Adventure Trail Outfitters — The Overland Shower and Water System
Say goodbye to sweaty, dirty, restless nights of sleep and cold-water clean-ups with the new “go-to” portable hot water system, the Overland Shower and Water System. The Overland Shower and Water System gives you the comfort of a home shower when there’s no home in sight by delivering hot water in seconds with the same water pressure that you are used to at home. Their unique design makes the hot water system easy to set up and even easier to use, bringing you unlimited hot water comfort.
The Overland Shower and Water System is the world’s first high-performance portable “plug and play” hot water system that comes complete inside one rugged compact case. No bigger than a typical suitcase, the Peak model measures 18” wide and 25” tall; even smaller, the Summit model is only 17” wide and 21.5” tall, and both models come in under 32 pounds. With their systems, there is no longer a need to heat water on a camp stove. Once the unit is set up and the water pump is turned on, just flip the ignitor switch on and have instant pressurized hot water to shower with and clean up dishes. Alternately, leave the ignitor switch off and wash up your gear with cold water without having to use up your liquid propane gas.
Off-grid or on, you power the Overland Shower 45 PSI Eccoflow water pump using the 12V/24V DC outlet from your adventure vehicle or any other portable 12-volt power system. Highly efficient, the Eccotemp EL5 water heater uses the same type of Liquid Propane you bring along for your cook stove. Even a one-pound LP canister can produce up to 40 minutes of hot water. The unit can increase your water temperature by up to 96 degrees with a maximum temperature of 120 degrees. Once set up, use the water flow and gas flow controls on the front of the EL5 to optimize the water temperature to your desired needs.
The Overland Shower and Water System comes in two models that can be operated standing upright on any flat, stable surface or suspended by the case bracket. The Summit has a fabricated Aluminum case and can be mounted to the exterior of a truck camper, teardrop, or gear trailer. The Peak has an injection-molded polypropylene case designed for a more portable “carry and use” function. Each case is ruggedly designed for its specific use and comes with a lifetime warranty.
On your adventures, don’t deny yourself real comfort. Go Out, Get Dirty, and Get Clean with the Overland Shower and Water System.

SPACE Trailers — Sport Utility Trailer
In 2009, SPACE Trailers founders made a pact to purchase more fuel-efficient cars. They knew space would be an issue and agreed that leaving gear behind was not an option. So, around a campfire, SPACE Trailers was born. Made and manufactured in Red Wing, Minnesota, the lightweight and versatile SPACE Trailer is here to meet your travel needs.
The affordable trailers provide maximum SPACE during use and require minimum SPACE when in storage. Whether you’re hauling kayaks, bikes, camping gear, or working on DIY projects, SPACE Trailers are up to the challenge. The team is passionate about helping others discover the advantages of SPACE Trailers and is dedicated to expanding our customizable features while building the SPACE Trailer community.
Every base SPACE Trailer model starts with a 4×7 foot box with a tailgate. When you build your trailer online, you have the standard options of either a HighRider or LowRider model and one of their ten colors. The trailer bed is a ½” dual-coated plywood with nonskid flooring. All base trailer models come with a removable canopy that can easily open, even when your gear is mounted on top, and easily removed when you need to haul larger gear and projects (ATV, dirt bike, lumber/ladders). SPACE bumpers allow you to store your trailer vertically in your garage when not in use. Additionally, the tongue is bolted on the trailer frame (not welded), so when you store the trailer vertically in your garage, the tongue will flip down. All base SPACE Trailers come assembled with 13” Mod Black highway-rated radial tires. These durable steel rims are great for four-season commuting, off-pavement travel, and traveling in heavy snow.
The unique tailgate design flips open to 90° and 180° using latches on both sides. Base trailers come with a Standard 4ft Tongue, 2” coupler, and standard gas cylinders. Dependable and noticeably bright LED lights are positioned on the back and sides of the trailer, while the custom-made wiring is tucked away and protected to eliminate common lighting issues. The four-prong lighting receiver easily connects to your vehicle. The custom-made LED lighting harness requires a 4-flat wire connection.
With a base trailer weighing 600 lbs, you can pull the trailer with just about any vehicle-EVs, Subarus, Jeeps, vans, and more. If you are looking for the perfect versatile, multi-use travel trailer, look no further.

Decked — Drawer System
The Decked drawer system has long been popular in overlanding circles, making it easy and affordable to add secure storage to a pickup truck while maintaining a functional bed. With the release of its new second-generation drawer system, Decked has made a number of notable improvements that many truck owners will be excited about.
Perhaps most notably, the system has been completely redesigned for mid-size pickups, the most popular truck segment in the overlanding world by far. The previous generation had essentially been a scaled-down version of their full-size drawers – a system that has worked well but offered an opportunity for a more targeted design refresh, which resulted in a single “super drawer” that offers a 30% increase in capacity. The full-size system also saw a notable increase of 10% in its already efficient storage capacity.
Both the mid-size and full-size gen 2 drawers have an all-new molding technology that improves both impact resistance and durability by 25% over the outgoing generation. Along with these upgrades, the second-generation drawer system also brings new bed tie-downs, improved weather sealing, and the expansion of compatible truck models.

National Luna — 55L Legacy Smart QC Fridge/Freezer
These days, there is no shortage of offroad refrigerators to choose from across a wide range of sizes and prices. One of the storied brands in the overlanding space is National Luna, a company that has been manufacturing refrigerators for off-road use for quite a few decades. They’ve been known to be robust, efficient units that have weathered the worst that our planet has thrown at them on countless overlanding adventures the world over. As technology has advanced and manufacturers have started to offer a more feature-rich set of technologies such as Bluetooth smart apps, National Luna has stuck with its tried and true format that has served them well for all those years…until recently. National Luna has recently come out with their Legacy Smart QC line that plants one foot in its robust past – continuing all the elements that have made the National Luna fridges and freezers great while stepping forward into the future with its new, updated, and smart, control panel. The new incarnation of the legacy line offers the best of both worlds in this regard. For those who already own a National Luna fridge but want to upgrade, NL now also offers a replacement control panel that adds the “smart” to the “legacy” you already have.
MSRP: Starting at $1195.00
