    2015 Rav4

    Update: I full time overlanded out of my RAV4 from Texas, through the south west, through California and up through the north/midwest. I have been building it up for better trips and had the perfect opportunity through work to live out of it. I removed the front passenger seat, installed...

    Want advice: Best Storage Solutions for a Compact Overland Rig

    I did a year and a half of overlanding in my 2015 rav4. I took out the front passenger seat and built a storage box for stuff (clothes and gear) and had my bed on top. I do it solo though so it wouldn’t work if you have more than one. But finding small spots in your car for random storage helps...

    What is the best piece of advice you can give a new overlander?

    I’d say start small and get what you need as you learn what you need. Start with the basics first but build from that. I see so many people get a new rig and fully build it out and never even use it once they are done.

    1.5 years full time overlanding

    For 1.5 years I traveled from Texas to The Western Sierras and the surrounding area of California for work and I lived out of my 2015 Toyota RAV4. During that time I traveled almost 6000 miles, met amazing people, traveled and camped in some of the most beautiful places and learned a lot. In...
