There are two mounting options for
the orientation of your new Overland
Vehicle Systems Tent. Either the tent
will open so that the ladder extends
off the back of your vehicle,
“Rear
Mounted,”
or the ladder extends off
the side of your vehicle, “Side
Mounted.” Most of our customers
choose to mount their tents with the
ladder extending off the side of the
vehicle, in
“Side
Mounted”
orientation.
Either orientation works for larger
vehicles, however, most sedans or
smaller SUVs are better suited for the
side mounted option.
