Most of the vehicles displayed in the booths at Overland Expo West are showpieces. They鈥檝e been built to catch your eye and highlight the newest gear. There鈥檚 nothing wrong with these adventure rigs鈥攖hey鈥檙e works of art that any overlander would be excited to drive. But, because they sit at the very top of the overland gear pyramid, they don鈥檛 exactly represent the reality of everyday overlanding.

Consequently, our team always spends a day out in the nearby campgrounds. It鈥檚 out there, under the trees and in the dirt, where you find trucks, vans, and other creations that represent the best of DIY culture and showcase the kind of rigs that people actually use on global adventures. Here are our favorite DIY overlanding rigs from this year.

The post The 7 Best DIY 国产吃瓜黑料 Rigs from Overland Expo West 2025 appeared first on 国产吃瓜黑料 Online.

I went to my first show for 国产吃瓜黑料 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 鈥渙verlanding鈥� was something the 国产吃瓜黑料 Online audience would care about.

Turns out, people did care. A video tour I shot of an Earth Cruiser ended up being one of the site鈥檚 most popular videos for years, and a decade later, overlanding is more popular than ever.

This year鈥檚 Overland Expo drew more than 28,000 people, and there were 423 registered exhibitors showing off the latest and greatest stuff the industry has to offer. As we鈥檝e done for the last 10 years, we scoured the show for the best gear and most innovative rigs. These are the four new campers that impressed me most at this year’s expo.

(from $39,995)

Durango-based Outpost Campers launched their 6.5 slide-in truck camper last Summer, but this was their first time at Overland Expo West. This company is actually the same team behind 鈥攖hey re-branded and put a pause on van builds due to the demand they were getting for truck campers. After taking a look at Expo, it鈥檚 easy to see why given the impeccable craftsmanship, open floorplan, and the great value they pack into that $39K price tag.

Watch: Inside the Outpost 6.5聽

Made from composite panels, the Outpost 6.5 is a true four-season camper with a very high insulation value. For 2025, the company started using a different composite panel that鈥檚 more durable and lighter than previous models, giving the camper a dry weight of 1,475 pounds. To me, what really sets this camper apart is what you get for the base price: a 5k Wh Ecoflow lithium battery and power station that includes a 3000 watt inverter, 60 Amp DC-DC charger and dual solar charge controllers, 250 watts of solar, a 20 gallon fresh water tank, aluminum cabinetry with bamboo countertops, an 86-liter fridge, an induction cooktop, a Maxxair fan, and more.

I built my own composite truck camper a few years ago, and can tell you that if Outpost had been around then, I probably would have saved myself the DIY trouble. I鈥檓 planning to take an Outpost 6.5 out for a proper test this summer, so stay tuned for a full review.

(from $56,879)

Cube Series launched their pop-up, a few years ago, but this was the first time I鈥檝e seen their new trailer in person. It鈥檚 one of very few on the market, and a super compelling option for anyone who needs their trailer to fit in a garage or just wants an easier towing experience.

Composite and aluminum construction keep the weight down to just 2,730 pounds, so it鈥檚 easily towable behind smaller SUVs and pickups. It comes with 25-gallon fresh and grey water tanks, an 18,000BTU furnace, and a DC-DC charger for charging the battery off your tow rig. Electric actuators lift the roof once you get to camp and give you over 7 feet of headroom inside. I’m hoping to spend some time testing this trailer later this year.

(from $21,449)

This one was a first for me at the show鈥攁 camper trailer specifically designed to be pulled by a UTV or side by side. The founders of spent a lot of time camping around the North Rim of the Grand Canyon out of their side by sides, and grew tired of trying to cram all their gear into the limited cargo space. Their solution was to create a trailer light enough to pull behind their rigs, yet big enough to haul gear and offer a more comfortable place to sleep.

At just 1,100 pounds, these trailers can be pulled behind most UTVs, and the company鈥檚 鈥渨alking beam suspension鈥� allows the little trailers to traverse some seriously gnarly terrain with ease. High Country Unlimited offers , including one with a rooftop tent and one with a Kodiak canvas tent made for a truck bed built in. You can add options like a diesel heater, portable shower system, and more to turn these little trailers into full-on campers capable of going anywhere your side by side will tow them.

(from $109,500)

The Pebble Flow was one of two fully electric travel trailers we saw at Expo this year that were specifically designed to be towed behind an electric vehicle. The Pebble Flow was originally announced back in 2023, and this was the first time we laid eyes (and hands) on one in person. Color us impressed.

The Pebble Flow is a 25-foot travel trailer with a dry weight of 5,800 pounds鈥攚ell within the 11,000-pound towing capacity of a . It differs from its main competitor, the Lightship AE.1 Cosmos, in that it doesn鈥檛 collapse down for driving and has some nifty, automated features like 鈥淩emote Control鈥�, 鈥淢agic Hitch,鈥� and 鈥淚nstaCamp” built in. We didn鈥檛 get to see these in action, but Pebble claims that the trailer will automatically hitch itself to your vehicle and decouple once in camp, can be maneuvered into a campsite via a remote control (without a tow rig attached), and deploy the stairs, stabilizers, and levelers with the push of a button.

There are, of course, built into this thing, like dual motors at the wheels that make towing easier and extend the range of the tow vehicle, regenerative braking, and a high-efficiency heat pump. While we鈥檙e still in the early days of high-tech, electric trailers, I’m excited to see these concept rigs like the Pebble Flow start shipping production units to customers this year.

(not yet available)

Ok, so technically you can鈥檛 buy this rig yet, but it鈥檚 too cool not to be included on this list. At first glance, I assumed this was just a run-of-the-mill Jeep Wrangler with a rooftop tent, but it鈥檚 not. Jeep Performance Parts calls this their 鈥淎RTT鈥� concept. It is a collaboration with Dometic, and is actually an integrated rooftop tent and 270-degree awning housed in an aerodynamic, carbon fiber shell that attaches directly to the roof of the Wrangler without the need for a rack. That saves a ton of weight, and it allows you to access the tent from the inside of the vehicle via the Jeep鈥檚 removable 鈥渇reedom panels.鈥� It鈥檚 pretty cool, and basically turns a Wrangler into a little mini camper without adding tons of weight and ruining the way it drives.

(from $138,000)

This one turned a lot of heads at the show, and it was our first time seeing a Bowlus in person. The Bowlus Rivet is a 25-foot, luxury travel trailer that weighs just 2,800 pounds dry. The company has a pretty interesting history鈥擧awley Bowlus made the first riveted aluminum travel trailer in 1934, which looked a lot like what you see here, but his company went out of business after Walley Byum created a very similar riveted aluminum trailer鈥攖he Airstream.

These days, Bowlus is widely known for building one of the highest quality trailers on the market, and it really shows when you get inside. The base model comes with 4k Wh of battery power (and can be optioned with up to 8k Wh), and 660 watts of solar, so you can literally camp off grid indefinitely without running out of juice. The trailer also features a hydronic heating system with five silent radiators to evenly distribute heat throughout the trailer. We also particularly liked the placement of the door, which allows you to easily load bikes, kayaks and other long, bulky gear into the trailer.

Overlanders are arguably the most intense gearheads in the outdoor community. They鈥檙e 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鈥檚 what we鈥檝e rounded up below. Over three days, we scoured dozens of booths at Overland Expo West to find the gear that will help recreational campers enjoy summer camping trips that much more.

Watch: Our Favorite Rig at Overland Expo West

($269)

Air conditioning and adventure rigs have never really gone hand in hand. Usually, the AC units you see sitting atop travel trailers and RVs require a lot of electricity to run, meaning your rig needs to be plugged into a standard, household 120v outlet (or 鈥渟hore power鈥�). Twelve-volt AC units, like the or portable , are capable of running off your rig鈥檚 house battery, but they鈥檙e very expensive and run times are usually limited to a few hours without a massive battery bank. The Transcool E3, on the other hand, can run for up to 157 hours on a 100ah battery. It鈥檚 an Australian-made, portable evaporative cooler that holds a half gallon of water and only weighs 4.2 pounds. While it won鈥檛 cool down an entire rig or room the way a true air conditioner will, it could be the perfect solution for anyone looking to add a little cool air to their rig鈥攅specially since it costs just a fraction of a 12V AC unit.

($3,299)

, which until recently was called , makes these nifty little camper boxes that are meant to be mounted in a truck bed or on a flatbed trailer. At 180 to 190 pounds depending on the size you choose, they’re lightweight and designed to be easily removed from your truck or trailer when not in use. They鈥檙e also very well insulated鈥攖he two-inch, rigid foam walls have an R12-15 rating, which is incredibly high for a camper and means it won鈥檛 take much to heat or cool this thing. You can pick from either a truck mounting or during purchase, or you can simply strap the box down via ratchet straps.

($175)

Camping lanterns have been around forever, but Devos is changing the market with their LightRanger series of lights. The LightRanger 1200 is a USB-C rechargeable LED lantern that puts out 1200 lumens and comes with an adjustable light stand capable of telescoping the lantern up to 9 feet in the air. Raising the lantern that far overhead means it’s capable of lighting up a 60-foot area, and it鈥檒l keep the bugs up above you rather than buzzing around your camp table. It can run for up to 80 hours on its lowest setting (60 lumens), and nearly four hours on max.

(From $30)

We love it when someone finds a problem with an existing product and decides to make it better. Case in point, the Rollercam L Track Kit. The founder of Rollercam got sick of using traditional cam straps on river trips, which become difficult to tighten when friction builds between the cam and webbing. He designed a strap with a brass roller (hence the name Rollercam) integrated into it, which alleviates the friction problem problem and makes it easier to tighten the straps securely. Rollercam鈥檚 latest innovation is the L Track kit, which lets you pair different-length straps that come with L-Track fittings attached to the ends. As a result, you easily secure all sorts of gear to L-track systems commonly used in van builds, trailers, truck beds, and more.

While Koni has a long history in the automotive world, the brand is still somewhat unknown in the overland space. This was Koni鈥檚 first year at Overland Expo West, and they were showing off their current line of shocks along with the new , which is the company鈥檚 first overland-specific shock. The Explorer is a 2-inch aluminum, monotube design that features the brand鈥檚 ACTIVE FSD, or Frequency Selective Damping, technology. Basically, it uses mechanical components to automatically switch between low and high damping forces depending on whether you鈥檙e driving on the highway or off pavement. In other words, these shocks will likely be perfect for the vast majority of overlanders out there.

($549)

It can be a little spooky to drive your overland rig out into the middle of nowhere, set up camp, and just hope that nothing goes wrong. Some people bring firearms for protection, but if that makes you uncomfortable, the Byrna is a great alternative. The device, which looks exactly like a traditional gun, fires less-lethal projectiles that are powered by a CO2 canister. Those projectiles, which are round and not designed to penetrate, come out at 400 feet per-second and will deter most humans and many animals within a 60-foot range. If you want added protection, you can also load the Byrna with rounds that are full of a chemical irritant that sprays out when the projectile makes impact. The CL is not classified as a firearm so you don鈥檛 need a permit or background check, but you do have to be 18 years old to buy one.

($122)

When we first walked up to the Kama booth, we were confused by the product on display but drawn in by the beautiful colors and designs. Owner and founder Rachel Dobronyi explained that what we were looking at were high-quality mats made from a 1000-denier nylon shell and lined with marine-grade foam. These mats spreadsout quickly but also pack up into a tight and easy-to-transport bundle. When we asked about their intended use, she gave us a laundry list. She said people use them as changing mats during ski, surf, and bike days, put them outside their vans as a place to hold their shoes, and even drape them over the back of their truck tailgate so they can transport mountain bikes without scratching any paint. We photographed the medium-sized offering but there鈥檚 also a larger mat that would be great for gatherings in the park, and a smaller version that people can use as a place to sit when backpacking or hunting.

($100)

When you head out camping, there鈥檚 always a question about how to transport and store the little stuff. We鈥檙e talking headlamps, walkie talkies, extra cords, flashlights, etc. The best place, based on lots of experience, is in a headrest bag like this one from Onwrd. With two big storage pockets, it will hold a family鈥檚 worth of headlamps, help you keep your cords organized and tangle-free, and also comes with a padded sunglasses pocket so you have a safe space to store your sunnies overnight. There are other companies out there that make headrest bags, but we think Onwrd’s design is the best because it slips over any headrest on the market via elastic bands and then can be tightened down with straps so it doesn鈥檛 rattle around on rough roads.

($699)

We鈥檝e been going to Overland Expos for a decade now and noticed that there鈥檚 a new trend in the market. Some people still want big campers and plush rooftop tents, but lots of other folks want to keep their camping setup as simple as possible. Enter sleeping platforms like the Hideaway, which slides into the back of your SUV or truck and creates a comfortable but ultra-simple way to sleep in your car when you鈥檙e adventuring off the grid. Similar to an extra-large cot designed for vehicles, the Hideaway come in three sizes (single, double, and XL) and is made in the U.S. from durable materials, including 500-denier cordura fabric for the cover and anodized aluminum for the legs. The legs are also adjustable so you get storage underneath, and when not in use, the Hideaway packs away and roll up into a similarly-sized package as a ground tent.

($400)

The Bugout is a wildly popular model from Benchmade because it鈥檚 the perfect size for everyday carry. At just 4.22 inches when folded up, it fits nicely in your pocket and never interferes when you need to grab your phone or keys. But at a respectable 7.46 inches when open, it鈥檚 enough knife for any everyday task鈥攃utting salami at the campsite, gutting a fish, opening a box, etc. This version of the Bugout recently launched and ups the ante by using a higher quality blade (CPM-S90V stainless steel) and by including the red richlite material on the handle that鈥檚 designed to come away with its own unique patina over time. The Bugout is not the knife you want for a hunting trip, or a survival outing, but you鈥檇 be hard pressed to find a nicer knife for everyday use.

($1,719)

Well-known as the premier bike rack company on the market, 1Up just expanded its offerings with a rack specifically designed for motorcycles. The Moto Rack borrows a similar design from the company鈥檚 original bike racks with two arms that clamp down on the wheels but don鈥檛 rub any of the frame compartments. It also comes with included wheel chocks that fit in the trays and sit snugly against the tires to cut down on wobble. If you want even more security, the rack has a mechanism to hold and tighten down ratchet straps that go over the arms (or any part of the bike) to create one more layer of assurance. Rated to carry motos up to 500 pounds with tires up to seven inches wide, the Moto Rack is not designed for big road motorcycles but instead for dirt and enduro bikes or other smaller, two-wheel motorized devices. An included ramp that pulls out of the tray makes loading and unloading a cinch.

The post The Most Exciting New Gear at Overland Expo West 2025 appeared first on 国产吃瓜黑料 Online.

Overland Expo West is always full of amazing adventure rigs, and this year the buzz was around electric vehicles. This was the first time we saw not just one, but two fully-electric trailers. It was exciting to see brands take the technology that鈥檚 been proven in electric cars and find clever ways to bring it into overlanding, and the R&D that went into these products will likely trickle down throughout the overland market.

Lightship AE.1 Cosmos Edition ()

Our favorite build of the show was the Lightship AE.1 Cosmos Edition. The Cosmos is the premier offering from Lightship, featuring its own electric batteries that power the trailer wheels. That means that when you鈥檙e towing the Cosmos behind your electric SUV, you鈥檒l have zero (or very little) range loss and not have to worry that the trailer weight is going to bog you down and leave you stranded. The trailer also has 1,800 watts of rooftop solar panels that help its batteries stay topped off. Inside, it鈥檚 one of the roomiest camping trailers we鈥檝e ever toured, with a huge space for hosting meals, an ample bedroom, a slick kitchen, and a well-featured bathroom.

It鈥檚 no surprise that overlanding is booming鈥攚hen it comes to outdoor adventure, there鈥檚 nothing more accessible. With a few key pieces of gear, you can explore the backcountry and camp in comfort in the most remote places. But that doesn鈥檛 mean you should just hop in your vehicle and leave the pavement behind. You can avoid a lot of trial and error by learning from someone who has years of experience.

That鈥檚 why we enlisted for some expert advice. The adventure videographer started overlanding more than a decade ago as a way to save money while exploring the wilds of North America. He loved it so much that he never stopped. From Baja to Alaska, Muse and his dog, , have enjoyed adventures that will last a lifetime. And they鈥檙e not slowing down. 鈥淣ow it鈥檚 just a way of life,鈥� says Muse. After thousands of miles, he says the most important thing is having the right vehicle with the . Case in point: On an epic overlanding journey through Baja, Muse decided to take the notorious North Road to a magical surf break. The route required fail-safe navigation, superb driving skills, and tires with excellent traction and durability.

We caught up with Muse and Kicker at on two different occasions this year. The annual gathering, held in four locations from spring to fall, offers a full immersion in overlanding gear and culture. At Overland Expo Mountain West, in Colorado this August, Muse shared his favorite gear鈥� tires鈥攁nd canvassed the crowd to learn about other attendees鈥� favorite overlanding products, from a rooftop tent to an espresso maker.

At Overland Expo West, in Arizona last May, Muse checked in with and all the top makers of vehicles, gadgets, and camping products. 鈥淢y favorite part of Overland Expo is the community,鈥� says Muse. 鈥淲hether you鈥檙e a weekend warrior or a hardcore full-timer, the people here are just excited to share knowledge and stories.鈥�

Muse is the same. He loves to learn from others and share some of his hard-won tips. Besides tires, which provide that all-important contact between your vehicle and the ground, he says there are four more key categories you should get right. Call them basic needs for comfort and safety: sleeping, eating, maintaining power, and getting clean. Here鈥檚 what Muse found at Overland Expo West to get outfitted on all fronts.

Sleep System

Muse drives a Ford Bronco, which means using a tent or trailer of some type for sleeping. Unless you鈥檙e in a larger vehicle with internal quarters, you鈥檒l have to balance setup/takedown convenience with comfort, protection, and stability. 鈥淚 use a Thule rooftop tent that turns my Bronco into an instant backcountry hotel,鈥� says Muse. At Overland Expo West, he stopped by the Thule booth to see what the brand鈥檚 engineers have been working on and discovered a new option for rigs like his. The , a hitch-mounted tent, offers many of the same advantages of a rooftop model, but it鈥檚 closer to the ground for easier access and is less exposed to wind. Muse hasn鈥檛 slept in it yet, but Kicker gave it a quick 鈥渉op-in test鈥� at the Expo and gave it a paw鈥檚 up.

All-Conditions Tires

A good overlanding rig starts with high clearance and four-wheel drive, but it definitely doesn鈥檛 end there. Tires are the single most important upgrade you can make when prepping to leave the pavement. Superior traction and puncture resistance are critical on dirt, mud, and rocks, and nothing will serve you better than tires. 鈥淚n the world of overlanding, tires are the foundation of every great adventure. The Dynapro family of tires has the traction and reliability you need to explore with confidence,鈥� says Robert Nasca, product and marketing training manager at . The Dynapro family of tires is designed specifically for light trucks and SUVs, with an emphasis on all-terrain performance and durability. The Dynapro off-road models鈥攖he AT2 Xtreme, MT2, and XT鈥攁re fine-tuned to fit the needs of overlanding, with different attributes to suit your type of driving.

鈥淲ith my current Bronco build, my focus is exploring hard-to-access places,鈥� Muse says. 鈥淗aving good tires is super important for that. I want a tire that has great off-road traction but also isn鈥檛 too loud during long days on the highway. That鈥檚 why I鈥檓 running the . Of course, I鈥檓 prepared to deal with a flat鈥攅veryone should be鈥攂ut I would much rather have reliable tires and leave the repair gear packed away. I鈥檝e been in a few situations with low-quality tires, and I will never make that mistake again.鈥�

To make the best use of your tires, you鈥檒l want a deflation device and portable air compressor. Lowering tire pressure increases the tire鈥檚 footprint, which improves traction on soft surfaces like sand and snow. Be sure to reinflate your tires to the recommended pressure when returning to pavement.

Food Storage

Whether you鈥檙e out for a weekend, a month, or a year, eating well is priority number one. First, it鈥檚 just plain satisfying to make and eat delicious meals in the backcountry. But it鈥檚 also important to eat fresh, nutritious ingredients that will keep you energized and healthy when you鈥檙e out for extended periods. For a long time, Muse made do with a conventional cooler. But on longer trips, coolers have obvious drawbacks鈥攏amely replenishing ice and dealing with soggy items. 鈥淜icker and I love to be on the road for months at a time,鈥� Muse says. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a lot of ice鈥攊f you can find it.鈥� Fortunately, the technology for portable electric refrigerators has exploded in recent years, and when Muse stopped by the booth, he was impressed with the brand鈥檚 latest fridge, which runs on both AC and DC power, requires less juice than a 60-watt lightbulb, and has 45 cubic feet of space.

Solar Power

You鈥檒l need power for that fridge and all your other devices. Muse also needs power for cameras, phone, laptop, and more. Solar panels (a 100-to-200-watt range is a good target) are the answer for off-the-grid living, but like any electronics, panels are vulnerable to backcountry mishaps. 鈥淵ou want to be as self-sufficient as possible when overlanding,鈥� says Muse. 鈥淎nd that means caring for your gear and always choosing durable options.鈥� Solar panels don鈥檛 get more durable than the ones from , which can withstand direct blows from a baseball bat. Literally. Muse hit the flexible panel as hard as he could, multiple times, and it didn鈥檛 break. The panels are also efficient: just plug them into the cigarette lighter or truck-bed plug while you鈥檙e driving and into a power station when you鈥檙e not, and you鈥檒l never be without juice.

Portable Shower

Play hard, get dirty, and clean up. 鈥淎 shower at the end of a long day can make the difference between a good trip and a great trip,鈥� says Muse. 鈥淏ut on overlanding journeys, water is almost always a precious commodity, so you need to be able to clean off without wasting a drop.鈥� That鈥檚 why he was thrilled to discover , a portable shower that鈥檚 so efficient you can get clean with less than one gallon of water. Pair it with a stove and you can even have a hot shower in less than five minutes. It鈥檚 also great for cleaning dishes, gear, and pets, and it鈥檚 super compact, so it鈥檚 compatible with any rig.

国产吃瓜黑料 has been covering Overland Expo West for the past nine years. We鈥檝e watched as the show went from a small gathering of hardcore overland veterans to a place where thousands of people, including many who are new to this type of travel (loosely defined as “backpacking out of an off-road vehicle”), come to check out the latest rigs and gear. Some people might gripe that all this growth has diluted the community and crowded out once pristine, and barely known, backcountry spots. But if you take a broader view you can appreciate how overlanding has introduced a whole new community of people to the outdoors. It鈥檚 also been a lot of fun to watch brands take overland gear to places we never imagined a decade ago.

After spending three days at this year鈥檚 Overland Expo West, held in Flagstaff, Arizona in mid-May, we rounded-up the best new gear we saw, keeping both veterans and newbies in mind and choosing products that we thought were not only innovative but also had a wide audience. Here are our picks.
