What is Allterra Tech?
Allterra Tech, based in Calgary, Alberta, builds the Basecamp OV1: a wedge-style aluminum canopy camper that clamps to bed rails and pops up into a fully insulated tent, starting at C$10,800 for mid-size trucks.
About Allterra Tech
Allterra Tech was founded in Calgary, Alberta by three partners who shared a long-standing passion for off-roading, fly fishing, mountain biking, and the kind of backcountry travel that demands gear built for Canadian conditions. The company set out to make a truck camper that could live on the vehicle full-time, clear a garage door and a campsite gate, and then open into a genuine living space at the end of a trail.
The result is the Basecamp OV1, a wedge-style canopy camper built on an aluminum exoskeleton that clamps directly to bed rails using quick-release hardware. When closed it sits low on the truck; when camp is set, the wedge tent lifts to deliver standing room in the bed. The OV1 ships with weather-strip sealing and is designed for modular add-ons including roof racks, awnings, insulated liners, and ladders, letting owners build from a lightweight weekend shell up to a capable four-season overland platform. It is offered for a wide range of trucks, from Tacoma and Ranger short beds to full-size Silverado and Tundra long beds, with pricing in Canadian dollars that positions it competitively against US-made wedge tops.
For buyers who want a fully self-contained rig, Allterra Tech also offers the Basecamp DX1, a slide-in pop-up camper with an electric-lift tent, diesel and propane heating, on-board water, solar, and an outdoor shower, designed for half-ton 5.5 ft and 6.5 ft beds. Both products are available directly through Allterra Tech's Calgary shop, with installations done in-house and shipping available across Canada.
Key Features
- Aluminum exoskeleton and quick-release bed-rail clamps let the OV1 mount and dismount without tools, so the truck stays a truck when the camper comes off
- Wedge design keeps a low travel profile on the road, reducing wind resistance and parking headaches compared to a full-height slide-in
- Weather-strip sealing and optional insulated tent liner make the OV1 a viable four-season platform in Canadian winters
- Priced from C$10,800 for mid-size trucks, positioning it below heavier American-made wedge tops at a comparable feature set
- Wide truck fitment spans mid-size (Tacoma, Ranger, Canyon, Gladiator, Frontier) through full-size (F-150, Silverado, Sierra, Ram 1500, Tundra, Titan) platforms

Pros
- Competitive Canadian pricing in CAD, with no cross-border duties or currency conversion surprises for Canadian buyers
- Quick-release aluminum bed-rail mounting means the OV1 can be removed for work weeks and reinstalled for weekend trips without a dedicated install appointment
- Low closed profile reduces the aerodynamic penalty and lets trucks fit in standard parkades and campsite height restrictions
- Calgary-based shop allows in-person viewings by appointment before purchase, which is rare in this category
- Modular accessory ecosystem: roof racks, awnings, ladders, and insulated liners can be added over time rather than requiring upfront spend
- Available for both mid-size and full-size truck platforms, with specific fitment variants rather than a one-size adapter approach
Cons
- No published weight specifications on either the .ca or .com product pages, making payload and GVWR comparisons difficult before ordering
- No detailed dimensions published; buyers must contact the company to confirm bed fitment, closed height, and deployed sleeping length
- Forum community has raised questions about design similarity to other wedge tops, which may matter to buyers with strong brand loyalty preferences
- Small Calgary-based operation; service, warranty work, and installations are concentrated in Alberta, which is a logistical consideration for buyers in other provinces
- Published descriptions on product pages are thin, requiring direct contact with Allterra Tech to get full technical specifications before committing to a deposit
- The DX1 slide-in at C$34,800 all-in is a significant investment relative to the brand's size and independent review volume available online
