When it comes to overlanding fridges, there are tons options from a multitude of brands. Few, however, are as well known and highly regarded as Dometic. Its latest model, the CFX3 35, is a standout. So, we decided to take it on an adventure to see if it is as great trail as it is on paper.
Rooftop tents are awesome. They provide an easy-to-use and comfortable sleeping platform for virtually any overland rig. They have one potential downside, however: accessibility. Being high off the ground means that not everyone (or every creature) can easily access them. Rubicon Expedition Products’ Hitch Tent System aims to eliminate that downside forever.
Few pieces of overlanding kit are essential as tents and awnings. Although both have been around virtually as long as overlanding itself, there have been lots of entrants with big breakthroughs in both segments. This makes tough to know which is best. These are Overland Expo’s favorite tents and awnings.
A first aid kit is one of those pieces of equipment that you should definitely have but hope you never need. However, if you’re in the backcountry enough or even wrenching on your rig, you’ll inevitably need a band-aid or two.
The ATERRA Slide-In Camper is built for extended backcountry adventures regardless of the season or destination, with 1-inch Honeycomb composite construction that offers R5 insulation. The interior and exterior are coated with UV-resistant polyurea. The unit measures 76-in. wide, 130-in. long, and 84-in. tall from the truck bed floor. The interior offers 81 in. of headroom in the main living area and 32 in. at the highest point above the bed. All of this comes in at 817 lbs., so it’s perfect for a wide range of full-size trucks.
