These days, off-road-capable camper vans are rather common. Finding a large RV capable of such adventure, however, isn’t common at all. Enter WanderBOX, a Colorado-based company building the Outpost 35 – a Ford-based rig boasting all the amenities of home and work in a 4×4 package that can stay off-grid for weeks at a time. And at $399,000, it’s less expensive than many similar-sized vehicles with off-road chops.

If you’re looking to self-sustain for weeks at a time or longer, wanderBOX may be the answer to your needs. Mike Barnwell, the CEO of the newly formed wanderBOX, spent nearly four decades as a technology industry executive. A lifelong camper and outdoor enthusiast, Barnwell created an expedition-style off-road camper to sustain remote living for weeks at a time.

What do you do if you’re looking for the perfect RV to fit your needs but can’t find exactly what you’re looking for? If you’re WanderBOX CEO Mike Barnwell, you design a vehicle that meets your exact specifications and launch a new company to build it. The result is the Outpost 35 4×4, a mobile office and living space well-suited for boondocking.

The WanderBOX Outpost 35 RV isn’t just for occasional outdoor excursions — it’s outfitted to enable off-grid living and working. WanderBOX fits the Outpost 35 with home-like features, including seven-foot ceilings, a separate master bedroom with king-size bed, office with full-size desk, a fully-furnished kitchen, and even washer and dryer.

Back then, folks took their RVs out for weekend trips of a bit longer than that. It was a perfect way to get away from it all and recharge before we dive right back into reality. Now, thanks to innovations in technology, we can choose to hit the road aboard the Outpost 35, maintain productivity, and more.

Buying the ultimate camping vehicle can be tricky. If you have all the money to spend, you can opt for that beastly overlander or de facto luxury apartment on wheels. But you haven’t really been able to get both in the same vehicle — at least, until now. WanderBox wants to resolve that with their new Outpost 35 4×4 recreational vehicle, which they describe as an “off-pavement capable home on wheels.

In keeping with the idea of offering home-like comforts on (and off) the road, Outpost 35 has seven-foot (213-cm) ceilings throughout the habitat, the only exception being the cabover loft. The galley is almost a chef’s kitchen, with stainless steel sink, refrigerator with ice maker, three-burner induction cooktop, convection microwave, trash compactor, heavy-duty cabinetry and solid-surface countertops, and even a washer and drier combo unit.

Many of us have dreamed of living life on the open road. In fact, with the remote job market booming now more than ever, it’s never been easier to be a permanent transient. However, large class A RVs have limited accessibility and the smaller class Cs don’t really have everything you need to become a full-time denizen of America’s highways and byways…

It’s built on a reinforced Ford Super Duty F-600 4×4 chassis. The chassis has auto-adjusting, computer-controlled hydraulic suspension — the same system used in ambulances to smooth out the roughest roads. It runs on a 6.7L PowerStroke turbo-diesel engine that Barnwell says is powerful enough that you can tow with the Outpost even if you’re crossing mountain passes.
