Industry Spotlight

Industry Spotlight: Potential Motors

Potential Motors began from a desire to transform the driving experience. On this journey, Potential’s Chief Scientist, an avid overlander in his Winnebago, started to get fed up with the limitations of where he could go. Time after time, he would come to trails where his vehicle was simply too wide to enter. He would look up the mountain and see the peak, but it was completely inaccessible to him and anyone else with a van, truck, or SUV.

Industry Spotlight: Oliver Travel Trailers

The Oliver family has been camping for decades and has a great love for each other and the outdoors. They have always enjoyed the togetherness that camping brings and the memories they shared during their adventures.

Industry Spotlight: High Country Motor Lodge

Even the most well-traveled overlander needs to take the occasional pit stop to relax, reorganize, and plan the next leg of the journey. If you’re going to take some time off from the road, it’s best to do it at a place that’s designed with the adventurous spirit in mind.

Gear Showcase: Power and Lighting

As everything becomes more technology dependent, the need for more readily accessible power in your rig or at your campsite goes up. From solar panels to rechargeable batteries to convenience receptacles, we’ve got you covered this month. In addition, we shed some light on the latest and greatest illumination just in time for sunset to come earlier as we transition into the heart of fall. This month’s theme: more light and more power for your overlanding adventures.
