We’re continuously improving the Nimbl Evolution.
Last year, our team focused on improving technology, molds, sourcing, and production. This new-generation camper aims to bridge the gap between the luxurious traveler and a highly capable overland vehicle by continuing to incorporate the amenities and services one might expect of a top-of-the-range exploration vehicle, with the expressed goal of making the strongest, lightest, and most universally capable overland vehicle on the market.

Full carbon-fiber or carbon-fiber-reinforced monocoque composite camper shell
Panoramic windows with privacy shades and screens
Carbon fiber entry and storage doors
Dual roof hatch ventilation fans with rain sensors
Integrated power system with up to 1080 AH of battery and 760 watts of solar

Late last year, Expedition Portal visited our shop in Colfax, California, and witnessed the creation of the very first carbon fiber camper body. Carbon fiber has an impeccable strength-to-weight ratio, making it a great material for a camper shell. It can be shaped and molded while reinforcing the strength and minimizing the thickness of camper walls.
The aluminum alloy used in the flatbed construction is robust, lightweight, and has excellent corrosion resistance. It’s great for structural applications, and the combination of carbon fiber and aluminum make for a camper that can potentially outlast the base vehicle.
Built on a 1-ton-and-up truck, the camper is built to maneuver trails and standing up to harsh conditions. Sleek and practical, the cabin’s streamlined design improves comfort and ease of use, while the onboard power and water systems extended off-grid travel range.
