When Angie Peacock started Van Life five years ago, it was to solve a problem: she needed to travel across the United States for a press tour and didn’t want to fly. However, she didn’t realize how healing the experience would be: “Something I didn’t expect was that being in an RV, being in nature, and being on the road rehabbed me from post-traumatic stress.”
Now Angie travels in her Winnebago Revel to attend a variety of events as a motivational speaker, including sharing her healing journey with other Military Veterans as a speaker on the national campaign team for the Wounded Warrior Project. She is also a mental health consultant who loves to help others heal and find their life’s purpose.
Why Did You Initially Get into Van Life?
“I was in a film called Medicating Normal where I shared my story about being overmedicated for post-traumatic stress after I was discharged from the U.S. Military, and how I spent a long time readjusting and healing after coming off of the medications that caused me to have adverse side effects. The filmmakers let me set up a tour (because I didn’t want to fly) and I would just travel in a Winnebago View. I didn’t want to go back [after the tour] since I actually liked this way of life.”
How Did Van Life Help Your Mental Health Healing Journey?
“My sleep regulated because of seeing the sunrise and sunset every day. Being in nature helped regulate my nervous system. Being in the world helped me realize that the world is actually a safe place—it is not scary and dangerous the way that my body was telling me it was. People that I met on the road taught me that humanity is actually very kind and caring and loving, and people do want to support you. It was the perfect mental health treatment plan for me, honestly.
AND I built self-sufficiency, and I realized I could do really hard things … if a tire went flat, I could figure it out. It also taught me to just be in the present moment—you don’t have to worry about where you are sleeping tonight, you will figure it out. You don’t have to worry about where you are going to go next. It just has become a better way for me to live and be healthy.
When you are living in your purpose … magical things will happen to you. If magical things are not happening in your life, it might mean that you are not in tune with yourself or what your life’s purpose should be. Just being authentic to yourself, being open to new experiences, and listening to your intuition are all the best things – and you can use that for mental health, for physical health, for relationships, for friendships, for whatever.
What do you want to do? What is really inside that has been calling you, but you’ve been ignoring? You should follow that.”
Why Do You Think Van Life is a Good Fit for Military Veterans?
“There’s a lot of Military Veterans on the road. There’s just something about being on the road and having full control and choice and autonomy. You’re not stuck in one place, you have new experiences, you can try new things, and you meet this community of people that are all doing the same thing. There’s just something very healing about that.
For me, the van just became my safe spot. I know it so well and I know what its capabilities are. I know I have everything I need all the time. It has really helped me more than I expected.”
Note: If you are a Military Veteran wanting to get into RVing, there are multiple Facebook groups that offer a sense of community and a forum where you can ask questions. There are also non-profits that offer support to Veterans, such as The Wounded Warrior Project, as well as organizations like Mind Over Land and Warrior Expeditions which have a focus on healing through spending time outdoors.
How Did You Decide on Your Current RV, the Winnebago Revel?
“I am very loyal to the Winnebago brand because I went from a 2015 Winnebago View to a 2019 Winnebago Travato before I went to the 2023 Winnebago Revel. The Revel was my dream van, but I was so intimidated when I first came into this lifestyle that I didn’t think I would know how to work all that. I thought it was too fancy and had too many bells and whistles, so I felt that I had to grow into it with experience.
But when I purchased it, I was surprised that it was way simpler than all of the other ones. I didn’t realize that until I was living in it. When they handed me the keys, I remember thinking: ‘Is this real, do I really get to be a Revel owner?’ I was so excited!
When I first got on the road [in the Winnebago View], I was more of an RV park kind of person because I was really nervous, and I didn’t know how people camp out in the middle of nowhere. Then within the first six months, I started to try to park in the middle of nowhere to see what it was like and if I was afraid—I actually preferred it over the RV parks. At that point, I sold the View because it was just a little too big for me, but when I went to the Travato it was too small, and it didn’t have that off-road capability, so I got stuck a few times … and that’s how I got into the Revel. I tip-toed into it and then I fell in love with it.
The draw of the Revel was that it’s very simplified with a very minimalistic design. It had all the necessities and was easy to use, but customizable. The bed was a huge selling point for me! I really liked the use of space back there because I could have two living areas in the same area, one for day use and one for night use.”
How Did You Get Involved in the Van Life & Winnebago Revel Communities?
“I really liked getting connected to the Revel community because it is a really good group of people who will always help each other. I’ve made friends all over this country. Remember, if you are out there on the road, there are other people just like you that are out there, too.
The first couple of years I didn’t [attend events or participate in groups] because I was still rehabilitating myself and I could only handle a little bit of social interaction. It has only been in the last two years that I have really gotten connected, and it has enhanced the travel experience, I would say.
At my first event, I don’t think I even talked to anyone. I just went and looked at all the vendor booths and left. Then, at the next one, I camped overnight, and I would talk to my neighbor. Then the next one I was full-fledged, and I took an overland 4×4 course at one of the Revel rallies. I was really scared to do it and one of Winnebago’s Class B product planners rode next to me because I didn’t feel like I could do it by myself.
So, he rode with me and made me feel extra comfortable. It helped me learn the capabilities of my van and I learned that I actually am a good driver, and I can be confident that I know how to use the van that I’m driving. I think it is really important to take courses, if you can, or learn about recovery options. I’ve gotten myself out of some sand all by myself because I took courses like that!
Every year I make a whole list of every event I can think of or that I see pop up, and then I kind of play connect-the-dots across the country if I want to go to them. I’m part of a huge community of van life people, [which includes] overlanding Revel people who usually really get into the custom aspect. When I go to the shows every year, I can’t wait to see what they came up with. I never would have thought I would turn into a girl that gets excited about van parts, but I absolutely am.”
Overland trailers have become increasingly popular among overland adventurers and there’s a multitude of brands on the market offering amazing products. These rugged trailers offer valuable storage, added comfort, and greater freedom to explore remote destinations. However, like any piece of gear, towing a trailer comes with its own set of benefits and challenges. Whether an off-road or overlanding trailer is the right choice for you depends on your travel goals, vehicle compatibility, and personal preferences. Here at TAP we’ve used many different styles over the years and yes, there’s certainly pros and cons.
In this article, we’ll explore these pros and cons and hopefully help you determine if it’s a worthwhile investment for your next off-road adventure.
Pros of Overlanding with an Off-Road or Overland Trailer
Increased Storage Capacity
Benefit: Overland trailers provide significant storage space for gear, food, water, and camping supplies. Whether you’re planning a weekend trip or an extended overlanding expedition, having extra space ensures that you can carry everything you need without overcrowding your vehicle.
Enhanced Comfort
Benefit: Many off-road and overland trailers come with built-in sleeping arrangements like rooftop tents, fold-out beds, or awnings. This feature can make your camping experience much more comfortable, especially in harsh weather conditions. No need to set up camp every night—just pull over and enjoy your setup.
Freedom to stage camp and leave
Benefit: Staging the trailer at camp allows you to leave for the day to tackle a rugged trial or perhaps fish, hike, and climb.
Better Organization
Benefit: With dedicated compartments, storage racks, and tie-downs, overland trailers offer superior organization compared to simply cramming gear into your vehicle. This organization can save time and stress during your trip, making it easier to access essentials.
Weight Distribution
Benefit: In the USA tow rates are often significantly greater than payload rates, allowing the owner to distribute a lot of weight away from the rig itself.
Cons of Overlanding with an Off-Road or Overland Trailer
Added Weight and Reduced Fuel Efficiency
Drawback: Towing an off-road trailer adds extra weight to your set up, which can impact fuel efficiency and overall performance. This can be particularly noticeable when driving on steep inclines or long stretches of road. Overlanding with a trailer on a regular basis may also require more frequent vehicle maintenance.
Increased Setup Time
Drawback: While many off-road trailers are designed for convenience, setting up and breaking down camp with a trailer can still take longer than simply setting up a tent. Additionally, parking and maneuvering with a trailer in tight spaces can definitely be more challenging and stressful.
Cost
Drawback: Off-road and overland trailers can be expensive. Prices vary based on features, size, and durability, but in general, a quality off-road trailer will set you back thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, you’ll need to factor in maintenance costs and potential repairs for the trailer over time.
Increased Maintenance
Drawback: Like any off-road equipment, trailers require regular maintenance. Suspension systems, tires, brakes, and electrical components are all subject to wear and tear, especially after rugged use. If you’re new to trailer maintenance, it might take some time to learn how to properly care for your trailer.
Limited Maneuverability
Drawback: One of the biggest challenges of towing an off-road trailer is maneuverability. While off-road trailers are designed to handle tough terrain, navigating tight turns, narrow trails, and steep climbs can become more difficult, especially in areas with limited space.
Not Ideal for All Terrains
Drawback: While off-road trailers are rugged, they’re not invincible. Some extremely rough terrains, such as deep sand dunes, rock gardens, or deep mud, can still present a challenge for trailers, especially if they’re not specifically designed for those conditions.
Final Thoughts: Is Overlanding with an Off-Road Trailer Right for You?
Choosing to overland with an off-road or overland trailer ultimately depends on your personal preferences and the type of adventure you’re seeking. Bottom line, remember there’s no perfect rig and every set up will create compromises. If you value extra storage and comfort, a trailer could be a game-changer for your overland journeys. However, if you have a more minimalist approach, the added weight, cost and the increased difficulty of towing in rugged terrain, might not be ideal for you.

When Four Wheel Campers introduced Larry Baab as CEO back in July, it marked a fresh chapter for the brand and the whole truck camper scene. FWC has long been the go-to for durable, lightweight pop-up campers that are as at home off-grid as they are in an established campsite. Now, with more focus on innovation and user-driven design, FWC is gearing up to bring even more to the table. For anyone keeping an eye on what’s next, 2025 promises some big product reveals designed for real-world adventure. FWC is rolling out updates aimed at bringing more quality, versatility, and capability to those of us who live for the open road and remote escapes.
TAP sat down with Larry for some insight on his vision for Four Wheel Campers. Let’s Dive in!
Thanks for sitting down with us Larry. So, what inspired you to join Four Wheel Campers as the new CEO?
Four Wheel Campers has an incredible legacy in the camping and overlanding space, and I’m excited to be part of a company that’s at the forefront of rugged, lightweight camper design. My goal is to continue building on this foundation, innovating our pop-up truck campers for increased comfort and function for any type of camping adventure.
Four Wheel Campers is already a leader in the truck camper market, so how will you continue building on this reputation?
Four Wheel Campers became a leader by listening to customers and understanding what outdoor enthusiasts truly need. We’re focused on where the truck camper market is headed in 2025 and beyond, investing in our processes and exploring new ways to enhance durability and usability.
How does innovation fit into your vision at Four Wheel Campers?
At Four Wheel Campers, we’re always looking for ways to enhance our campers’ versatility, durability, and ease of use. Our goal is to keep evolving alongside the needs of our community, with thoughtful improvements that ensure our campers are ready for all kinds of terrain. Each step forward in 2025 will help us stay aligned with the latest market trends and keep campers prepared for whatever the trail may bring.
Can you give us any insight into the specific trends you’re seeing in the truck camper space and more generally in Overlanding?
In the truck camper world, demand is rising now more than ever for lightweight designs that boost fuel efficiency and off-road performance – a concept that FWC has mastered with our pop-up design. Off-grid capability continues to be a growing focus, with consumers wanting more water capacity, more power capacity, plus features that support long and self-sufficient trips with the ability to work remotely right from camp. Customization continues to be a top demand; people want to personalize their rigs to fit their exact needs and taste. We work hard to keep up with the demands of the market and our customers, in 2025 you’ll see that come to life more than ever.
Is there anything exciting in the works for Four Wheel Campers fans?
Definitely. Over the course of 2025, Four Wheel Campers will introduce a new series into our lineup of pop-up truck campers. This series is tailored to meet the latest trends and needs of off-road campers. It’s a launch we’re really excited about. And later in the year, you’ll see enhancements across our existing lineup, making them even better suited for the rough, off-grid adventures our community loves. There is a lot to look forward to in 2025 and we can’t wait to share.
You’re teasing us, Larry. Can you provide us with more specific nugget(s) of what’s to come next year?
While I can’t give away too much yet, I can honestly say Four Wheel Campers has some exciting things brewing for 2025. You can expect a new level of innovation that’ll be a game-changer for those of us who live for the outdoors. FWC’s dedication to adventure-focused design is taking another leap forward, and I think you’re going to like what’s on the horizon. Stay tuned—this is one you won’t want to miss.”
New updates and products and updates can often be difficult to showcase to the public. Does FWC have any plans to make them available to view in 2025?
Great question! We know that “seeing is believing,” and it’s so important for customers to step inside and experience our products firsthand. Often, customers come in with a specific model in mind, but once they explore a Four Wheel Camper in person, they may find themselves drawn to an entirely different model.
In 2025, we’re putting a big emphasis on making our latest products available for people to see up close at shows and expos—and, even more importantly, in our dealers’ showrooms. We have a strong network of dealers across North America, including seven new locations added since early 2023. Through incentivized dealer programs, we’re ensuring each location can showcase our newest models, providing every potential customer with a hands-on experience as soon as they walk through the door.
Thanks for your time today, Larry. I think we’re all eagerly awaiting 2025 and can’t wait to see what you guys have got cooking.

This walkie talkie is tough and built to withstand the toughest overlanding trails across the country!
Ensure connection through communication with Midland’s GXT67 Pro, no matter where adventure takes you.”

Onwrd23ZERO have upgraded their 180° awning – check out the new Peregrine PRO 180° Awning.This vehicle mounted shelter offers 95 square feet of coverage and spans 20 feet along the length of a vehicle.
The freestanding design allows for a large, uninterrupted shaded area on windless days and on windier days you can employ the integrated telescopic poles and guy ropes for added stability. The new aluminum box truss rafter arms add to the strength of the awning and include built-in diffused and adjustable LED lighting.
Like most of 23ZERO’s rooftop tents, the Peregrine PRO’s canopy is made from 23ZERO’s sustainable ECO13B fabric which is 100% certified recycled 900D Polyester Oxford. It is produced using recycled PET bottles – to be more precise, 13 PET bottles are used in one square meter of fabric. This results in huge energy savings as well as significantly less petroleum and chemical use during fiber production in an effort to bring more sustainability to the industry – it’s good for the environment while getting you out in the environment!
It also includes 23ZERO’s revolutionary LST™ (light suppression technology). LST™ is specially formulated and combines a UV treatment and advanced polyurethane coating which is skillfully applied to the underside of the fabric and reduces light penetration to almost zero. By reducing light, you also reduce heat maintaining cooler temperatures underneath the awning and providing exceptional UV protection, comfort, and shade.
Did you know the Peregrine PRO Awning is fast and seamless to set up with single person deployment and pack-down? Other features include a movable front or rear weather skirt, reinforced tie-off points for rainwater run-off, integrated aluminum rope tracks for accessory attachment, and so much more.

At 200-220lbs, it’s nimble enough to thread through tight spots but sturdy enough to handle the rough stuff. This isn’t just another electric bike; it’s a purpose-built tool for those who crave adventure beyond the pavement’s edge.
7 inches of ground clearance means you’ll clear most obstacles without breaking a sweat. The 30-32 inch seat height gives you the control you need, whether you’re navigating a technical climb or letting it rip on an open trail. We’ve fine-tuned every aspect of the District’s design to deliver a ride that’s as capable as it is thrilling.
We built the District because we needed it ourselves – a scrambler that blends electric efficiency with true off-road capability. It’s not about hype. It’s about having the right tool for the job when the job is kicking up dust and finding new horizons.
The District isn’t just transportation; it’s an invitation to explore. It’s for early risers chasing the perfect sunrise spot, for weekend warriors seeking that hidden swimming hole, and for daily commuters who prefer the scenic route.
From rocky desert paths to muddy forest trails, the LAND District scrambler adapts to your adventure. It’s tough enough to take a beating and refined enough to turn heads. This is more than a machine – it’s your partner in the pursuit of freedom on two wheels.
