  • Adventurer Manufacturing launched its new Scout brand and unveiled the new company's first model, the Scout Olympic.
  • The Olympic is a four seasons, off-grid capable camper unit that can sit on the body of a truck.
  • The camper truck can sleep up to six people with the help of the pop-top roof.
  • Several of the amenities — such as the cooktop, power station, and dining table — are portable and can be used both inside and outside the camper truck.
  • The Olympic build starts at $19,980.

Adventurer Manufacturing launched its new Scout brand and unveiled its first model, the Scout Olympic, an off-grid four-seasons camper truck.

Washington-based Adventurer Manufacturing currently owns four companies that specialize in camper, overlanding, and expedition vehicles. Its latest brand, Scout, currently only has the $19,980 Olympic build available for purchase, but the company plans on launching two more camper models — the YOHO and Kenai — later this year.

According to the company's website, Scout aims to build vehicles that stand for the opposite of typical RV features, such as "inflexibility" and dependence to campsites and the indoors. Unlike traditional RV builds, the Scout Olympic utilizes both the interior and exterior space of the truck camper, with an emphasis on portable accessories, to build out a full tiny home on wheels.

This idea is reflected several amenities that Scout included on the Olympic camper, such as the dining table that can be taken from the interior and used outside for meals with fresh air.
