On session 5 of the Overland Roundtable, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the various camp setups that are popular amongst overland travelers. The rooftop tend is a trendy, and expensive, accessory but it may not be right for you.  The ground tent is widely accessible but has some characteristics that may not be well suited a long trips or wet environments.  We had the pleasure of having Matt Henwood from Main Line Overland join us to discuss his expertise with Four Wheel pop-up campers.  Four Wheel Campers slide into a pickup bed and transform your truck into an offroad ready camper with all the creature comforts you can imagine.    Guest Panelist: Matt Henwood from Main Line Overland Matt Henwood serves as MLO's President, and has a deep passion for overlanding since it blends two loves: motor sports and the great outdoors.

Expeditions in various modes of travel include: Utah, Colorado, Vermont, Maine, Alaska, British Columbia, Vancouver Island, Alberta, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Iceland, Europe, and South Africa.
