Let customers speak for us
from 94 reviewsI've only had it a little over a month so far and is holding up great on my 3rd Gen Tacoma. The material is relatively thin metal with a sturdy frame. No insulation or heat barrier, so the inside does get hot. Solid build for under $3k after professional installation. Will report back after putting a rack and tent on it, plus seeing some weather.

I was getting ready for a camping trip, last minute and after giving them a call I received great service and speedy package delivery. I will definitely be buying from them again!

10/10 overall. Super easy assembly and instillation. You will need 2 people to assemble it and at-least 3-4 able bodied people to lift it on top of the bed. Absolutely no water leaks or rattling when driving, just follow the manual and retighten the clamps every so often. I was also able to reach out to them with my questions and they responded very quickly. This thing looks better than any other camper shell on the road, highly recommend.

I highly recommend this stove and the accessories that are required for through the all application. I have also used the stove on my patio for warmth and relaxation, beautiful windows to watch the fire. My intention for this kit is to provide emergency heating for back room. This stove is usefull and enjoyable all year long. I recommend this website, great service, fast delivery, and I can chat with Nathan ,the owner, as a friend. Thank you.

Ordered my Nomadic 3 tent and it arrived in less than 7 days, ahead of schedule. Installation was pretty straightforward, except the mounting bolts were not long enough due to my UpTop Retrax Truss bed rack, which included 2 iinch load bars. This was easily resolved by purchasing some longer bolts at the hardware store.
Took it out for a maiden trip a week later, in the middle of wicked rainstorm. We heard and felt the wind and rain all night, beat upon the tent, but we remained comfortable, warm and dry. The product was fantastic. Nathan service was equally stellar. From the point of trying to select the right tent to his various accommodations in finding the right companion products, I was very impressed. I will recommend him to all of my friends, and continue to purchase my products from him.

Installed my UpTop Truss rack over my Retrax retractable bed cover on my 2020 Tacoma. The video instructions from the manufacturer were a little bit outdated, because they have updated/upgraded a few of the connectors, but it was not too difficult to determine where those changes were. A few hours of work and it was solidly and securely on the truck, ready to mount my OVS Nomadic 3 RTT, which I took out for a test campout a week later. Everything functioned beautifully and I am supper happy with the purchase.

I've used this tent on three separate occasions this season. Great tent for overlanding. Easy to set up and well thought out. I can set it up in under a half hour by myself. The zippers are good. It is triple stitched where needed and double stitched every where else. We've been using this tent with a wood stove and would definitely recommend a hot mat (heat resistant) under the stove as the floor is not heat resistant. It is well made, roomy and comfortable. It hasn't rained on us yet so I can't speak for the water resistance. Perfect tent for car camping or overlanding.

As a newbie West Virginia Overlander, I'm just getting my gear set up in the lower 48. Nathan has been fantastic in helping me get my OVS Nomadic 3 Extended tent system purchased and delivered quickly. My tent arrived within a few days. I am particularly impressed with his follow up texts to make sure everything is working properly. LiveMoreOutside is my new go-to company for all my overlanding gear. Lori C

I have an elk hunt in a few weeks and I was slacking and waited until the end of August to get all my accessories for my Whiteduck Alpha tent. As luck would have it, Whiteduck and the entire internet is out of stock for this rain fly. Livemoreoutside.com said they had some in stock so in a panic I put the order in. The next day, I emailed livemoreoutside to ask if they actually had it in stock or if it was just a glitch in their inventory. The next day, Nathan personally called me to let me know he had called around to his distributors and found one and it was on the way. He sent me the tracking code and checked in throughout the process. Four days after I put my order in I have received the rain fly. I am so impressed with how personal and prompt livemoreoutside was with replying to my question and sending the product. I highly recommend purchasing from them and I will recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a tent or accessories. Thanks again Nathan!
