About Us
Two Friends. One Long Road.
We’re Off Road Tents — a small, obsessive team of overlanders building the kind of shop we always wished existed. Honest gear advice, only the brands we’d run ourselves, and people who actually pick up the phone.
How It All Started
It started in 2016, on a dusty road somewhere in Australia.
Two best friends flew into Perth with one goal: drive across the country. Beaches on the southwest coast, pink lakes, kangaroos under the sun, then 800 miles straight across the Nullarbor Plain — one of the longest empty roads on Earth. The kind of trip you only half-believe you’re actually doing.
We slept in a rooftop tent for the first time on that drive — a TJM we picked up with the car. Up in five minutes at sunset, down in five at sunrise, anywhere from the Great Ocean Road to a random parking lot in the Outback. We’d already traveled together through Mexico, Norway, Costa Rica, and the Himalayas, plus a campervan run through New Zealand the year before. After Australia, the comparison wasn’t even close. Rooftop tents won.
By the time we got home, Off Road Tents was already taking shape. The mission was simple: bring the gear that transformed our own travels to fellow overlanders back in the States.
Nearly a decade later, we’ve tested kit in Colorado, Utah, Maine, Arizona, California, Florida — anywhere the road would take us. We’ve stood at every Overland Expo we could get to, trading stories with brands and customers alike. The lessons keep coming, and we keep listening.
We’re still those two friends chasing what’s around the next bend. The shop is just how we share it with you.
