Last time, we were inspecting solar arrangements. Many of these high-end rigs can be solid opportunities to inspire ideas for modifications that have already gone through extensive R&D to make it to the vendor’s booth. Granted, for us, we don’t get envious, we get creative. The danger of attending Overland Expo is always in the vendors’ area where colorful displays and compelling demonstrations introduce new products you never knew you needed or opulently appointed overland rigs that invoke the green-eyed monster. But, of course, we can’t help but be distracted by dirt bikes and a myriad of other products. We are in the market to size up our tires and spend a good chunk of the day discussing the pros and cons of different tire diameters. A lot of the stalls are manned by business owners and experienced employees. Expo is a fantastic opportunity to see products up close and pick the brains of vendors. Getting Lost Among the Vendors’ Boothsīy Saturday, we are lectured out and ready to explore the vendors. Owner presents truck camper in the Showcase & DIY Vehicle Area.
We spend our pre-expo evening walking the lines of rigs and getting excited about the following dayĭIY presentation about Drive the Globe rig. The expansive grassy fields are gradually covered in pop-up overland trailers, converted unimogs, trucks with rooftop tents, 4×4 vans, and a delightful range of truck campers.
