Overland Calling
Camp/Overland Mods
Below are some of Modifications that have made the biggest impact for me traveling for 1-5 week trips. The list is never-ending and to include everything is not practical. We will do the best to outline the most useful items below and in the gear section.

Sleep Area
Roofnest Condor XL
Roof Top Tent
I am very happy with the quality and ease of use. When open it is roughly the size of a king size bed. I wanted plenty of room for sleeping and storage room for pillow/blankets/ sleeping bag. Video coming with full tour. When I sleep downstairs to keep the puppy company I have a super comfortable sleeping mat. They no longer make my model, but I have included a link to the new version below.
Overland Office
ARB Awning and Annex Room
I spend a lot of time here for work, relaxation, and sometimes sleeping. When it is me and my dogZues I sleep down here with him (still a puppy and does not like being left alone). I chose the awning type because of cost, ability to be totally enclosed, and the shape of the workspace. I have been very happy with one exception. The zippers on the annex room are not water proof and water leaks through. I am trying out different ideas to keep the water out. Check out the video Review.
Kitchen
Tailgate Workspace
When cooking I usually use the tailgate. To make the tailgate a better work surface I covered it with a plastic tabletop and that improved things greatly. The ARB fridge and propane bottle are positioned for easy access from the tailgate. I also have a simple tarp I can put up when it rains to have plenty of dry space for cooking.
POWER
Power Station and Custom Power
Power management is essential for creature comforts and when working remote. I use a Yeti 500 power station for my in cab items. For everything else I built my own Power system to meet custom needs housed in packout box. It is a 100ah system with power distribution in my RTT, Truck Bed, & Office Area. It also powers my fridge and camp lighting. I have a 25Amp DC-DC charger and 180wt solar to keep things topped off. I had very little knowledge about power stations when I started and it was actually my introduction to YouTube as I pieced information together. Since I was not an expert I pretty much over-engineered everything with larger wire and fused at each end. Due to increased power demands I am currently reworking some things. In that process I am doing a complete video series on the build. Coming soon!
