Everything You Need for Overlanding in Canada

Truck Tents and Awnings

A quality truck tent turns your pickup bed into a comfortable, elevated sleeping space in minutes. Designed to keep you off the ground and protected from the elements, truck bed tents are one of the most popular upgrades for Canadian overlanders. Pair your tent with a vehicle awning for instant shade and shelter at your campsite. Our awnings mount directly to your roof rack or truck cap and deploy quickly so you spend less time setting up and more time exploring.

Portable Refrigerators and Air Conditioners

Keep food, drinks, and medication cold no matter how far off-grid you travel. Portable refrigerators and freezers are built for rugged use and run efficiently off your truck's 12-volt system or a portable power station. For overlanders who camp in warmer months or in southern Canada during summer, portable air conditioners provide welcome relief at the end of a long trail day.

Recovery Boards and Recovery Straps

Getting stuck is part of overlanding. Getting unstuck quickly and safely is the goal. Recovery boards give your tires the traction needed to escape mud, sand, and snow, while recovery straps and kinetic ropes allow you to self-recover or assist a fellow traveler. Every overlander in Canada should carry at least one form of vehicle recovery gear before heading into the backcountry.

Overland Lighting

Visibility on remote trails and at camp is critical. Our overland lighting category includes light bars, auxiliary driving lights, and camp lighting solutions that help you navigate after dark and work safely around your vehicle. Durable, weather-resistant designs handle rain, dust, and vibration without complaint.

Modular Truck Caps and Cargo Solutions

A modular truck cap takes your overland build to the next level by creating a protected, organized living and storage space in your truck bed. With roof rack integration, gear access doors, and sleeping platform compatibility, modular caps are the backbone of a serious overland setup. Combine with tool boxes and cargo accessories for a fully organized rig.

Fire Pits for Camp Life

No overland camp is complete without a gathering spot. Portable fire pits are compact, lightweight, and designed for leave-no-trace camping. Enjoy warmth and atmosphere at any campsite without digging a fire ring or damaging the terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Overland Truck Accessories in Canada

What is overlanding and what accessories do I need? 

Overlanding is self-reliant, vehicle-based travel and camping in remote or off-road environments. Essential overland accessories include a truck tent or rooftop tent, recovery boards, recovery straps, a portable refrigerator, off-road lighting, and an awning. A modular truck cap can also add significant utility and sleeping space to any overland build.

Do overland accessories fit my specific truck?

Yes. Action Car and Truck Accessories carries overland gear for a wide range of trucks and SUVs, including Ford F-150, Ram 1500, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Tacoma, and more. Use the Shop By Vehicle tool on our website to filter products by your year, make, and model.

Can I use a portable refrigerator with my truck's battery?

Most portable refrigerators and freezers are designed to run off a standard 12-volt vehicle outlet or auxiliary battery setup. Many models include low-voltage cutoff protection to prevent draining your starting battery. For extended off-grid use, pairing a portable fridge with a secondary lithium battery or solar setup is recommended.

What recovery gear should I carry for overlanding in Canada?

At a minimum, Canadian overlanders should carry recovery boards for traction in mud, snow, or sand, a quality recovery strap or kinetic rope, a shackle set, and a shovel. Depending on your terrain and solo vs. group travel, a winch can also be a valuable addition.

Are truck bed tents waterproof?

Most quality truck bed tents are made from weather-resistant materials with sealed seams and are designed to handle rain and wind. Check the specific product specifications for waterproof ratings. Pairing a truck tent with a tailgate seal kit further improves weather resistance in heavy rain.

What is a modular truck cap and how is it different from a standard truck cap?

A modular truck cap is a more versatile and adventure-focused version of a traditional fiberglass truck cap. Modular caps typically feature removable panels, integrated roof racks, gear access doors on the sides, and compatibility with sleeping platforms and interior organization systems. They are designed specifically for overlanding and off-road use rather than primarily for cargo protection.

Does Action Car and Truck Accessories ship overland gear across Canada?

Yes. Action Car and Truck Accessories ships overland accessories to customers across Canada. Visit our website or contact our team for shipping details and to find the location nearest you.

What brands of overland accessories does Action Trucks carry?

Action Car and Truck Accessories carries a curated selection of trusted overland brands. Product availability varies by category, and our team can help you find the right brand and product for your specific truck and adventure needs.

Can I install overland accessories myself?

Many overland accessories such as truck tents, awnings, recovery boards, and portable refrigerators require little to no professional installation and are designed for easy self-install. More complex accessories such as roof racks, winches, and modular truck caps may benefit from professional installation. Our store team is available to assist with recommendations.

What is the difference between recovery boards and recovery straps?

Recovery boards, sometimes called traction boards, are rigid plastic devices placed under a stuck tire to provide grip and allow the vehicle to drive out on its own. Recovery straps are used to pull a stuck vehicle out with the help of a second vehicle. Both serve different recovery scenarios and ideally should be part of every overland kit.
