Camper Shell

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.

This is what I came here for. It seems like the perfect platform for a Tune M1-- hope they might be able to work together to figure out the rear sliding window, payload capacity optimization, and suspension options to match. I've been really unsatisfied with all the other mid-side pickups on the market.
Welcome to the forum. The Terra rear window will raise and lower-no slider but probably better as up and down

Yes, one of the features I’ve wished for in a midsize pickup for a long time! I just don’t know of any camper shells that accommodate that design feature, so hoping that could be accomplished.

So what does this count as? A she’ll, a pop up or just something different but pretty cool

Pay-to-play. Can you take a screen shot?

I'm planning to use my terra for surf adventures so a pop up camper that is consistent with the styling would be incredible.

My wishlist in case someone at Scout ends up working on this:

- Add some extra width like a Tune M1 camper, with side hatches for gear access and a glass rear hatch for visibility through rearview mirror.
- Something hardsided like an alaskan camper that's able to handle 4 seasons
- A pass through window that lines up with the rear window of the cab and allows for climbing into cab and storing long objects like skis and surfboards within the locked camper instead of the roof.
- Queen bed over cab
- Surfboard/gear racks and lots of solar on roof
- Lighting and ventilation
- Access to outlets in bed for electric heating, cooking, AC, etc.

Alternatively a mid gate with a (solar panel covered?) tonneau cover would be pretty cool too.
The Moonlander X is definitely checking several of your requirements.

They offer standard or extended side pods so you sleep sideways with 6' to 7' of sleeping length. This definitely maximizes space for short bed trucks.

Bed panels can tuck away into overhead storage area.
Has decent aerodynamics.
Solar options.

Prewired for a solar generator.
Has fan options.
Queen sized bed is optional.
You can also use the bed as a giant couch.

Thule rack rails are optional.

4 Season Insulation package is optional.

Marine decking on the roof is optional.
Pass through window is optional.
Hard sided.
Tons of window options but no hard side panels.
The retro circular window options would match the Scout vibe.

No moving parts like pop ups either.

Your surfboards could also be nosed into the overhead storage area allowing you to close the tailgate without having to stick it through the cab.

If @Jamie@ScoutMotors is listening, a remote mount rear view camera option would be awesome for folks that use aftermarket camper shells.

I think they definitely gave it the right name when they named The moonlander. A very capable habitat.

I am curious if Scout will design the Terra bed to be removable. It would be cool to have an aluminum Norweld flatbed tray to expand camper options.
