Four Wheel Campers, LLC, founded in 1972 and based in Woodland, CA and The Orvis Company, Inc. founded in 1856 and based in Manchester, VT, are excited to announce the launch of a collaboratively designed truck camper, purpose-built for fly fishing and camping enthusiasts.
The Story
For over a year the combined forces of the ORVIS and Four Wheel Campers (FWC) design, production, and marketing teams have worked to create a pop-up truck camper specifically designed to enhance fly fishing adventures. It’s the convergence of two iconic brands, each wielding leadership in their respective outdoor product categories, uniting to deliver an unparalleled offering for the fly fishing and camping community.
Renowned for their commitment to quality and durability, both companies have poured their expertise into this camper. The official partnership, which began in 2023 under the guidance of ORVIS’s Product Design and Development Director Shawn Combs and Community Leader Davis James, alongside FWC’s President Dan Welty, represents the pinnacle of innovation and tradition.
Fly fishermen have long relied on Four Wheel Campers for their angling excursions, and this new product takes that experience to the next level. Key features include a lockable rod bunker for up to six fly rods and a mud locker with waterproof storage and drain for wet gear. The camper also boasts a vertically mounted exterior L-track system for flexible gear mounting, as well as upgraded cabinetry, countertops, fabrics, and appliances to ensure comfort in all seasons.
Both companies are known for designing and building products to be enjoyed for decades, and this new product is built with the same care and approach.
