The Nimbl Evolution is a high-endurance expedition truck camper.

Designed and built for long-term travel, the Evolution combines an elegant composite habitat with an aluminum flatbed, for a truck camper that’s durable, comfortable, and ready to tackle harsh conditions across the globe.

Mounts to a custom-aluminum flatbed on a 1-ton pickup truck and above.

As of 2024, we are no longer manufacturing the Nimbl Evolution.

However,

  • We’re proud of the work our team has done with the Evolution, and it’s a great example of the range of stuff we can build, install, and upgrade. This camper is a huge part of our background, so this page is here to show where we came from and what we’re capable of as a shop.

  • We’re continuing to provide service and upgrades for existing Evolution (and XP) campers, new and used.

  • If you like what you see, we do service and install work on existing overland vehicles!

  • We’ve made a lot of changes and improvements since we started. If you’re a current Evolution or XP Camper owner, you might be interested in some of the newer features or components. Don’t hesitate to get in touch!
