Hey all. I'm Joe. I'm in Illinois, about 30 miles NE of St Louis. I have pretty extensive camping experience, and have been taking the 2020 F-150 out to more remote places in the last few years. Pics below are from a KOFA trip about 3 years ago. I'm planning to go out west again this winter, and recently picked up a RTT and have a proper bed rack on order. I'll post more pics as it all comes together. Glad to be here!

Hi Joe. Welcome to OB! Can’t wait to see the build up of the F150!

Hey there! New here, and new to this lifestyle, although I have always been an outdoors guy, but overall new to the vehicle side of it.

Im from the West Texas area. I just purchased a 2024 GMC Terrain AT4, I know its not much but for my current life situation and budget, I figured it would be a good start to this adventuring lifestyle. I have always been outdoors camping, fishing, hiking etc but never really dabbled into the off-roading, exploring side but here I am, ready to join a new community & have a new hobby with my sons!

Hi Joe. Welcome to OB! A friend of mine has the Terrain AT4 and loves it!

Hello. I'm new to overlanding. I've been caming for probably 40 years. Never really offroad camping just in camps/state parks ect. We decided after watching a couple years of overlanding shows on YouTube that it was what we really wanted to do. We bought a new 2023 Jeep Gladiator almost 2 months ago and are about to start building it. We have the Clayton 3.5" overland plus lift, method 703s, Yokohama Geolandar G003 MTs all hopefully being installed over the next week or 2. We look forward to learning alot from this group!

Hey everyone!
rig: 22 Tacoma
Location: southern MN
Overland experience: pretty new to it. We’ve done the TWAT, SEMAT, and we like to go up in nort minnysoda, wheel round in the iron range. It’s fun now that I have kids I’m trying to get them out doing the things I wish I could have.

let me know if you’re also in the MN area, trying to get together with some friends that do this, I’m usually solo!

Hey, I'm Edward.

My wife and I have been full-time RVers since 2018 but recently bought a home in Prescott, Arizona to settle down, at least for a few years, until we get the itch to travel again. We would still like to hit some local dry camping areas around here, Sedona, and Flagstaff but just weekend trips.

Our previous RV was a small fifth wheel in which I had about ten grand in solar and lithium setup so we were able to dry camp for extensive periods.
I will likely set up another fairly large solar array on our Overlanding vehicle, whatever that may be, so I'll be checking out some of your setups to see what works on these much smaller vehicles.

So, we're selling our coach (2020 Tiffin Motorhome) and looking into something much smaller and easier to park. Don't make fun of us because we were previously "hard-core glampers"! Haha. I have to say, we'll miss the stackable washer and dryer, four TVs, and 23 cubic foot residential fridge but we're looking forward to seeing what kind of setup we (I) can fit into, comfortably. I am 6'6'' 250 lbs so I'm guessing not much. At this point, we're thinking of a pickup and RTT but who knows? We're just getting started in the research phase so if any of you are my size or bigger, please feel free to PM me (if that is possible here) with info on your setup!

Here's a pic of what we've been "Roughing it" in.
Looking forward to downsizing.
