Buyers Guide :: Portable Shower Solutions for Overland Travel
Let’s be honest—some travelers value a regular shower more than others. We have met those who must shower daily and others who are content with a regular swim in the sea or a river. You may also have a partner who is prepared to “rough it” and explore the outdoors with you, but who draws…

The Opus Off-Road Camper is Baja Ready
For some travelers, living space is as important as mobility; one solution to this challenge is the combination of a compact, towable trailer with vast amounts of deployable, heavy-duty canvas. We recently wrote a feature of the Wedgetail Slide On Camper, and the Opus Off-Road Camper is a similar concept, with less practicality but a…
Overland Classifieds :: 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab with Cirrus Camper
While the Dodge Ram 3500 will not be turning heads any time soon, it comes with one significant advantage: the highly desirable and reliable 5.9-liter Cummins turbo diesel engine.

The EV-Centric Aero Build Coast Trailer Brings Urban Style to the Outdoors
Many of us dream of a simpler life without sacrificing the best of the modern world. Tiny homes and minimalism promise a way of living stripped down to the essentials; less is more, or so they say. Overland travel offers much of the same allure, and we have often seriously considered a travel future based…
Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Conqueror UEV 440 Trailer
Many overlanders believe South African camping products are far superior to their competitors, from the canvas they use for their rooftop tents to the aluminum water tanks you find on their camping trailers. We knew it to be true when we met Jen and Jared at California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park with their rugged South…
Sasquatch Expedition Campers New Highland 60
There are those who suggest that off-road trailers inhibit overall off-road capability. While that certainly may be the case on the most extreme trails (bearing in mind the limits of the tow vehicle), a purpose-built off-road trailer skillfully towed should not generally curb an overland explorer’s range. Besides, a trailer comes into its own as…
27 North Reveals the Ford F150 Based 2023 RexRover
The tall 2023 RexRover looks like a 1990’s artist rendition of what campers will look like in 2035. It is refreshing to see a camper built practically and with an interior designed by someone who has more than the briefest subscription to Architectural Digest. Sleek, plush, and ever so slightly industrial, the RexRover is sure…

Jackery Solar Generator 1500 Pro The sound of a gas-guzzling generator in a remote campground is enough to drive a saint crazy.

Feature Vehicle :: This 1990 Toyota Hilux is Fit for an Icelandic Saga
Photography by Richard Giordano Those who know Torfi Birkir Jóhannsson describe him as the guy you want around when things go south.

Is the Practical Winnebago Sprinter Adventure Wagon Modular Camper Worth the Price Tag?
Overlanding’s cousin #vanlife has been growing in leaps and bounds over the last decade and threatens to become the lifestyle of choice for college dropouts and retirees. The good news is that the vans, which scoot relentlessly from the Walmart parking lot to National Forest and BLM land and back, can also drive down to…
