CAMPING RVing

BUYERS’ GUIDE &

Go Overland Canada Inc.

Many of us dream of owning a converted van and road tripping across Canada and down south, but the reality is that this may not be very practical. The solution? Buy a couple of crossbars for your vehicle and mount a rooftop tent on!

Go Overland Canada Inc. is a Canadian owned and operated rooftop tent brand based in Ontario. They specialize in making durable, four-season rooftop tents that are made of honeycomb aluminum and can mount onto any vehicle.

A rooftop tent is not just a practical alternative, it’s also a comfortable place to sleep, being elevated from the elements. The tents are waterproof and can withstand the cold, with the winter liner, versus a traditional ground tent.

Go Overland Canada’s most popular mod-

Explorer RV Club

The Explorer RV Club is the largest Canadian National RV club serving all RVers. You’ll find a sense of shared experiences and a feeling of camaraderie and national pride when you join fellow Club members at one of our Rally events or our online community.

Longtime Explorer RV Club members Sieg and Sue Standke discovered these and many other benefits of RVing years ago, when they started their ‘journey(s) of a lifetime’ with a pop-up in 1977. This first step led to our club today!

Wherever your sights are set, whether it’s Canada, the United States or Mexico, an optional (but highly recommended) add-on Emergency Roadside Service plan covers every kilometre of your journey 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. It’s designed to get you, and your rig, back on the road in good shape as soon as possible. This is the kind of plan you need when you’re in a pinch, that gives you peace of mind while being affordable at the same time.

Multiple RV clubs exist on the market, but few have worked as hard or as long to keep building and adding value for members as the fellow adventure lovers and RV enthusiasts at the Explorer RV Club. Community is el is a wedge style tent, which takes a mere 30 seconds to open and set up, and less than 60 seconds to close down. This means getting to a campsite late at night isn’t such a hassle anymore. The model is called the Journey X.

Their largest rooftop tent is the Xpedition XL, which can sleep three adults, or even four. This is the most popular model for families, especially for parents with children. If you like to sleep in the complete dark, these tents are great for that since the canvas is always our primary focus, but we also want to offer value!

Explorer RV Club offers extensive discounts to products and services through the Edvantage program as well as up to 10 percent off Wayfarer Insurance.

Are you someone who craves the thrill of adventure that you can only find on the open black-out once the windows are closed.

All Go Overland Canada rooftop tents include ladder, memory foam mattress, universal mounting hardware, anti condensation mat, shoe bag, detachable cold weather liner, and roof racks that mount on the top of the tent.
