Rooftoptents.ca Launches New Brand, Kermode Overlanding, to Expand Its Overlanding and Camping Gear Offering
Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, Canada – Rooftoptents.ca, a leading provider of premium rooftop tents and awnings, is thrilled to announce the launch of its new brand, Kermode Overlanding. This launch marks a significant expansion in the company’s offerings, introducing over 70 new products tailored for the overlanding and camping enthusiast. Kermode Overlanding brings a hand-crafted selection of quality products from trusted manufacturers, perfect for those looking to explore the great outdoors and embark on off-road adventures.
Founded in 2012 by Chris Cathers as Van Ventures Rentals, the company initially offered a fleet of camperized mini vans for rent, serving tourists and holiday goers traveling across British Columbia. Despite the success, the rental business was time-consuming, leaving little opportunity for Chris to enjoy the west coast’s stunning landscapes with his family and friends. This led to a strategic pivot towards the retail of rooftop tents and awnings under Rooftoptents.ca, which saw significant growth, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people turned to travel and camping as safe leisure activities.
In 2023, with years of experience and a deep understanding of the camping and overlanding market, Chris Cathers decided to take his business to the next level by launching Kermode Overlanding. The new brand is the culmination of extensive research and the establishment of relationships with high-quality camping and overlanding manufacturers. Kermode Overlanding is dedicated to offering products that enhance the outdoor experience for adventurers and explorers, ensuring comfort, convenience, and reliability.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce Kermode Overlanding to our customers and the overlanding community,” said Chris Cathers, founder of Rooftoptents.ca and Kermode Overlanding. “This brand represents not just an expansion of our product line but also our commitment to providing the best overlanding and camping gear that meets the needs of our adventurous customers. We’ve selected each product with care, focusing on quality, innovation, and the spirit of adventure that drives us all.”
