About Overland Vehicle Systems

Overland Vehicle Systems, usually shortened to OVS, is a Southern California overlanding brand based in Santa Fe Springs. It designs the gear that turns a truck or SUV into a camp: shells over the bed, tents on the roof, awnings off the side, and the storage and recovery equipment that goes along. OVS also owns Ruff Rax (USA-made bed and roof racks), Up Down Air (tire air management) and King 4WD (Jeep soft tops).

What we carry from OVS

Truck caps and camper shells, roof top tents, awnings and awning walls, bed racks, recovery gear, waxed canvas storage bags, plus camp kitchens, fridge slides, camp furniture and an off-road trailer.

Vehicle-specific caps and racks cover the Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, Ford F-150, Ford Super Duty, Ford Ranger, Chevy Silverado, RAM 1500, Jeep Gladiator.

How to choose

  • Tents come in three tiers. XD uses the heaviest 320G blackout fabric and the most included accessories, HD sits in the middle, and LD is the entry line.
  • Hard shell tents are more compact and set up in under two minutes; soft shells are roomier and can add an annex room. Check your vehicle's static and dynamic roof load first.
  • Awnings: a 180 covers one side, a 270 wraps the side and rear. 270s are ordered driver side or passenger side.
  • Expedition PRO caps have solid side panels; PRO+ adds full windows on the sides, wing doors and rear hatch. Both are modular stainless steel with a no-drill clamp install.

Lead times & shipping

OVS says most orders leave its warehouse in 1 to 2 business days. Truck caps and bed racks ship by LTL freight on a liftgate truck, and roof top tents ship by common carrier with curbside delivery; the carrier calls to schedule and someone needs to be there. Inspect freight before you sign and note any damage on the bill of lading. See current lead times for the latest.
