- Overland Expo West. the USA's largest overland expo. 2015
Overland Expo West is one of the USA's main overlanding and 4x4 expos. Held twice a year, this one is the Arizona (west) event held May 2015. This video is brought to you by 4xOverland, makers of the best overland videos on the web. If you love Andrew's videos? Then support more here: / andrew_stpierre_white
I had never heard of the word overland in 2015. I bought an FJ Cruiser in 2017 and went to my first Overland Expo in 2018 and camped there in 2019. What a difference from 2018 and 2019, the expo is gigantic compared to 2015!! Thanks for the look back.
So glad you've hooked up with a Sportsmobile, I've been drooling over them for years and would love to buy one someday (when I can afford it).
I love your presentations . They are very dramatic and engaging leaving the view with a thirst for more.
What a great video! There's something about being able to tough out ugly situations be it weather or other kinds of challenges that bring like minded people together. For me I find it fun to rough it in stormy weather testing out gear and it doesn't matter whether or not it fails, what matters was the adventure and that marks success!
Awesome!!!!! I hope the weather was a bit more accommodating this year; and you're right as rain (excuse the pun), it's all about the people. We love having our cousins from across the pond coming over to visit us. We also love what you do in other parts of the world with your mutual passion. Cheers! Sorry, I'm out of Coke! ;)
Great video. This year was my 2nd as well and I loved it. I plan to go every year. I learned something this year.
With the rain and snow and mud and cold....I will not be using a ground tent again. I was not comfortable. My tent got poked on the floor and watery mud kept getting my feet wet since I was wearing slippers in the tent and not my muddy boots.
I can totally justify spending the money on a nice overland vehicle now. Off the ground. Protected from the rain and wind and snow. Snug as abug. I was so jealous seeing you sleeping in a sports mobile in this video lol.
I am not a pro film maker but my youtube channel has had some success. Maybe I should take a film class?
See you next year.
+mixflip I love your videos Mixflip. I should take lessons from you!!! 2015 was my first Overland expo and I did publish a couple of Sportsmobile interview videos on my other channel but am too embarassed to link them here. It was just practice he he... See you next year! Yes, Andrew St Pierre White is the nirvana meister of adventure filmmaking. I hope you get to take his class! Love +4xoverland
Good dude this Andrew chap is.hes never far from a little adventure.
Fun video. Enjoyed your film night. My group did the Mojave as well afterwards.....and Death Valley.....and Zion, Bryce, Escalante, The Burr, & central Utah. Snoverland Expo was awesome this year ! See ya next year !
thanks for showing the 4x4 vans the respect they deserve
Thanks for sharing your visit to the 2015 Expo Andrew. We met last year at the 2014 Expo. I couldn't make the 2015 expo, but hope to go to the 2016 show. Hope you will be there. I rather enjoyed your class and your videos.
Awesome as usual, bummed we missed out on Expo this year!
just got a landrover for off roading no nothing about or the driving ,and i know there is no better than experience ,but watching your driving tips has given me at least an idea of thing to look for,great vids keep um coming
2015 was a very wet spring, the wind is usually what May & June are like. Just found your videos thanks
loving the sports mobile, shame it was washed out - spirits never dampen at these events :)
thanks my frind
Pleasure meeting you out there, you had a nice presentation at the cinema. I think, however, next year quite a few folks will be up on the ridge, hehe.
Fantastic vid as always. Thanks.
not sure if your ever going to read my post..I have a 2006 Honda CRV awd..yes it's small but it would be super cool if you'd review this little cars amazing off road capabilities..it's good on gas, simplistic,practical. great camping car and very reliable as well..it's hope you read me post!!

Pure awesome!
I enjoyed that very much.
Great vid as usual, reminds me of the bushcraft show last year lol, very wet.
Atb jason
I would love to see him and Jeremy Clarkson overlanding either in separate rigs or taking turns driving the same rig.
It was a shame I couldn't make it to the expo this year, but it sounds like I need to try for next year. see you then i hope.
انساااه وانسى ذكراااه 💔💔
The smaller units with canvas pop up or extensions are fine for warmer and temperate weather but I'll stick to larger expedition vehicles for true cold weather like the Alcan Highway and for security.
9:58. Across the mud puddle out on the far left. That's my campsite with the silver Dodge Ram 3500!
That mud was all of the fun.
Lexani released a off-road camper van. It's way bigger than the Winnebago Revel 44E.
Nice video..are you still in the USA?
Hey the Expedition Overland trucks were in there at 0:34
James Blake i saw that too i was like omg lol
+James Blake yes I spied their truck...
Those are the guys that had to brave the Mckenzie Trail with vehicle damage right? It was scratching and shallow dents from a tire chain break that they couldn't hear with the windows up as I recall it.
Can I get a CD of the drums at 3:33? That was good!
Hey! At 0:34, those are Expedition Overland vehicles! How on earth were they in Flagstaff, AZ during the expo when their Central America trip went through the end of May?
onknagreemc they were in Prescott Arizona to have their roof top tents mounted and lights..and that's right next to flagstaff
kodiak4502004 they talked about this during the first episode of their season 2
Saw your cars in this video! @expeditionoverland
The Overland vehicles are somewhat comfortable but not as off road capable. The Jeeple are similar and travel in 10-20 traffic doing 5-15 mph on desert roads with 1' whoops. They spot each other off a curb. I could not deal with with being part of their groups. Others like me may buy a Raptor. While they are good and the best off the lot they are expensive and not all that for the style they are made for. I bought an 87 Ford Bronco and built it not with the 4 wheel parts kind of shops disco kits. I have a cut and turned lifted twin traction beam lift and I plated and gusseted the beams and use long chromoly heim jointed radius arms. Tall shock tower mounts with King shocks. No blocks under the rear springs! Deaver springs and a frame to frame upper shock mount for long King Shocks. There are other good shocks like Fox, Sway Away, Icon etc.. Not Ranchos I have had in previous 4x4's I have had. Beefed up axles transmission, gears, lockers, fiberglass fenders for clearance and hood less weight etc.. Took off sway bars and cycled the wheel travel making needed clearance and limit straps and bump stops that work. While a new Raptor has 13" front and 13.9" of wheel travel. My Bronco has 17-18" front travel and 20" in the rear. I take out the rear seat for overland and this is how my 4x4 works. Links.... th-cam.com/video/OIYPKwUbzNE/w-d-xo.html over rough

Nothing like passing Jeeple or Vans crawling over 1" whoops at 70 mph over 3" whoops toasting out the window nor spilling your drink with an ear to ear grin in comfort. :)
Ah man, had I known you were going to make it out... I would have made the trip. Would have been an honor to meet you out there at the expo. I will definitely head out there next year, looks like a really fun venue. That mud looked nasty.
That mud is the reason I'm so torn on getting bfg KO2's and BFG Mud terrain KM2's, I'm tired of havin the weather dictate whether I can go have fun offroad, I certainly don't like the basically street tires my poor ranger is on now but being 16 years old it's hard to buy mud terrains
Why is 'amazing' that these over landers are staying during the inclement weather?
RVtrader has a few used Sportsmobiles for sale.
Красивые авто
Good...
漂亮 最喜欢越野房车了！升降机构是什么样子的能分享下吗？你们看我的评论需要翻译吧……哈哈…………
You have a national geographic voice...lol
Will you be attending the Overland Expo West next month?
+Eric Sabelhaus Yes. I will be camping in a Fourwheel Camper in the showgrounds.
Great! I will see you there.
+Expedition Overland represented I see.
Andrew you did not answer your own question, which was could you live in your small Toyota (The Ultimate Camper) for a year. When you embark on a life of full time Overland travel you would not be able to seriously undertake it in a converted weekend warrior 4X4. The best & only (In my opinion) vehicle is a outfitted expedition truck, either 4X4, 6X6 or an 8X8, yes these machines are large but extremely capable & very comfortable for the long haul full time over-lander. Being a very experienced & widely traveled overland reporter & journalist could you at some of these events cover a few of the larger trucks for those of us that do have these types of vehicles, to have someone of your caliber & style of reporting it would be very much appreciated as I am sure others would also be interested in seeing the larger vehicles please think on it as I have not been able to find any good English spoken coverage on them of any worth.
Land Rovers could not venture onto their track....hah, hah!!
andy from here to there asking money. very bad andy. dont forget your ROOTS
It's got to be a Ford Transit OR a Mercedes Sprinter BUT in saying that I must stipulate, LEAVE IT ALONE !
All TOO Many people ruin their vans by doing this and that and changing it into a monstrosity, so STOP !
Stop right there ! Buy the right van OR just put a Hammock in the back, BUT whatever you do, DO NOT make it vulgar !
Ps, ANY old sleeper-cab, Lorry will have a Battery Powered Night Heater which is easy to take out and donate into your van AND doesn't take any of the messing around that gas powered heaters do !
I heard you mention a few times you had video making seminars Do you teach people? If so please change the heading or stop teaching because this video was not about an expo but just you blabbing away The heading leads a person to believe your going to show the expo Oh we'll good thing others that make videos did what their headings said their videos were about
