Big things are coming to Overland Expo East 2026. This year’s Title Sponsor, @GoWanderbox will be bringing their 2026 30’ Outpost. Designed for serious off-road travel and long-term adventure, the Outpost blends rugged capability with refined living, creating an expedition platform built to go out farther and stay out longer. Overland Expo attendees will have the chance to step inside the Outpost, explore the build up close, and meet the Wanderbox team behind these custom expedition campers. This will also be the last Overland Expo show to lock in their show special discount as well as 2026 pricing, so don’t miss out! 📍 Overland Expo East Arrington, VA October 23-25 #OverlandExpo
