For our money, there’s no better solution for overlanding than a classic truck camper. Now, Arizona’s AT Overland Equipment has just debuted an all-new slide-in solution that perfectly balances weight, features, and price.

The Aterra Slide-In is the latest addition to AT Overland Equipment’s Aterra series. It’s designed for maximum versatility and customizability for full-sized pickup owners who want a truck camper that’s exactly as dialed-in as they need it to be. The base model is merely a lightweight (roughly 750 pounds) shell — a blank canvas, if you will — designed to be the perfect starter for your DIY build. The surprisingly spacious interior offers a 6’9″ standing height and a few essentials, like an RV King-sized sleeping area with a mattress, dual-pane Tern Windows, and a locking Tern rear entry door. It’s all well-insulated with an R6 value and R7 for the roof.

Buyers can also opt to upgrade to AT Overland’s Standard Package. For only $2,000 more, this flagship trim adds a boatload more technical features and conveniences. That includes a 105Ah lithium battery with 185 watts of roof-mounted solar, USB/12V outlets throughout, dimmable interior lighting, and a roof port for connecting your own Starlink Mini satellite. Essential safety features like a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and smoke and LP/CO detectors are included, too. The upgraded package only adds an additional 60 pounds, bringing the total weight to a little over 800 pounds.

With more creature comforts and tech than most studio apartments, you'll never feel like you're "roughing it"

For hardcore overlanders who can't bear to be without their creature comforts, we're living in a Golden Age of high-tech, off-road-ready rigs. Missouri's 27North has been at the forefront of the modern overlanding movement, and it's all-new Venture X campervan is a testament to that.

The Venture X joins 27North's line-up of ultra-modern and downright "luxurious" overlanding vehicles, including the Ascender and RexRover pickup truck campers. It's a tech-forward adventure van designed for all levels of overlander, from first-timers to families. Underpinned by the industry-standard Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170 platform, powered by a 4-cylinder high-output diesel, it rides and drives easy on-road, while the standard AWD system and all-terrain tires ensure it can tackle off-road trails, too. The company's Adventure Package adds a 50-inch light bar, ditch lights, a rooftop tent, and more to the mix, making this a seriously capable go-anywhere campervan.

Roofnest is upping its game and the size of its rooftop tents with the new, flagship Condor 2XXL Air. It's the Boulder brand's largest RTT ever with a whopping 51 square feet of floor space and 50 inches of headroom — enough to sleep four full-size adults and even a couple of pups comfortably. It's also among the few models available with an optional accessory ladder which allows for two entry/exit points, so you never have to disturb your fellow tentmates while getting up in the morning or for a midnight pee break.

It's loaded with tons of storage space and standard convenience features, too. There's a six-pocket gear grid built into the top shell, along with two deeper pockets that provide room for larger items, such as water bottles or portable battery banks. Dual three-pocket storage sets can be attached inside or outside the tent on either side of the door. Roofnest also includes three dimmable LED light strips, as well as HVAC ports in the tent wall for hooking up your favorite portable air conditioner/heater to make this a true four-season basecamp.

Bean Pod “squaredrop” trailer is built for serious adventure gear-hauling

By turning traditional teardrop design on its head, this adventure trailer becomes a serious gear hauler.

Most teardrop travel trailers are designed as "hardsided tents" with most of the usable interior space dedicated to a relatively comfortable live/sleep cabin. But that doesn't always allow for adequate storage, especially if you fancy traveling with all your favorite outdoor adventure gear. That's where Bean Trailer's new Bean Pod squaredrop towable comes in.

For its latest adventure travel trailer, Bean wanted to maximize gear-hauling capability. To do that, it swapped the traditional layout typically found in most teardrops, including in its own Bean Stock 2.0. Rather than sleeping inside with all your gear mounted to the roof, the Bean Pod can be outfitted with a rooftop tent, while the interior is left open for all your storage needs. A wide shelf, a dedicated air compressor tray, and tie-down points throughout the cabin allow for lashing and securing your gear however you see fit.
