I recently picked up a 5kw diesel "parking heater" off Amazon for about 110 bucks. It's a "made in China" copy of the Webasto or Espar-type heaters. It requires a 12v power supply and diesel fuel to run. I bought one of the all-in-one units that comes pre-assembled in a small box. All it needed...

The other day, I built what I would call a low-tech cooler slide. I wanted something to lift my cooler a little bit for shoe storage underneath and make it match the height of the bench/box. It’s a pretty simple design. The cooler attaches to a sled which slides on a base. It’s mostly built...

I can second OVRLND Campers. I have one and it's been great. What kind of truck do you have? I believe OVRLND is one of the few that truly takes advantage of large bed trucks. The bigger the bed, the bigger the popped portion of the camper-- on some other designs, this isn't the case. The result...

Finally got around to taking a quick video of the removal/install process of the interior storage. Removal is fairly quick by just removing 6 bolts. Installation takes a little longer to line up the holes and use a hand screwdriver. I found out the hard way that it’s not a good idea to install...

Good to hear there are more Colorados in the OVRLND lineup! You have a good eye. You're right about everything you noticed. We added 2 inches of height, and also had it sized to fit a gen 3 Tacoma (for resale purposes). This makes our whole rig a few inches taller vs if you went with standard...

I used these from Super Bright LEDs in the Natural White (4000k) (https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/porch-and-awning-lights-for-rvs-and-campers/5-rv-led-flood-light-porch-and-utility-light-700-lumen-12v/5568/12478/) I didn't wire them to be controlled from within the cab. That would be...

Recent new additions on the camper: bug screens and some lighting. I ordered a magnetic bug screen from Amazon (magzo brand) that is meant for French doors on a house. The screen was 60x80 inches, which was perfect because I needed a 60 inch width. Just needed to trim the bottom to fit. It has...

Just got back from a couple nights with some friends at a chilly PNW beach. Super smoky from the recent wildfires. Sadly I forgot to take any rig pics while we were out. While we were unpacking, I remembered to take a photo of the area you were wondering about. After standing there, I think it...

Thanks! I'm still an amateur when it comes to woodworking. It's been fun though! Given your needs, I think a larger truck with a bigger bed would definitely be beneficial. With our 5'2" bed we have about 20 inches from the end of the bed platform to the rear wall. It's enough to stand, climb up...

Quick question: where did you get the black plastic you used as the electric panel backing?

Just checked it out. Love the color scheme! And looks like a great start to the solar/electrical setup. Happy to see another OVRLND on a Colorado, even better that it’s a ZR2.

Nice! What did you do for solar? Got any photos?

Same. Don't remember how much but they had a bunch of them on Sunday.

I’m not quite sure how tall the F150 one is but if you still had 4 inches of room even with drawers, that would be really cool. I agree that flat surface above the wheel wells would be really nice. My main motivation is that we just got a second dog so things are going to be a little tight in...

Awesome! That’s exciting. You going to the shop to pick it up? That’s funny you mention the drawers. I have been thinking about that recently as a way to open up some extra floor space. The main downside I could see is that you would lose a lot of headroom (unless you had them add extra...

Hi, I'm relatively new to Expedition Portal. I came across a few other OVRLND build threads on this site and thought this would be a good place to share/document my build. Other OVRLND owners have been super helpful in bouncing around ideas and sharing their experiences. Most of this has been...

Really like the way the headliner turned out. Do you have some more details about how you did that? What material did you use and how did you get it to stick? Also, do you have some close up photos of how you finished the edges? Thanks! - Patrick
