OVERLAND ADVENTURE PLANNING
Planning, logistics, packing… Preparing for any adventure can sometimes feel stressful. Without the right support and resources, planning for an overland adventure can be downright daunting. Colorado Overlander is here to take the guesswork out of every step by providing you the support and knowledge you need to make this overlanding adventure truly unforgettable. Let’s get started.
YOUR GATEWAY TO OVERLANDING
VEHICLE BUILDS & PACKAGE
When selecting a vehicle, we recommend considering the following:
- How many people will be traveling in the vehicle?
(Consider seating, sleeping arrangements, and gear storage.) - What type of driving/trails are you expecting to encounter?
(Think about vehicle width, clearance, and off-road capabilities.) - What are your top priorities?
(Focus on factors like vehicle range, storage capacity, and comfort.)
SLEEP & CAMP SYSTEM
Each vehicle comes equipped with a rooftop tent and the camping gear shown below (Note – Camping Gear Not Included In Voyager Level). When factoring in weight, packability, and reliability, we don’t think you will be able to find a better overland setup anywhere.
