Overland With The Independent Adventure Truck
By: Gregory Hudson
Transcontinental journeys are no mean feat, you need a sturdy; trustworthy
companion. Not just any auxiliary travel buddy, but a solid, dependable vehicle.
When it comes to choosing that vehicle, nothing beats an Overland Expedition
Truck, Here's why...
Some of the key features of an Overland Expedition Vehicle:
Completing successful African and Middle Eastern tours in extreme conditions
requires a vehicle with grit. Overland trucks provide just that. They're built
for one purpose and that's getting you there.
Overland vehicles are not just tough - a big part of the journey is also the
enjoyment provided by the truck's large windows, helping you capture those
lasting impressions of unexplored territory.
The best overland trucks always provide one unique vantage point in particular,
known as “The Beach”, but that we will discuss this shortly.
Before a journey begins, it is essential that the vehicle visit the workshop
every three months and go for extensive services prior to the trip. During the
trip preventative maintenance also needs to be carried out by a qualified
driver.
What makes overland travel in a purpose-built truck so much fun?
All trucks are equipped with:
Inward-facing coach seats with head rests that are specifically designed to
provide more storage space for your souvenirs, greater luggage capacity for you
and a lot of room for your legs, allowing you to stretch out on longer overland
journeys.
This may mean fewer passengers on a trip than there would be with a 'bus' layout
with narrow aisles, but the extra space is always appreciated!
The previously mentioned feature is “The Beach” and it's the undisputed
highlight of the Overland Vehicle. It enables several people to sit on the roof
while giving them the thrill of a 360° panoramic view. To be up and out in the
open on an African or Middle Eastern tour is the closest you'll ever get to
dreaming with your eyes wide open.
Other features you'll notice while rambling through desert climates and over the
African savannah:
The convenient under-seat storage spaces that are excellent for storing your
backpack and providing easy access, even while driving.
Side and rear roll-up windows, (if you're having a bad hair day) provide
extensive views from inside the vehicle and can be rolled down for protection in
case of an emergency. Holiday snaps are so much easier without a bug in your
eye.
Large water, fuel and food carrying capacities (no explanation required).
Onboard truck safe and library, overhead lockers, cassette stereo and a
professionally-compiled medical kit (we never lock the medical kit in the safe).
Comprehensive range of spare truck parts and tools.
Spacious two-person tents with built-in ground sheets and mosquito netting, gas
cookers, cooking gear and cutlery, cooler boxes, tables, camp stools and
all-weather awnings (for cooking and shade).
All overland expedition trucks for our Africa and Middle East tours are equipped
with sand mats and, where necessary, tyre chains and winches (you'll find out
why, when you get there).
