2026 Soaring Eagle Aerie 8 Truck Camper: Full Tour and Walkthrough

This is the full tour of our 2026 Soaring Eagle Aerie 8, the truck camper we live out of on every trip you see on this channel. We walk the whole rig, inside and out, including the upgrades we have added since the day we picked it up.

If you are shopping for an Aerie 8 or comparing truck campers, this is the honest owner walkthrough: what the 400Ah lithium bank and 600W of solar actually run, how the Truma heating does in a North Idaho winter, the tailgate-closed design that sold us on Soaring Eagle in the first place, and the small livability details you only learn by sleeping in one.

We are two-time Soaring Eagle owners. Our previous 6.5XLS got a full interior redesign and electrical rebuild before we moved up to the Aerie 8, so we knew exactly what we wanted this time.

For how the rig handles real trips, watch the Oregon Coast road trip and our free overnight at Schweitzer Mountain.
