Warranty Information
Vendor warranty summary
Overland Vehicle Systems Warranty
At a glance: coverage depends on the line: limited lifetime on Expedition truck cap structure and XD awning frames, 6 years on XD tents and XD awning fabric, 4 years on HD tents and awnings, 2 years on LD tents
This is Overland Vehicle Systems's policy, not an NVMOS policy. OVS doesn't publish one warranty document. Its product pages say coverage and terms vary by product, so we've pulled the terms from each OVS product line's own pages and summarized them in plain English. Where an OVS page shows a generic warranty badge that disagrees with the product's own warranty text, we use the product text. The manufacturer's official terms always govern and can change without notice. Last reviewed on nvmos.com: October 16, 2026.

OVS Explorer Soft Shell for RAM 1500 5.7 ft Bed
A hard camper shell is a big commitment. The Explorer Soft Shell gives the RAM 1500 short bed a covered, weather-protected space for gear with a lightweight aluminum frame and canvas skin that one person can set up, fold or remove. You get a dry, enclosed bed when you need it and the open truck back when you don't.
The cover is Black Diamond Canvas, treated against UV and mildew and fully waterproof. The rear window can be rolled up for airflow or taken off entirely, and the windows are DOT-tinted 30 mil vinyl. It attaches with zippers and belt rails, sits level with the cab roof to keep drag down, and lets you use the whole bed without taking the top off. Shop all campers and camper shells or browse RAM 1500 parts.
Fits 2019-2027 RAM 1500, including TRX, with the 5.7 ft bed.
Install and removal are done with zippers and belt rails. Built-in retention straps hold the frame folded and secure on long drives. This is the 5.7 ft bed version, part number 70400007; check your bed length before ordering, since each Explorer Soft Shell is made for one bed size. Not sure it fits your setup? Call us at (920) 249-7744 and a real person will check it.
