it a spacious, van-like feel that Supertramp says sets it apart from traditional truck campers.
Looking at the pictures, we can safely conclude that the interior is roomy and well-appointed for extended travel. The trailer features a king-size bed that sits beneath a stargazing skylight, while a convertible rear dinette can be arranged as a U- or L-shaped couch or converted into a full bed. The galley kitchen includes an induction cooktop, a 130L Isotherm fridge/freezer, and a sink, backed by a 40-gallon fresh water tank and 10 to 20 gallons of grey water capacity.
Other features include Panoramic Arctic Tern windows that come with integrated bug screens and shades, the latter offering natural light throughout. The camper also comes equipped with a wet bath and a Truma Combi system that manages both heating and hot water.
For off-grid dependence, the truck camper relies on a Victron electrical system featuring 660 watts of roof-mounted solar system, 270 amp-hours of Battle Born lithium batteries, expandable up to 1,080Ah, and a 3,000-watt inverter with multiple charging input options, including DC-DC, shore power, and an optional solar blanket.

Another highlight of the camper is a purpose-built internal gear garage, accessed via side doors. This is roomy enough to fit two full-size XL 29er mountain bikes without obstructing the rear hitch for towing, a practical detail that will appeal to active overlanders. Not to mention, an optional cab-to-camper pass-through is also available to improve interior flow. Optional upgrades, including enhanced suspension, winches, and air conditioning, are available for buyers who want more.
Gear Patrol notes that production is currently underway at Supertramp’s facility in Golden, Colorado. Priced at $189,000, the Paragon is now open for orders and is slated to make its public debut at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona. It is worth noting that Overland Expo Social is scheduled for March, but it is very unlikely that Supertramp will showcase the rig there.
