Top 4 Overland Campers

Written by Madison White | April 04, 2023

Are you looking to add a little more adventure to your camping routine this summer? Try Overland camping. Overlanding is a mix of camping and off-roading. It is meant to be a little more off-grid than traditional camping and emphasizes not only the outdoor camping experience but also the journey to get there.

So what makes an Overland RV different from a regular camper and gives it the ability to go off-roading? Overland campers are built tougher on the exterior, often equipped with things like off-road tires and four wheel drive. They are designed to be more stable on rougher and bumpier trails. However, from the inside they are still a luxurious home away from home. In this article, we will cover some of the best Overland RVs on the market to help you decide what fits your lifestyle and budget.

1. Storyteller Overland MODE LT
