Egoe Nest Supertramp 300 Camper Installed – First Impressions

I finally had a chance to spend a night in my new Egoe Nest Supertramp 300 camper and overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the design and functionality. I had a dream of camping comfortably in my Bronco without a complete redesign of my interior and this thing fit the bill perfectly. The modular design allows for the box to be installed and removed easily in the 4-door so I can quickly pop the box in and out whenever I want to go camping. The ability to have full use of my rear seats for passengers or storage when the camper is installed was ultimately the biggest selling point to me as I am someone who is constantly driving friends around, using my full cargo space to store and move things, and camping all the time. If you haven't seen how this thing works, check out this video. I wanted to give you guys a true pros and cons list after a successful night in the camper this past weekend up Mt. Herman Road in Colorado Springs, CO.

Pros:

1. Easy installation, easy to remove (5 min for each)
2. Full use of passenger seats with the camper installed
3. No rattle on highways and very minimal to no rattle on trails (this is coming from a rattle hound, if it rattled, I would have sent it back hah!)
4. Modularity of the box and all the individual components fit perfectly with how modular I intend to keep the Bronco for different use cases
5. The box panels fold out from the trunk into a bed that takes up the entire interior of the Bronco, maximizing all the possible bed space of the interior - fit myself and my girlfriend comfortably
6. Mattress was surprisingly comfortable and had no issues getting a good night sleep
7. Im 6ft. I had plenty of leg room and could stretch my legs completely straight out and still have more than 3-5 inches from the tailgate
8. Opening up the soft top from the bed in the morning to get some sun and fresh air was an experience I didn't know I needed but now adore and look forward to the most
9. Plenty of storage underneath the bed once it is completely folded out (about 1.5-2 ft of vertical space from the back of the folded rear seats to the underside of the bed)
10. Fit and finish is superb - everything slides, locks, and fits together so incredibly well. Almost too well. Very tactile feel to all of the components
11. Two burner stove module is very well designed and can be removed from the box to cook away from the vehicle or taken apart to use for backpacking
12. 4 gallon water tank and pump allow for both sink and shower capabilities
13. Cutting board was a great idea for some extra chopping space
14. Engel Fridge/Freezer gets ridiculously cold, almost froze my seltzers after an hour
15. Two drawers and other small pockets in the box allow for extra storage
16. I find this to be the perfect Bronco camping solution for the weekend warriors like myself who don't spend more than 3-5 days camping and still need to drive their Bronco around town the next week without a permanent camper installation

Cons

1. Because of how high the box sits, the headroom for the bed might be a bit too minimal for some people but for my lady and I, it worked just fine. I wouldn't say there's enough space to easily "chill" for a long period of time in the bed because of the lack of head room, but for just getting in and going to sleep, it was perfectly comfortable. That being said, we did end up chilling in the bed for about 3 hours watching movies on my phone which I was able to prop up on the Bronco crossbar. For those interested in more headroom, they do offer another box style that sits lower and provides a few extra inches of vertical space. I considered it, but I opted for the Supertramp 300 because the extra features and ability to store gear underneath the bed was more valuable to me than a few extra inches of headroom.
2. The 15L fridge is a bit small for how much food and drinks I like to bring but an additional small cooler or fridge will definitely do the trick
3. Storage might be an issue for those of us who like to bring a lot of gear but this camper box has really helped me downsize my camping gear and bring only the things I really need which I have found has made for a more organized and clean camping experience overall

I was told I am the first Bronco with the Egoe Nestbox Supertramp installed so because I have guinea pig'd myself, please feel free to ask me any questions and I'd be happy to give you more details. Egoe Nest has a warehouse here In Denver, so if you're in the area, hit up their sales rep Petr and he can give you the full run down. Great guy. You can find the product link here for more info. Much love Bronco6g!

This is pretty awesome but I think goose gear would be the better fir for my needs. You look wildly close to the roof!

If I did not have dogs i would be all over this set up.

Is it really $4,236 Euros + shipping

I get what you're saying.

Yeah I looked at Goose for a while actually, great stuff, but I didn't like the idea of making a permanent installation. I need my rear seats. My Bronco is my daily driver and I am always driving friends and family around town, so the option to take the whole thing out easily was what made the decision for me. Even with the camper installed, I can still use my rear seats to drive my friends to the campsite and take them on off road adventures while on a camping trip. I guess it all depends on how committed you are to having your Bronco be a full-time camper, for just you and maybe one other person to enjoy.

The headroom was definitely a downside but I would compare it to a backpacking tent. You can't sit up fully but you have plenty of space to get a comfortable nights sleep. And again, it's just for sleep. When you're dead after a long day of camping or offroading, it serves its purpose.

thats a super slick solution. I like it.

Yeah, maybe another downside for some, but I see the value in the modularity of the design and how it fits in perfectly with my needs. The other camping solutions I found are also expensive and they didn't fit what I was looking to do so I placed more value on getting the system that works best for my more casual style of camping. Another option I considered was to get a hard top, roof rack, and roof top tent, but all said and done, we'd be looking at far more than the price of this camper box.

Definitely slick. As a designer, the look, feel, design, and functionality had to meet my very high standards

Whoa! Had no idea anything like this existed - pretty stinking neat, I think!

When it's all folded up, is there any remaining room in the cargo area?
If there is still space, how is the rearview visibility?

When I discovered this camper I was kinda shocked too. Immediately fell in love. They are a Czech company with a pretty impressive design/product portfolio well beyond these camper boxes.

When it's all folded up in the trunk, you have full functionality of your rear seats. On this trip, I folded the rear seats down and packed all my gear on top of the seats which was more the enough storage room for this short trip. Most of my gear still fit under the bed once it was folded out.

It covers maybe 2-3 inches of the rear view window so you still have a relatively full view out the back. Here's a pic of what it looks like when it is all folded up. The bedding can also be stored elsewhere if that 2-3 inches annoys you but I felt more than safe with a clear view out the back window.

How did you figure out if this thing would fit nicely or fit at all?

After I discovered them on YouTube, I visited their site where they have the dimensions of the box, and then measured them with my Bronco. My preliminary measurements worked so I called and set up a time to test it out at their warehouse in Denver with one of their sales reps. It fit perfectly so I drove off with it that day.

I was sketching out something pretty similar to build myself. Will have to look closely at this.

Nice! Would love to see your build/progress when it's ready!

Gotcha, so I see they say the 300 is spec'd out for the Wrangler, I'm assuming since it fits your 4 door nicely, they're implying the 4 door Wrangler, because they're not specifying on their site.

Did they mention anything about it fitting in a 2 door Wrangler or Bronco when you were there?
