Living Full-Time In An OVRLND Truck Camper
I've been living in the OVRLND camper full-time for nearly 5 months now. It's a lifestyle that keeps material possessions to a minimum but has high returns on changing scenery and time outdoors. However, in the last few weeks I found myself frequenting places I'd already been to. In an effort to shake it up I found a lake on the map that was totally new to me and decided to give it a shot.

OVRLND Camper Review
In hopes that it might help someone out there, I’d like to put down a description of the aluminum box on my truck and how it came to be. The truth is - I was pretty neurotic for a time; I spent hours upon hours researching and weighing the pros and cons every vehicle dwelling option I could find. Everything from slide-ins to vans and travel trailers. I compared intricacies like fuel economy, use cases, pricing, weight, and payloads. I made detailed packing lists outlining non negotiables, nice to haves, and luxuries. There were spreadsheets and notes and frankly too many restless nights for something that should’ve been an enjoyable process. It got a little out of hand.
