2017 ATC Panther for sale

Photos coming the week of 13 April 2025

Price: I need to do more research but definitely south of $20K. Things are a bit hectic right now but I will be able to get some research done before the pics go up.

I have moved from the US to the Netherlands and need to sell my camper. It is a 2017 ATC Panther in very nice shape, currently located in Bend, Oregon. I won’t be in Bend until 12 April, at which point I will take a bunch of pictures and add them to the post, along with more details. I need to sell the camper before I head back to NL on 30 April, so I am open to reasonable offers. I’ve already sold my truck (F-250) and do not have a way to easily deliver the camper.

2 things make the camper relatively unusual, and make it a great place to hang out with friends when the weather gets too cold or rainy/windy:

• A completely removable kitchen area on the port side, enabling U-shaped seating for 6 around a large lagun table
• A wood-burning stove.

Details:

• Always garaged when not in use.
• 2017 All-Terrain Campers Panther (Built-out shell model). The Panther is for full-size trucks with a 6.5’ bed. I had it on a 2001 F250, which handled the camper quite easily without any modifications.
• Baltic birch plywood interior with many storage cabinets. It is sleek enough to sit a small camping chair in the aisle, which I frequently did instead of sitting on the couch. This also remains possible in “stealth” mode.
• Completely removable kitchen area with bear boxes and large table.
• Auxiliary USB and 12V plugs, (2) 110V plugs on inverter.
• Propane tank + storage compartment
• Comfortably sleeps 4 adults (or 1 adult in “stealth mode”)
• Blackout curtains
• Fantastic vent fan
• Wood burning stove (Navigator Stove Works "Sardine" model nautical stove), accessories (including IR ‘gun’ and calibrated CO monitor), and wood storage compartment.
• Awning rails on both sides, with tarp insert, stakes, poles and mosquito netting
• 50 L ARB fridge
• Froli mattress system
• Seating for 6 with kitchen removed, 3-4 with kitchen in place
• 2 Lagun tables (1 large, 1 small)
• Solar panels (300W) + Lithium Battery (100Ah). I used to work remotely in this camper for a week or more at a time with plenty of power to recharge my laptop + phone each day and run the fridge, lights, etc.
• WeBoost signal booster + stowable antenna pole
• 1000W Magnum Energy converter/charger + Bogart Engineering “Trimetric” monitoring module
• Camper jacks

Cheers,
Brady

I am very interested and looking forward to additional pictures and price. I was going to make a trip to ATC tomorrow to look at their campers. Located in NorCal and can be in Bend in about 4.5 hours. Thanks.

OK, will update once I'm in Bend, thanks.

OK, here are some pics of the camper. Apologies as I am not a photographer.

Large lagun table. Plenty of room for 3-4 to eat, play cards, pore over maps. To the left, a removable countertop and 2 bear boxes comprise a removable kitchen.

There is a good amount of storage space behind the kitchen. I stored the stove pipe, tarp poles, extra blankets, etc. back here.


The bear boxes hold a lot; the only time I needed both bear boxes was when I would camp with my family for more than 3 days.

Using only one bear box allows East-West sleeping in "stealth mode", or as an additional berth when the top is up.

The aisle is wide enough for a camp chair. I found working on my laptop, or reading, from this chair very comfortable, and it was nice to sit and look out the back screen window. The carpet is removable but nice when you're in sandy areas like Utah. Under the carpet is linoleum.

The ARB fridge lives under the bench, and can either be accessed as seen here, or by rolling the fridge aft (it is on wheels). Bolts keep it secure during transit.

Next to the fridge on the starboard cabinetry is a weboost cell phone signal booster. The antenna can be elevated a couple of feet higher than the roof using a stowable mast.

When the kitchen is out, the bear boxes can be configured 2 ways. I used this configuration:

But this one is also nice:

The countertop provides a large, flat surface for looking over maps, and has folding legs beneath it for outside use. I used it along with the boxes to make an L-shaped kitchen area.

With the kitchen out, there is easily seating for 4-5, or 6 (maybe even 7) if the woodstove is removed as well. With the table, it is a great place to be with a group when the weather/wind/temperature outside isn't to your liking. Putting the removable countertop up on the bed like a mantel allows bottles, snacks, etc. to be placed out of the way. The blackout curtains are simple, and really block all light from exiting (or entering) the camper. The mattress has a froli system under it, and the camper comes with additional egg-crate foam and slip covers to place on top. The mattress is much more comfortable than stock with these modifications.

I ran into the 10-picture limit above. Here is the storage behind the kitchen boxes:

I used the wood burning stove to cook as well as provide dry heat. In a word, it's awesome.

There is a firebox to store your wood. I used compressed "Bear Bricks" or similar. They burn cleanly and predictably. The firebox and wood stove corner unit can easily be removed to provide additional seating space, or replaced with a cabinet unit.

The cabinet attaches in the same spot as the wood stove unit. When it was hot enough not to need the stove, the cabinet held lots of clothes.

Cabinet opened:

The aft cabinets open forward, so their contents can be easily accessed from outside the camper.

The tall cabinet has adjustable/removable shelves. With the camp chair a shelf can be used as a mini lap-desk.

The dual doors on the top of the tall cabinet allow the contents to be accessed whether the camper top is up or down. All of the cabinets use pop-out closure mechanisms, common in marine applications.

Port storage consists of a flip-down cabinet...

...and a slide-access, somewhat "stealth" cabinet:

 

[brabrady]

Starboard side, there is a storage cabinet with indicated rocker switches for solar, inverter, mains and battery respectively. Forward of this cabinet is the vented cabinet for the inverter/charger.

Forward of the stove area are 3 flip-up storage cubbies. I've lifted them together here but they are independent of each other.

The box can be removed, like a toolbox...

...because the main wiring is beneath here. All wiring and switchgear is marine-grade to inhibit corrosion.

There is a panel containing the Trimetric battery/solar monitor, the Magnum inverter controller, a switch for the WeBoost booster, a dual-USB outlet, 2 12V outlets and an additional ARB fridge outlet. (You can move the fridge to where the stove is if the stove is out and you want to access the fridge from the back door.)

 

[brabrady]

The exterior of the camper is in great shape.

The WeBoost antenna is on a removable, stowable pole that can be used to raise the antenna well above the camper roof.

Camper weight sticker. I didn't need any suspension mods on a stock 2001 F-250.

I forgot to mention the 3-speed, reversible Fantastic Fan (upper right in pic below). A big improvement over the stock fan.

Lots of very cool ideas in your build out. Do you sail a lot? Totally impressed.

Thanks, Vic. I don't currently sail, but have always been impressed by the use of space on boats and submarines. I learned a bit about sailing when I was in the Navy, and have toyed with the idea of living on a boat, but have never pulled the trigger. Someday...

There is a typo: the units for the inverter charger are Watts, not Amps! There are better ideas out there than having 1000 amps in a camper ;-)

I just edited that for you.

That is a very cool build.
I have seen only one other wood stove heated camper.
Very nice use of the space.

Super cool, unique and well thought out build. I would need onboard water for my needs, but I'm sure that could be easily be added.

Thank you. There is actually a water inlet outside because I thought I wanted to plumb at first, too. I eventually plugged over it inside as I ended up yielding to my inner "never need to winterize" voice.

Thank you, Vic. I could not figure out how to edit the post once it became a bit old.
