Industry Spotlight: HIPCAMP x OVERLAND EXPO

Hipcamp is the #1 app for finding and booking campsites, from national parks to off-grid spots found nowhere else. Hipcamp is the #1 app for finding and booking campsites, from national parks to off-grid spots found nowhere else. More than 8 million campers use the free Hipcamp app to discover, compare, and book peaceful private sites, iconic public lands, and well-equipped campgrounds in one place.
In 2026, Hipcamp brought that idea directly to the overlanding community through the Hipcamp × Overland Expo Adventure Route. The cross-country trip planner connects all five Overland Expo events with iconic destinations, worthwhile detours, and campsites along the way. Event-specific collections also help attendees find rig-friendly basecamps near each show on their way in and out of town.

Industry Spotlight: RiG’d Supply

RiG’d started in a Southern California apartment with a simple idea: build a better hitch-mounted spare-tire carrier that could haul a full-size spare, carry bikes, and mount essentials like a camp table, fuel, and recovery gear. Founder and CEO Luke Wronski recalls calling a friend to gut-check the concept. “I have this idea,” he said. “There are options out there, but nothing does everything I want.” The reply became a spark: “This is America. If you can do something better, do it.” So Luke, alongside co-founders Jason Denney and Ryan Richey did just that.

Industry Spotlight: – Four Wheel Campers

Before “overlanding” was a household term in the U.S., Four Wheel Campers (FWC) was already quietly outfitting adventurers for life off-grid. Founded in 1972 in Colorado, the company emerged from a simple but powerful idea: that a reliable, lightweight, and low-profile pop-up truck camper could unlock the backroads and wilderness for more people. That vision took shape through countless trips into the Rockies testing gear in real conditions. The earliest prototypes were born from rugged experiences and the kind of “let’s figure it out” moments only found deep in the wild.
