Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Hi Tom,
Welcome to Overland Bound!
And thank you for your deteailed introducion. The canopy camper is a great setup. Enjoy!

...in and out of the truck and just planning for a trip was exhausting.
Sometime during the pandemic, I decided I wanted to get into the Roof Top Tent game, with fresh Bush Company gear from CVT (CVT had just started importing it and putting on their own branding) and of course some bling like...

...Black bear are only a major problem in developed campgrounds and mountain towns where they're used to seeing a lot of people (and trash).
I'm not sure if locking a grizzly away from food just makes you the next best snack, but I'd probably opt for hanging the bag in a tree away from my tent.
I always keep a boom stick, bear spray, and handgun in the tent with me at night and can exit the tent onto the rack if I needed to see what's going on without being on the ground. As long as I don't get pulled out of the RTT without warning, then I feel like I'd have a chance to get out of a...

Thank you so much for advice! I’m looking to get an air mattress that would fit in my truck bed and have a tarp or something over me to prevent rain or something protective from the elements. :)

Sure, after a lifetime of building out our own Jeeps- Landcruiser and expo trailers and camping in tents and later on in a rooftop tent , my wife and I decided to go full time. Once that decision was made we spoiled ourselves and had our new home on wheels custom built. The aluminum bed was a...

I’m new to overlanding, so looking forward to setting up things in the truck bed with a tent overhead. It’ll be so wonderful or even something where it’s just for my dog and I. Go stargazing, and enjoy nature! Any tips for beginners?
...plugs because of they're propensity to walk out. I'm using them for my fridge and 12v for my RTT (lights, charging electronics, and CPAP in the tent), as well as cooking area lights
