Overlanding is becoming a more and more popular way to explore the vast wild landscapes of Canada. By overlanding with a Roof Top Tent, you can bring your accommodation wherever you go with minimal setup and take-down time. This means you can spend less time building your camp each night and more time enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
The main attraction of any overlanding trip is the journey itself, as you get to make the adventure however you like. Your itinerary is up to you, and by overlanding with a Roof Top Tent you have the flexibility to go wherever your vehicle can. While often confused with off-road travel on rugged terrain, overlanding uses established roads to explore a wide variety of destinations.Â
Nature is the new therapy, and it’s cheaper too
Sometimes a change is as good as a rest – and overlanding provides plenty of opportunities to explore new places. Overlanding also enables travellers to get closer to nature while still enjoying comfortable accommodation in a Roof Top Tent. You can make a base camp for a few days or weeks in a place you especially enjoy, or you can hit the road each day to somewhere new – as with almost everything to do with overlanding, the choice is yours. Â
Living on your own schedule
Booking flights and accommodations is well, a bit of a nightmare these days. With COVID-19 changing the rules every day and flights getting delayed and canceled altogether, who needs the headache? With overlanding, you can take off at a moment’s notice with your gear and be in the great outdoors in hours, without any fuss or worry.
Go wherever the road takes you
Slow travel is the new trend. Road trips offer the opportunity to stop wherever and whenever you choose. You are the driver of your vehicle and you have your roof top tent with you. You can choose to sleep wherever you wish to stop and rest your sleepy head.
Besides, overlanders can stop at lakes, picnic areas, hiking trails, and so much more all along the road. No one is preventing you from exploring every second-hand shop and amazing viewpoint you come across. This shapes wonderful adventures and memories as you go.
Less is more
As opposed to bringing a whole load of unnecessary equipment, overlanding encourages you to let go of excess baggage. All that most overlanders need is a hard-shell roof top tent, roof rack, side awning, vehicle, sleeping bag, frying pan, mug, food and perhaps a good book, and nature takes care of the rest. Many of us have already learned from the excesses of previous generations that the simple life is often the better life.Â
Our Auto Awnings are also very useful for overlanders thanks to their versatility, ease of use and sturdy construction. Extending out from from your vehicle, our Auto Awnings give you a covered area to stay dry during the rain and provide shade from the sun. Our Auto Awnings also save you from having to set up tarps from a nearby tree, saving you time and hassle and opening up new places to set up – and you don’t have to worry about your awning blowing away in a light breeze! Our Auto Awnings provide an easier, more reliable, and more convenient way to give you a dry place to keep your gear when out hunting.
