            Overland Radio Show with Lee - Episode Summary

            Hey everyone, it's Lee here, and I just wrapped up another fantastic episode of the Overland Radio Show. We had a blast tonight, and I'm excited to share a quick recap with all of you who might have missed the live broadcast.

            Our guest for the evening was the elusive and adventurous Kelly, who, despite being a bit of a slacker getting to the show on time, shared some incredible stories and insights. We chatted about everything from the challenges of overlanding with a family to the beauty of Montana, where Kelly recently moved.

          • "Harnessing the Power of 12 Volts with REDARC's Mark Bruce"

            Overland Radio Show: Special Guest Mark Bruce from Red Arc

            Hey everyone, Lee here from the Overland Radio Show. We just wrapped up an incredible episode with our special guest, Mark Bruce from Red Arc. As always, it was a Tuesday night delight filled with insightful discussions about the latest in 12-volt technology and overlanding gear.

            We kicked things off by giving a shout out to our sponsors, including Overland Attic, Rugged Bound, and Midland USA. We also encouraged our listeners to share the episode and leave us a positive review on platforms like iTunes.

            Mark, joining us all the way from Australia, brought the heat with discussions about Red Arc's innovative products. Despite the temperature differences between Oklahoma and Australia, we dove into the cool features of Red Arc's offerings.

            One of the highlights was learning about Red Arc's 150 ampere lithium battery with an inbuilt heater, perfect for handling extreme temperatures. Mark explained how this dense power battery can handle a 2000 watt inverter on its own, a game-changer for overlanders.

            We also talked about the new smart battery monitor, which is like a fuel gauge for your auxiliary battery system. It uses an algorithm to convert volts and amps into time, giving you a clear idea of how much power you have left.

            Mark introduced us to the Red Vision Rogue, a compact and versatile system that can control up to 10 circuits and monitor two water tanks. It's a solid-state system with digital fuses and can be daisy-chained for more complex setups.

            For those looking to manage their power on the go, the Go Block was a topic of interest. It's a portable power solution with a 50 amp DC-DC charging circuit, allowing you to take your fridge and other essentials anywhere.

            We wrapped up the show with a sneak peek at the upcoming Manager 100, a battery management system that can charge large lithium batteries and adjust power draw from your vehicle's alternator.

            It was an episode packed with information that left us excited about the future of overlanding tech. We can't wait to see what Red Arc has in store for us next, and we're already looking forward to having Mark back on the show.

            Remember to check out our sponsors, and if you're at the Moore Expo, come find Ashley and me right outside the main entrance. Until next time, keep exploring and stay charged up with the latest gear from Red Arc!

          • "From Big RVs to Custom Trailers: Jamin's Journey to Kingdom Camping"

            Hey everyone, it's Lee here from the Overland Radio Show, and I just wrapped up an incredible episode with Jamin from Kingdom Camping. We had a blast discussing his journey from working in the traditional RV industry to starting his own company focused on creating off-grid, overland-ready trailers.

            Jamin shared his personal story, which began with a cross-country trip and a desire for a camper that could handle his own off-road adventures. This led to the birth of Kingdom Camping, where he now designs and builds trailers tailored to the overlanding community's needs.

            We talked about the various models Kingdom Camping offers, from the compact and versatile Adventure Pro Mini 2.0 to the gear-hauling Base-X, and the midsize ATS which is currently being redesigned. Jamin emphasized the importance of quality and customization, explaining how they use materials like Asdale and Bicom plastics to ensure durability and longevity.

            Jamin also gave us a sneak peek into what's coming down the pipeline, including a redesign of the ATS to match the popular Caravan XL profile and an exciting venture into expedition trucks. He's focused on creating an affordable yet fully-featured option for those looking to tackle long-distance overland trips.

            Throughout the episode, we discussed the importance of community feedback in shaping their products and how Kingdom Camping is open to customizing trailers to fit individual needs. Jamin also mentioned their plans to hit all the Overland Expos next year, so keep an eye out for them.

            For those interested in Kingdom Camping's offerings, Jamin mentioned a lead time of about 10-12 weeks for a build, though they're currently booked through May due to high demand. He also shared that they're expanding their production plant to keep up with orders.

            It was a pleasure having Jamin on the show, and I'm excited to see Kingdom Camping at the upcoming More Expo. If you're in the market for a high-quality, overland trailer, or just want to follow their journey, check them out on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

            Thanks to all our listeners for tuning in, and a big shoutout to our sponsors for their support. Remember, if you've got a suggestion for a show or want to leave us a review, we'd really appreciate it. Until next time, keep exploring and stay adventurous!

            Ashley and I also gabbed about our upcoming camping trips, including the Polar Bear Campouts. I even shared a little mix-up from a recent Oklahoma trip—just goes to show, clear communication is crucial!

            As we sign off, just remember, it's all about community in the overlanding world. Keep your crew tight but don't shut others out. We're pumped for this year's events, especially the campouts, and hope to see a big, friendly crowd.

We're super excited about this, even though we're still getting to know OEV's campers. It's a big deal for Overland Attic, and honestly, we can't wait to see where this partnership heads. We also chatted about some high-end campers and other cool gear in our Christmas catalog. And yes, we couldn't resist throwing in a few jokes about Canadian accents and stuff like that.
