Scout Campers took the world by a storm this year, launching a new-brand line of lightweight, off-grid truck campers. Unlike traditional RVs, which are complicated, heavy, and often inefficient, Scout campers are an invitation to travel lighter and more simply off the grid.
Each model was crafted with versatility and flexibility in mind, which has led to their innovative, minimalistic, and portability-based design. Amenities can be taken out and enjoyed outside, too.
The Kenai model may be the biggest and most fully-featured of the Scout line, but it remains true to the brand’s values: minimalistic, lightweight, off-grid capable, and built to last.
With an estimated dry weight of 1,370 pounds, sleeping capacity of four to six, more options for customization, and fit for heavy half-ton to one-ton short- and long-box trucks, this truck camper is both practical and versatile for those who want to travel off the beaten path. Some of the key differences of the Kenai model are the designated bathroom space, Mud Room, queen-sized bed, and extended storage options.
The new Mud Room contains a built-in stainless steel drain pan and curtain enclosure located at the entrance of the camper. It serves as a protective area to rinse off muddy shoes, gear, and clothing after a big day of adventures and it drains directly outside the camper.
Another notable feature that will keep users and their families clean is the RinseKit Portable Shower option. This pressurized, heated shower can be used inside or out. For a private shower, users can enjoy the shower inside the camper with the 360-degree shower curtain that attaches to the ceiling of the camper and then to the stainless steel drain pan to keep the water contained. To rinse off gear, pets, or very muddy children, users can also take it outside and give them a really good clean before re-entering.
The option for the integrated, modern Cassette Toilet is another unique feature for the Kenai model. This toilet is designed to maximize space as it pivots out for use and then locks back into a stowed position. Instead of a traditional holding tank, the portable 4.75-gallon waste tank can easily be removed and emptied manually from the outside of the unit. Because the Cassette Toilet might not suit every user, the Dometic Portable 2.6-gallon Toilet is still offered as an option.
In addition to Kenai’s usable space increase, the camper offers a bigger bed (full-size that extends into a 60” x 80” queen-sized mattress) and the L-shaped Convertible Lounge that easily transitions into two single beds at night.
Powered by the sun and charged by nature, the Kenai takes self-sufficiency to a whole new level: more battery capacity with the Goal Zero 1500, double the propane with two 10-pound tanks, and more energy-efficient functionality.
And like the other campers made by Scout, the Kenai is ideal for four-season travel because of its robust construction: aluminum exoskeleton framing and wood-free composite structural panels that will keep you warm and never rot.
