Why I Switched From Trailer to Van Camping, and What I've Learned So Far

1 month ago | outsideonline.com | Bryan Rogala

If you're a regular reader of this column or have followed my adventures over the years, you've no doubt realized that I have a habit of changing adventure rigs quite often.

I went to my first Overland Expo show for in 2015. At that time, Overland Expo East was held in Asheville, North Carolina, and I begged my editors to let me fly out and cover the event. No one in the office had really heard of the event back then, and a few were skeptical that "overlanding" was something the Outside Online audience would care about. Turns out, people did care.

Overlanders are arguably the most intense gearheads in the outdoor community. They're willing to spend months (if not years) and thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars dialing in their perfect setup. As such, the overland product market is usually a rich place to find new and innovative gear. Some of it is way too specific and not much use to the general public, but a handful of items have a much broader appeal, and that's what we've rounded up below.

The Best Adventure Rig Classifieds from Across the Internet This Month

2 months ago | outsideonline.com | Bryan Rogala

I love gawking at cool 4x4s and campers, and I also love a good deal. I have a buddy who suffers from the same affliction, and we have a text thread going back several years that’s filled mainly with Craigslist links to cool vehicles we’ve found online. This affinity for adventure rig classifieds is how I ended up with a 2006 Power Wagon a few years ago and how he scored a killer deal on an even rarer truck and camper.

Northern New Mexico’s painted high desert landscapes, green chile, turquoise, margaritas, and world-class art galleries may make you never want to leave. And why should you? With plentiful gravel roads, mountain tracks, and numerous bike and multiuse trails, the city is also a cycling paradise.
New Overlanding Campers and Trailers Are Out of Control

Mar 21, 2025 | outsideonline.com | Bryan Rogala

Overlanding seems to have become all about creating the most ultra-luxurious or ultra-accessorized rig possible. If I’ve learned one thing in all the camper and trailer testing I’ve done, it’s simpler is better. Less stuff to break means more time having fun outside. People spend stupid amounts of money building adventure rigs, and pour tons of their own time and energy into creating luxurious mobile dwellings for themselves.

Feb 28, 2025 | outsideonline.com | Bryan Rogala

Truck campers are some of the most popular rigs for outdoorsy folks, for good reason. They’re designed to slide into or sit on top of just about any truck bed, are relatively simple, and can go anywhere a pickup can haul them. So far this year we’ve seen the release of three new truck camper models from established manufacturers that have us even more excited about the category than usual.
How to Organize and Store Your Outdoor Gear the Practical Way

Feb 24, 2025 | outsideonline.com | Bryan Rogala

It’s that time of year, when we all become obsessed with bettering ourselves. Rather than a health-focused resolution this year, one of mine involved getting a handle on organizing my garage full of outdoor gear and simplifying the process of packing for trips. Before diving into what I did, let me give you a little background. I’ve always been a generalist when it comes to outdoor pursuits and dabble in a lot of different sports and hobbies.
