    Eezi-awn Blade RTT Review

    Hej everyone, I recently put a video together reviewing my Eezi-Awn Blade rooftop tent. The main reason why I did this is because at the time of researching hard shell RTT's the Blade had plenty of advertising but no consumer/owner reviews. As for the video, it's my first time in front of the...

    270° awning, 2m or 2.5m ?

    My plan this fall has been to upgrade to a 270° awning form my Land Rover. With demand very high and supply very low in Europe selection is thin at best, sizes and colors are nearly " what you is what you can buy". With that said, a 2.0m awning (olive green) is available for purchase but not in...

    Useless Velcro straps

    I'm sure that I'm not alone when I say the velcro straps on my rooftop tent are useless. Only having the rooftop tent for 3 years and yes using regularly from spring to fall a person would think that the velcro would be of higher quality considering they are exposed to the elements. Then on the...

    OB Meet in Sweden ?

    How much work does it take you to get into overlanding mode?

    As I was under the landy today attacking an endless list of things to do, it got me wondering if I'm alone with the endless amounts of things to be done before the prime seasons for adventuring? Normally I set my landy up in to two modes, offroading and adventure. I just finished my Småland...

    Hej from South East Sweden

    Hej, I'm a Canadian living in South Eastern Sweden who's been involved with 4x4's since I was a kid sitting in the back of my dad's offroaders in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Myself I'm hooked on Land Rover's and have owned them since the late 80's. My present landy is 1980 Series 3, 88"...
