I'm the newest new guy. Driving a 2021 Silverado HD Custom. I want to turn it into a reasonably priced overland vehicle for my family. I'm realizing figuring out how to outfit it is more complicated than I thought.

Welcome Jared,
Remember that you dont need to shell out a boat load of money to get out there. Rock what you got & build it as you go. Enjoy & be safe!
Good morning, I’m Ryan. From the Charleston SC area. New to Overlanding type of camping and travel. Not new to camping, but looking to explore and see other types of things. My rig definitely need to be multi purpose. I’m a building contractor specializing in outdoor spaces, mostly composite deck systems. So My truck is a 2016 Ram 2500 CTD crew cab long bed. I tow heavy a lot, a dump trailer, or the Super Air Nautique 226TE. So I need most of everything I build to be removable pretty quickly. The plan is a RTT, water and power systems for weekend or midweek getaways to lakes where we will be using the boat. Sites that allow offshore moring of the boat at the camp sites. Lots of the lakes around our area have campgrounds with ramps. its nice to be here to gain information to see what works best.

Hello Ryan, welcome to Overland Bound!

It doesn't have to be complicated. Just figure out what you NEED to achieve your adventure goals. Anything beyond that is optional.
