Freedom Camper
If you’re heading to the Overland Mountain West Expo, one of the must-see rigs on display is the Freedom Camper. Take it from me—I first saw the Freedom Camper at Overland West earlier this year, and it was impressive, to say the least. In fact, I’d place it in the category of “stop you in your tracks” rigs—it’s that impressive.
At its heart, the Freedom Camper is an ultra-insulated, lightweight truck bed and trailer-mounted camper. It’s creating serious buzz in the overlanding industry—and for good reason. It delivers the kind of rugged performance, adaptability, and four-season comfort that most overlanders are after, but at a price point that’s refreshingly approachable. For folks looking to get the most value without sacrificing quality, the Freedom Camper should be high on your list!
One of the most appealing aspects of the Freedom Camper is its budget-friendly nature. In a market where overland campers can easily exceed the cost of a new truck, the Freedom Camper takes a different route—offering a well-constructed, American-made shelter for a fraction of the cost.
But affordable doesn’t mean cutting corners…
These campers are built by skilled craftsmen in Lamar, Missouri, using premium materials and smart, functional designs. It’s proof that you don’t have to empty your wallet to get into a high-quality camper that’s ready for rough weather and rugged terrain.
Adaptability is another prime feature. While many campers are designed to fit only specific bed sizes or vehicle types, the Freedom Camper offers multiple configurations to suit a wide range of trucks and trailers. Whether you drive a midsize pickup like a Toyota Tacoma or Ford Maverick, or a full-size truck like the Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado, there’s a Freedom Camper model that fits your setup.
The 48” x 79” version, for example, is ideal for midsize trucks, while the larger 58” x 89” model—the most popular size—offers more room and fits full-size trucks and 5×8 trailers with ease. And if you’re planning to use a DECKED drawer system or need to accommodate gear in a toy hauler, certain models are designed to work seamlessly with those needs. Each size offers a unique footprint, giving you the freedom (pun intended!) to choose the best fit based on your vehicle and your travel style.
One of the more clever aspects of the Freedom Camper design is its compatibility with both trucks and trailers. It’s not just a slide-in camper or just a teardrop alternative—it’s both. With two mounting kit options available (truck or trailer), you can install it securely on your rig of choice.
And because it weighs just 180–190 pounds, depending on the model, it’s easy to load and unload without the need for expensive lifts or complicated modifications. That makes it a great option for folks who want the freedom to switch between setups. Need to haul your camper in a trailer this weekend, but want it in the truck bed for hunting season? You’ve got options!
Comfort is another area where the Freedom Camper excels—especially for its size and price point. These campers aren’t decked out with unnecessary gadgets or bulky cabinetry. Instead, they focus on what matters most: insulation, space to sleep, and protection from the elements.
Thanks to its proprietary insulation technology, the Freedom Camper keeps temperatures comfortable even in harsh weather conditions. Whether you’re waking up to frost in the Rockies or enduring a summer storm in the desert, the Freedom Camper holds its own. It’s a minimalist, no-frills shelter—but one that’s exceptionally well-designed to provide real four-season comfort.
Every detail of the Freedom Camper reflects the care and experience of the people building it. These aren’t mass-produced overseas units. Each one is crafted in the U.S. by a small team that believes in innovation, durability, and supporting American manufacturing.
From the clean welds to the durable paneling and weather-tight seals, you can see and feel the difference in construction quality. The sleek, aerodynamic shape not only looks great but also helps minimize drag when mounted to your vehicle, giving you better gas mileage and a quieter ride.
Another thoughtful feature is the range of sizes available. Whether you prefer a more compact setup to keep everything inside the bed rails or you need a bit of overhang for extra sleeping space and gear storage, there’s a Freedom Camper to match.
For example, the 58” x 89” model is a favorite among taller people who want to stretch out, while the 48” x 79” version offers just enough room for one or two people to sleep comfortably in a midsize truck. And thanks to a simple, intuitive layout, you can customize the interior however you like—add a mattress, mount some gear racks, or install lighting to suit your needs.
In short, the Freedom Camper is an impressive addition to the world of overlanding and should absolutely be on your radar at the Overland Mountain West Expo. It delivers all the essentials—durability, comfort, adaptability, and four-season capability—without the price tag that usually comes with that kind of performance.
Best of all, this camper offers serious value regardless of whether you’re brand new to overlanding or simply looking for an upgrade to your current setup. Add in the fact that it’s lightweight, easy to install, and proudly made in the USA, and you’ve got a compelling reason to stop by and see it for yourself.
The Freedom Camper proves that smart design and solid craftsmanship don’t have to cost a fortune—and that’s exactly the kind of innovation today’s overlanders need. Stop by Booth C95 Prime at Overland Mountain West to see this awesome rig for yourself!

Cube Series
When you walk the grounds of Overland Expo Mountain West this year, you’ll see countless rigs built to tackle the backcountry. But only one brand blends cutting-edge engineering, garage-friendly design, and EV-ready innovation like Cube Series.
These Oregon-based builders aren’t just making campers and trailers. Instead, they’re rethinking what mobile adventure looks like. And if you want to see the future of overlanding, Cube Series at Booth #C8 CUSTOM should be one of your first stops.
Cube Series’ flagship hard-sided pop-up camper is a masterclass in efficient design. Purpose-built for those who want rugged performance without the bulk, this camper fits entirely inside a standard garage, even while mounted on your truck. That low profile doesn’t mean a lack of comfort, though. When deployed, it offers 78 inches of interior height, full insulation for all-season use, and a layout that includes a 2-burner stove, 18,000 BTU furnace, water heater, and optional cassette toilet.
Installation is refreshingly simple, too. Forget aftermarket turnbuckles and expensive frame-mounted tie-downs. Cube’s bed-mounted anchoring system leverages your truck’s factory tie-downs for quick, secure attachment.
Underneath it all? A lightweight, vacuum-bonded fiberglass and aluminum structure that keeps weight down (starting at just 1,206 lbs) while delivering serious durability. Whether you’re running a mid-size Tacoma or a full-size rig, Cube’s camper is built to go anywhere without holding you back.
Then there’s the Cube Series Trailer. It’s a bold, electrified evolution of what an overland trailer can be.
Sleek and compact in transit (just over 17 feet long), this trailer unfolds via a patent-pending automated wall system into a full-featured mobile suite with an astonishing 7’7” of interior headroom. It’s designed to handle any environment, from freezing Colorado nights to high-desert winds, with vacuum-bonded fiberglass construction, aluminum framing, and heated holding tanks for true four-season capability.
But here’s where things really get interesting: this trailer isn’t just off-grid capable. It’s off-grid dominant. Available with up to 1,140 watts of solar, (2) 360Ah lithium batteries, and a 2,000-watt inverter/charger, it’s designed to keep your adventures powered well beyond the campground. EV owners, take note; you can charge your electric vehicle right from the trailer, too!
Inside, the design is equally impressive. Expect an L-shaped dinette that converts into a spacious sleeper, a complete kitchenette with stove, sink, microwave, and 3 cu ft fridge, and modern finishes like synthetic leather upholstery and thermofoil countertops. There’s also a 25-gallon fresh water system, cassette toilet option, and even a Truma Comfort Plus on-demand hot water upgrade available for those who value next-level comfort.
What makes Cube Series stand out isn’t just the specs. It’s the intentionality behind every feature. From keyless entry to fold-down glow steps with integrated handrails, every element is engineered to make life easier. The windows? Oversized acrylic panels with built-in shades and screens for ventilation and privacy. Even the layout prioritizes livability over just storage and systems.
Stepping inside the Cube Series trailer feels less like entering a rugged towable and more like entering a compact, trail-ready modern home. It’s one of the few setups that genuinely feels livable for extended travel, and it’s towable by a mid-size SUV or pickup. Nice!
If you’re heading to Overland Expo Mountain West, make a point to visit Booth #C8 CUSTOM. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a full-time traveler, or someone looking for a trailer that can keep your EV juiced while you explore the wild, Cube Series deserves your attention.
They’re not just innovating; they’re setting a new standard. And when you step inside one of their builds, you’ll instantly see why Cube Series is one of the can’t-miss brands of the entire show.
Iron Peak Campers
XTR-10
If you’re heading to Overland Expo Mountain West, one of the booths you absolutely can’t miss is Iron Peak Campers (formerly known as Denali Campers) at Booth #A638 PRIME.
Built for explorers who don’t believe in limits, Iron Peak’s XTR Series off-road trailers are redefining what it means to go off the grid. Whether you’re planning a quick weekend escape or a months-long expedition into remote backcountry, these trailers are engineered to be your ultimate companion for wherever the trail leads.
XTR-10
Iron Peak Campers is more than just a trailer manufacturer. They’re a team of adventurers and engineers who understand the needs of modern overlanders. Their XTR Series represents the next generation of rugged, high-performance off-road trailers. From smart design to trail-tested durability, every component of an Iron Peak build screams capability and confidence.
The lineup includes the compact XTR-6 and the spacious XTR-10, both of which pack a serious punch in terms of features, performance, and customization. With high-clearance all-steel chassis, advanced suspension, and rock-solid electrical systems, these trailers are built to tackle unforgiving terrain and make it look easy.
XTR-6
Iron Peak Campers sets itself apart through innovation. Unlike typical squaredrop trailers, the XTR Series is built with all-composite cabins that are lightweight, durable, and completely weather-resistant. Add in precision aluminum components, high-end REDARC electrical systems, and a thoughtful layout inside and out, and you’ve got a camper that performs as beautifully as it looks.
Both the XTR-6 and XTR-10 come equipped with Cruisemaster CRS2 suspension and DO35 hitch couplers for unmatched towing stability. This setup means you can easily navigate rocky trails, sandy backroads, and everything in between. No matter where your adventures take you, these campers offer a smooth, confident ride.
XTR-6
Let’s talk off-grid capability, because Iron Peak Campers doesn’t just stop at rugged. These trailers are equipped to keep you comfortable in the most remote locations. The XTR-6, starting at just 1,550 lbs dry, includes a 30-gallon water tank, a REDARC lithium battery system, a hot water outdoor shower, and a galley kitchen with a dual-zone fridge. It’s compact, efficient, and tailor-made for backcountry adventuring.
Step up to the XTR-10, and you’ll find even more creature comforts: a 38-gallon water tank, Truma propane heater, REDARC 2000W inverter, shower enclosure, upright fridge, and generous storage. With a dry weight of 2,375 lbs and over 22 inches of ground clearance, the XTR-10 proves you can take luxury just about anywhere.
XTR-6
A key part of what makes Iron Peak Campers a standout is their electrical systems. Built with top-tier components from REDARC and Epoch, these systems ensure you’re powered up no matter how far you travel. The RedArc Manager 30 offers full control of charging, load management, and monitoring, and it’s all accessible via Bluetooth or the in-cabin RedVision display. It’s plug-and-play tech for serious off-grid living!
XTR-10
Iron Peak Campers knows that every adventurer has unique needs, which is why they offer an array of upgrade options. Boost battery capacity to 460AH heated lithium, expand solar capabilities, or add premium rooftop tents and awnings. You can even opt for MOLLE gear racks, air compressors, or interior layout modifications to make your trailer truly your own.
Want to prioritize cabin space over kitchen gear? Delete the galley or water system. Need more solar for extended stays? There’s a package for that. Iron Peak’s approach is modular, thoughtful, and entirely built around you.
Reading about Iron Peak Campers is one thing — seeing them in person is another. At Overland Expo Mountain West, you’ll have the chance to explore these builds up close, meet the team behind the innovation, and ask questions about tailoring a trailer for your own adventures.
If you’re in the market for a serious off-road trailer, or just want to experience what the future of overlanding looks like, don’t miss Iron Peak Campers at Booth #A638 PRIME. Your next adventure starts here!

Boss Lighting
There will be a lot of booths at Overland Expo Mountain West, but one that certainly needs to be at the top of your list is Boss Lighting at Booth #A313 PRIME. This isn’t just another lighting company tossing out imported components with inflated promises. Boss Lighting is redefining what lighting means for overlanders, off-roaders, and anyone who demands real-world performance in punishing environments.
Boss Lighting doesn’t chase trends—it creates them. Every product they offer is designed, engineered, and manufactured right here in the United States. From the CNC-machined 6061 aluminum housings to the high-quality, industry-leading finishes, you’ll find American craftsmanship in every detail.
What does that mean for you? Well, it means when you’re battling mud, snow, or desert dust late at night, your lights will work flawlessly. Boss Lighting products are created by people who know what it’s like to rely on gear that has to work, no matter the conditions. These lights aren’t just tools; they’re mission-critical gear for serious explorers.
Boss Lighting lives by that mantra, and they mean it. Their patented Flow-Through Cooling Technology is a game-changer, allowing their lights to run brighter, longer, and more efficiently, even in scorching environments or under heavy load. While other lights dim or burn out under stress, Boss Lighting keeps going; cool, consistent, and powerful.
Whether you’re crawling up a rocky incline under the moonlight or pulling into camp long after dark, this is the level of reliability that makes a difference. It’s one of the key reasons why professionals in marine, tactical, and industrial sectors trust Boss Lighting, and why overlanders should, too.
One of the best features that truly sets Boss Lighting apart is its fully dimmable LED systems. You don’t always need full blast. Sometimes you just want a low-glow around camp, or a bit of visibility while preserving your night vision. Boss Lighting gives you the power to dial in the right brightness for every scenario. This isn’t some gimmick, either. It’s real-world functionality that makes your setup more versatile and more enjoyable to use.
At its core, Boss Lighting is a company rooted in values: innovation, craftsmanship, and a relentless drive to build the best. They’re not racing to the bottom on price; they’re pushing the top on performance. They’re not importing bulk parts, either. Instead, they’re machining them with precision. And they’re not just building for looks; they’re engineering for real-life demands.
That’s why their systems don’t just compete, they dominate. With a legacy tied to Sunbrite Solutions and the powerhouse support of Manufacturing Corporation of America, Boss Lighting is combining decades of experience with modern, cutting-edge innovation.
At Overland Expo Mountain West, Booth #A313 PRIME is where you’ll find the future of off-road lighting. You’ll get to see the new Premium, Slim, and Excel Series lights up close, all of which are designed with the same no-compromise ethos that defines the brand.
Talk to the people who built them. Ask questions. Feel the difference in the materials. This is your chance to connect directly with a company that’s committed to making gear you can count on, not just for this weekend’s trip, but for years of adventures to come.
In a sea of off-the-shelf options and imported imitations, Boss Lighting is raising the bar and doing it the American way. If you care about build quality, innovative engineering, true dimmable control, and rugged durability backed by real-world testing, this is the brand you need to experience in person.
Don’t miss them at Booth #A313 PRIME. Boss Lighting isn’t just making lights, they’re owning the night. And when you visit their booth, you’ll see exactly how they’re doing it!

Alaskan Campers
Alaskan Campers has earned a spot on every serious overlander’s radar, and for good reason…
Founded in 1957 by World War II veteran Don Hall and his wife Irene, the brand’s origin story is as rugged and inspiring as the campers themselves. After a challenging adventure in the Alaskan wilderness—and armed only with a box of matches—the Halls set out to design a camper that could combine the comfort of home with the mobility required for true outdoor exploration.
By 1958, their innovative “telescopic camper” had hit the market, establishing Alaskan Campers as a pioneer in hard-sided, pop-up truck campers. Decades later, the company continues to uphold this legacy, offering campers that are both highly functional and built to endure the harshest conditions.
When you visit the Overland Mountain West Expo, you will immediately notice why Alaskan Campers has become synonymous with durability and craftsmanship. Each camper is constructed by long-term, highly skilled artisans who bring decades of expertise to every build.
Their hard-sided, pop-up system, for example, is designed to withstand rugged adventures, providing superior insulation and climate control. With R11 in the walls and R13 on the ceiling, these campers remain comfortable whether in sub-zero temperatures or under the blazing sun.
The hydraulic telescopic system sets Alaskan apart, too, allowing effortless raising and lowering at the push of a button. This combination of rugged strength, innovative engineering, and ease-of-use gives overlanders like you and me the freedom to explore without compromise, whether for weekend getaways or extended off-grid expeditions.
Alaskan Campers also shine in customization and interior design, offering multiple interior packages tailored to a range of tastes and needs.
The Classic package evokes the brand’s adventurous roots with a maple beadboard ceiling, solid natural maple walls, and a cozy queen mattress, all crafted for durability. Meanwhile, the Sitka interior blends rugged construction with modern style, featuring slate chenille mattresses and faux leather banquettes in a visually appealing yet hardy setup.
The Klondike package takes comfort further, offering golden wood-grain walls and plush chenille bedding designed to withstand tough conditions while creating a welcoming retreat. With options like these, every Alaskan camper can be personalized to reflect the owner’s style while delivering the functionality and resilience that serious adventurers demand.
Heading into the future, Alaskan Campers continues to innovate while staying true to the brand’s adventurous spirit. Upgraded production facilities and new leadership ensure that the company can expand customization options and introduce new finishes without sacrificing quality. This commitment to evolving the brand while honoring its roots makes Alaskan Campers a standout presence at any overlanding event.
At Overland Mountain West Expo, you can expect to see firsthand why Alaskan Campers consistently ranks among the best truck bed campers on the market: a perfect balance of rugged durability, thoughtful design, and the kind of comfort that turns every outdoor journey into an unforgettable adventure. Check them out at Booth #B608!

Big Slack Off-Road
If you’re planning your route through Overland Mountain West Expo, make sure Big Slack Off-Road is at the top of your list…
These aren’t newcomers chasing trends—they’re seasoned adventurers who have been pushing trucks, ATVs, and side-by-sides to their limits long before rooftop tents and overlanding hashtags became a thing. That hands-on experience shows in every detail of their trailers, from the flagship Slacklander Overland Trailer to the compact Slack Wagon and Slack Wagon Junior. Each rig is designed by people who’ve lived the challenges of off-road exploration and decided they could build something better.
What sets Big Slack Off-Road apart is their commitment to creating trailers that thrive in the backcountry. The Slacklander, for example, weighs just 1,500 pounds empty, making it towable by most midsize SUVs, Jeeps, and even some crossovers, yet it still carries up to 1,000 pounds of payload. Its 6-inch channel steel frame and 2,200-pound Timbren axle system provide rock-solid durability and smooth handling over the roughest terrain.
Every inch of the Slacklander is thoughtfully designed, from the massive front drawer that can house a 12V fridge or coolers to the rear hatch kitchen that keeps cooking simple and organized, even on rainy mornings or rugged campsites. High-quality LED lighting, rock lights, and over-cam latches add practicality and safety, while four recovery points ensure you’re prepared for anything the trail throws your way.
Big Slack Off-Road doesn’t just excel in function, either. Instead, they nail versatility and customization, too.
The Slacklander can accommodate a rooftop tent, turning it into a nimble, fully equipped basecamp. The Slack Wagon offers a larger bed and a 3,500-pound Timbren axleless suspension with electric brakes, making it a serious option for longer expeditions or heavy loads. Lightweight yet robust, it comes with multiple tie-down points, optional racks, and custom powder-coat finishes.
Meanwhile, the Slack Wagon Junior proves that size isn’t everything: this compact trailer is easy to maneuver on tight trails but still carries a solid payload with its premium suspension and clever swing-down tailgate. Optional racks and add-ons turn it into a versatile, multipurpose adventure tool, perfect for side-by-sides, ATVs, or minimalist overlanding setups.
What truly makes Big Slack Off-Road a must-see at the expo is that these trailers were born from real-world experience, not marketing hype. The team behind them has tested every weld, latch, and suspension component on the trails themselves, learning firsthand what works—and what doesn’t. The result is gear that doesn’t just look tough—it is tough. Every trailer is a practical, thoughtfully engineered solution for adventurers who demand reliability, efficiency, and flexibility in the backcountry.
Swing by Booth A436 at Overland Mountain West Expo and see for yourself. Climb on the fenders, open the drawers, and check out the kitchens and storage systems. You’ll quickly understand why Big Slack Off-Road isn’t just another trailer company; they’re building tools for real-world overlanding, and missing them would mean missing some of the smartest, most capable trailers on the market today!

When it comes to innovative, high-performance off-road trailers, Escapod consistently earns a top spot on any “best-of” list—and for good reason. Heading to Overland Mountain West Expo? Make sure to stop by Booth A644 to see their remarkable TOPO2 lineup!
These trailers aren’t just rugged—they’re thoughtfully engineered to handle extreme terrain while providing comfort and convenience for year-round adventures. Built with a lightweight, single-piece fiberglass body, the TOPO2 blends durability, functionality, and sleek design, creating a camper that’s ready for the most demanding backcountry conditions.
At the heart of Escapod’s appeal is the TOPO2’s innovative construction. The single-piece composite fiberglass body eliminates weak points, ensuring impact resistance, weatherproofing, and long-term durability without the bulk of traditional trailer frames.
Each TOPO2 features the Freeride Suspension System, with five inches of independent travel per side, engineered specifically for off-road stability and control. Whether you’re navigating rocky climbs, washboard trails, or steep descents, this suspension keeps the trailer level and responsive.
Add to that 23 inches of ground clearance, high-quality off-road tires, and rugged metal fenders, and it’s clear that the TOPO2 is designed to conquer the toughest terrain while keeping your gear safe and secure.
The TOPO2 isn’t just about performance, either. It’s also about comfort…
Fully insulated with an R9 rating, it’s built for all-season use, with internal mechanicals and the Aqua-Hot system providing heating and cooling so you can camp comfortably from winter snow to summer heat.
Inside, every detail reflects Escapod’s commitment to thoughtful design: panoramic skylights, efficient ventilation, and cleverly arranged storage make the most of the space while maintaining a cozy, functional interior. Whether sipping coffee at sunrise or unwinding after a long day on the trail, the TOPO2 creates a retreat that’s both practical and inviting.
Escapod offers three TOPO2 trim levels to match different adventure styles and needs. The Nomad is the perfect entry point for serious overlanders, delivering all the core features—insulation, Freeride suspension, and year-round capability—without excess frills.
For those seeking a balance of performance and upgraded comfort, the Voyager adds enhanced interior finishes, additional storage options, and thoughtful conveniences that make extended trips even more enjoyable.
At the top of the lineup, the Special Edition MTB is built for the mountain biking enthusiast or extreme adventurer, featuring full suspension capability, reinforced racks for bikes or gear, and premium finishes that blend style and rugged functionality. Regardless of trim, though, each TOPO2 shares the same durable, lightweight fiberglass shell and innovative engineering that make Escapod trailers stand out.
Every TOPO2 is proudly built in Coalville, Utah, with components sourced largely from U.S.-based suppliers and custom-fabricated in-house using advanced tools like 3D printing. Backed by an industry-leading five-year warranty, these trailers provide peace of mind along with unmatched reliability.
At Overland Mountain West Expo, seeing the TOPO2 lineup up close is a must at Booth A644. These trailers represent the perfect fusion of comfort, capability, and innovation for serious overlanders ready to tackle any trail.

Sparks Overland
If you demand both innovation and reliability, Sparks Overland has become a go-to name in expedition gear. Founded by Ross and Lindsey Sparks after relocating from Georgia to Fort Collins, Colorado, the company started as a simple rental service for their personal off-road trailer but quickly evolved into a full-fledged brand focused on quality overlanding solutions.
Today, Sparks Overland specializes in expertly crafted rooftop tents and diesel and gas heaters. These products elevate any camping experience while emphasizing durability, ease of use, and thoughtful engineering.
One of their best products, in my opinion, is the Atlas tent (shown above). It’s by far one of the best hard-sided rooftop tents I’ve ever tested. Building on that success, Sparks Overland has expanded their lineup with the Stronghold XL and Outpost Wedge, both designed for serious adventurers who want comfort and performance in a lightweight, off-road-ready package.
The Stronghold XL is an all-season rooftop cabin featuring a fully insulated, weather-sealed carbon-fiber shell. Its electric lift system allows campers to set up in seconds with the push of a button, while the strategic bottom-entry hatch keeps warmth in and debris out. With 82” x 55” of sleeping space and 39” of interior height, it comfortably accommodates two adults and a child, making it perfect for families or small groups.
Built for extreme conditions, the Stronghold XL combines strength, thermal efficiency, and user-friendly features like off-grid power compatibility, secure push-button locking, and durable FRP and PET core materials. And if the XL is too big, the Stronghold might be up your alley.
The Outpost Wedge takes ultralight design to the next level, perfect for stealth van builds or roofline-conscious setups. At just nine inches tall when closed, it stays low-profile until you need it. It offers dual-access entry and a thoughtfully insulated interior. Aerospace-grade materials, integrated power systems, and premium finishes make this tent both strong and luxurious, with a climate-control-ready design that allows future integration of heating or air conditioning.
Both tents reflect Sparks Overland’s commitment to innovation, durability, and the needs of explorers who spend extended time in challenging environments.
Beyond tents, Sparks Overland is also known for its 4KW gas and diesel heaters, products that demonstrate the company’s dedication to engineering excellence. Designed and handcrafted in the USA, the diesel heater provides fast, efficient, and safe warmth for off-grid adventures.
With an integrated onboard computer, it automatically adjusts fuel consumption for altitudes up to 18,500 feet, while Bluetooth connectivity allows remote control from up to 100 feet away. Every component—from the stainless steel fuel tank to the Japanese glow plug—is selected for durability and performance, making the Sparks Overland heater a trusted companion for year-round overlanding.
Whether you’re exploring remote mountain passes, camping in extreme weather, or building a fully self-sufficient overland rig, Sparks Overland offers products that combine thoughtful design, innovation, and real-world functionality.
From the Atlas tent to the Stronghold XL, Outpost Wedge, and their 4KW diesel heater, every offering is crafted to enhance the adventure while ensuring reliability, safety, and comfort.

What sets TRUKD apart is that every product is conceived from firsthand experience. The team doesn’t sit in a boardroom—they’re out on the trails, under the hoods of their trucks, and putting gear through the toughest conditions imaginable.
This hands-on approach ensures that every bed rack, traction board mount, MOLLE panel, and kayak carrier is not only practical but also rugged and reliable. Before any piece reaches customers, it’s tested in the field, refined in the shop, and held to the standard of real-world use. If it doesn’t perform out there, it doesn’t make it to your vehicle.
TRUKD is proudly made in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a focus on supporting local talent and American craftsmanship. While outsourcing might be cheaper and faster, the team at TRUKD believes in keeping production close to home. Every weld, cut, and finish is done in-house, giving each product unmatched quality and durability. Supporting TRUKD means supporting American jobs and a legacy of grit, skill, and dedication that’s built into every piece of gear.
Beyond exceptional build quality, TRUKD stands out for industry-leading customer support. When you reach out, you’re not getting a scripted response or a chatbot—you’re talking to people who know the gear because they use it themselves. Whether you need help selecting the right setup, installing accessories, or troubleshooting in the field, the TRUKD team provides fast, practical, and honest solutions.
These folks don’t just sell gear—they stand behind it. If something isn’t right, they make it right. That level of dedication creates a community of overlanders who trust and rely on TRUKD products on every adventure.
The product lineup reflects the team’s philosophy: simple, durable, and purpose-built. TRUKD offers a wide range of bed racks and modular accessories, including traction board mounts, MOLLE panels, kayak carriers, and other versatile solutions. Each component is designed to maximize functionality without sacrificing durability or ease of use. Whether you’re carrying recovery gear, outdoor equipment, or recreational toys, TRUKD provides the tools to organize, secure, and access your gear efficiently, even in the harshest environments.
Ultimately, TRUKD is more than just a brand—it’s a team of adventurers who live and breathe off-road and outdoor life. Their commitment to quality, American manufacturing, and real-world testing ensures that every product performs when it counts.

Hest
There’s one goal that often gets overlooked when overland: a truly restful night’s sleep in the wild. At this year’s Overland Mountain West Expo, HEST is bringing their game-changing sleep solutions to Booth B125, showing how thoughtful design can transform your outdoor rest.
HEST isn’t just another outdoor mattress company—they’re on a mission to solve one of the most common problems in camping: waking up stiff, sore, or unrested. The founders realized that while gear, trucks, and tents often get the spotlight, quality sleep is the cornerstone of any adventure. From rooftop tents to truck beds to backcountry hammocks, HEST crafts products that deliver the comfort of home in even the most rugged settings.
What sets HEST apart is their meticulous, purpose-driven design process. Every layer, every contour, and every material is selected with the realities of overlanding in mind.
Their flagship HEST Foamy, for example, combines dual-layer memory foam with an impressive R-value of 8.8, giving campers the support, cushioning, and insulation they need for mountain nights, desert starlit camps, or cold-weather excursions. The Foamy’s integrated compression harness doubles as a welcome mat, while side clips allow two mattresses to join seamlessly—perfect for couples or families sharing a rooftop tent or truck bed.
Comfort is only part of the story. HEST gear is loaded with travel-friendly features that make outdoor life easier. Washable covers, carry loops, and weather-resistant materials ensure your sleep system is as durable as it is comfortable. Their Camp Pillow offers adjustable loft, a supportive memory foam blend, and a rugged PU-coated cover, providing rest that adapts to your adventure style.
HEST’s focus on recovery and rest fills a unique niche in the overlanding world. While many companies showcase trucks, tents, or recovery gear, HEST reminds us that a great day on the trail starts with a great night of sleep. After long rides, hikes, or backcountry explorations, quality rest is what powers your next adventure.
At Overland Mountain West Expo, stop by Booth B125 to see, touch, and test HEST’s innovative sleep solutions. Whether you’re outfitting a new rooftop tent, upgrading your truck bed setup, or just looking to improve backcountry comfort, HEST demonstrates how thoughtful engineering can make a tangible difference in your outdoor experience. Don’t overlook the power of sleep—HEST ensures that when the trail calls, you’re ready!
