TRUCK BED CAMPING & OVERLANDING: A NEW WAY TO EXPLORE

Truck Bed Pop-Up Camper vs. Bed Tent [[2793]]

When it comes to truck bed camping you certainly have options. Here are a couple:

Pop-up Campers

These off-grid campers, also known as fold-out campers or tent trailers, can even be outfitted with beds, kitchens, bathrooms, heating and even hot water. These campers typically offer less space inside, making them an ideal option for a single person or even a couple.

Bed Tent

An elevated truck bed tent is typically less expensive than a conventional truck bed camping canopy; it’s much lighter and much easier to remove when converting back to a regular old pickup. It is, however, less secure than a conventional truck bed shell cap and less weather resistant.

Got the Right Truck and Camper? Here’s More to Consider:

Storage

If you want electricity, you’ll need a dependable power inverter that can transform the DC electricity stored in batteries into standard household AC power.

What Is Overlanding?

Overlanding is a self-reliant adventure to remote destinations where it truly is all about the journey.  It doesn’t involve hotels, motels or bed and breakfast inns. It’s just you and your vehicle — where you eat, sleep and live. It’s all about exploration with the end goal of seeing and learning about our world.

Outfitting Your Truck for Overlanding [[2793]]

You may want to then consider a few additions to make your TITAN®, TITAN XD® or Frontier even more overland-ready

Tires:

Quality off-road tires are a must. They provide better traction through sand, dirt, mud and snow. Plus, off-road tires are designed with stronger sidewalls and shoulder sections, so you can let some air out to get more traction and not worry about ruining the tire.

Front Bumper:

If you plan on traversing harsher trails or driving in the sand, mud or snow, it can make a difference. Here’s why. First, a bumper increases your truck’s approach angle, so you can climb steep hills without rubbing against the ground. And secondly, an after-market bumper provides more protection when driving over rocks.
