I asked a question on here the other day and have not received a response. Maybe I did not ask it right. I am going to be putting together an Overland vehicle and doing a road trip to Alaska within the next couple of years. I went Jeep shopping yesterday to look at vehicles to build off of. I was wondering if anyone on this forum does this. It has been huge in Australia and Africa for years and is starting to blossom here lately. It involves either a 4x4 RV or a Jeep, SUV or truck modified as a self contained camper with pop-up roof tents, kitchens, refrigerators and freezers, etc. modified for off road and trail travel. In Australia and Africa the roof top tent makes sense because it gets you off the ground and away from snakes, spiders and scorpions in Australia and the predators such as lions and such in Africa. It also seems like a great way to explore, hunt and fish amongst all the unimproved forestry roads in the Southern Appalachians and beyond. If anyone on this forum does this I would love to hear about the modifications you have done, what has worked great and those that have worked not so great....If you are unfamiliar with this concept, google Overland Camping and Overland vehicles. I really am surprised it hasn't caught on big down here.
