38-gal freshwater tank w/12v pump and sight gauge
Seems to me could be more with the size of this.

Gonna be a long rig if that's really is to go on a 9' C&C deck (spare tire in front, 1 1/2' kick out off the deck, 1' or more of ladder and junk on that molle. Call it 12' on a 60" CA)
Interested to see if OEV approves this on a pick up with spare tire under deck.
C&C for fixed mount for sure. Square the rear, add a pass thru, that would be nice.

Who says the HC-R(Removable) doesn't come with gas or diesel air heater, and Hydronic? I have seen the HC-R price sheet via my dealer, but unfortunately it says "See spec sheet for description of standard" and by that I assume they mean the spec sheet in the link above (ie Download on the site);
High Country Premium Flatbed Hard Wall Camper
Premium Flatbed Hard Wall Camper, look no further Overland Explorer Vehicles High Country the toughest flatbed truck camper available.

I believe the pass side wart is a Maxxair Dome van, maybe painted white (vs black like in my Aterra).
Dinette on driver side is longer than pass side, which is cool, but makes for an odd sized 2nd (dinette) bed.
Bigger the windows, the more thermal loss you're going to get...it's definitely a tradeoff for light/bright vs thermally stable. BTDT
I think they do have some copy and paste issues. Unfortunately, I catch little issues constantly on their website, PDFs, etc. (Measurements incorrect, options incorrect or inconsistent between their PDF spec sheet and what the website text says, etc.). They must be working on it this morning as I see none of the download links work, PDFs are not accessible anymore, and the revamped HC-Removeable page is now white text on a white background, so only way to see text is highlight it with cursor. Typically, web work is performed in a sandbox or on renamed URL then once complete, the live pages are replaced all at once, but seems they are developing on the live pages.
As for specs, I believe the website text (the expandable features under both the HC-Fixed and HC-Removable) are correct and the PDF (now inaccessible) are incorrect.
The website says propane Truma combi heat, single propane burner and removable single burner induction for the HC-R. And says gas/diesel/hydronic heat and dual burner induction cooktop for HC-F. I believe that to be true because that would be consistent with their other removeable/flatbed vs fixed camper designs.
As you said, in the images they have released of the HC-R, one can see the driver's side 20lb propane locker.

We like to follow the evolution of OEV specs for ideas. We are planning a battery upgrade to LiFePO4 so I became familiar with Lithionics since it was their only lithium product but very spendy. Now I hear this news:
FTC enforces Made In USA Rule against Lithionics
RELion is a new offering by OEV; wonder if its related or simply a more reasonable alternative, or both?

All the social media and website are internal, at least in the past. They really need to step up their social media game and clean up the website.
Well - my vote - they could turf the new "hybrid" classification and go back to listing these two units within OEV's current categories: Fixed Mount Pop Up or Hard Wall; Removable Flatbed Pop Up or Hard Wall; Removable Slide In Pop Up or Hard Wall (...one day ?).
Name the currently named HC Fixed some type of "Camp": Highwood, Upland, Wilderness, Meadow, etc, ... CAMP.
Keep the currently named HC Removable as a "COUNTRY" or start again and keep the "Country" for slide in pop ups.
For specs the currently named HC Fixed will (or could) likely be similar to the current Base Camp SW because, you know..., it's basically a hard wall version of that (but 1/2 ft longer). So hydronic system, opt for split AC, gas/diesel heat, opt for LPG delete. Oh yeah, and a rear wall tire carrier.
The High Country Removable will (or could) likely be similar to the current HBE series because, you know..., it's basically a hard walled version of that (but longer). So Truma, LPG cook top or combo with induction. Being Hard Wall, opt roof AC(s), opt addl solar panels.
Then, when correcting the errors in the online specs (like internal width - again, ahem,) they can - hopefully - re think the HC R price. And I don't mean up !
Good luck to them tho, OEV has done a remarkable job.
