Big Rig Basecamp at The Big Thing
Three Forks, Montana
July 9–12, 2026
For the first time, Fernweh is hosting a dedicated Expedition Vehicle Basecamp at The Big Thing… a curated camping and skills experience built specifically for large, heavy-duty rigs that go farther, carry more, and explore bigger.
While The Big Thing delivers three days of real skills, real terrain, and real community, Fernweh is creating a home base within the event for owners of heavy duty trucks and campers built for remote autonomy.
Why camp with the group?
- Connect with People — Camp alongside fellow expedition vehicle owners and exchange stories, setups, and insights.
- Expedition Vehicle Focused Training — Hands-on sessions tailored for heavy rigs, from weight and suspension strategy to advanced recovery and off-grid systems.
- Community Experience, Your Way — Gather in the evening with peers for conversation and connection. Meals are on your own.
Expedition Vehicle Camp participants will also receive an exclusive discount code for The Big Thing tickets.
