In this episode of @thevanlife, I walk through the Overland Expo West 2024 event in Flagstaff, AZ (May 16–18), catching up with the brands and companies that helped make my custom van build possible.
From electrical systems and AC units to racks, tires, and even inflatable bedding — this video gives you a firsthand look at the gear I use and love, how it’s holding up, and what’s new in the overlanding world.
(I will be moving a lot of the videos from my other channel over here over time.)
