Howdy, Chris!Great, Grand, and Wonderful! (Slight fun reference from Chris Farley). Was a pleasure ordering and receiving my new Sunflare Xplor 180W solar panel. Thank you very much for the great price for a quality product. I really appreciate all the knowledge and know-how you've expressed and shared with me. I feel very confident in a great build, utilizing your tools, expertise, and guidance. Antelope Valley Overland Supply is the way! Really appreciate all the shop talk, too. Thanks for listening and answering my barrage of questions. Am looking forward to a fun build.Thanks again for everything. Take care and be well.See ya again in the future.Respectfully, R.Sean Griffith '21 Ford Ranger w/ Superpacific
Great little shop that was long over due for the antelope valley. Whether you are stoping in for a quick question or you’re looking for that upgrade to fill your adventure needs, this shop and its staff have you covered.
I went to the grand opening and had a chance to speak with the owner. He’s a great honest guy who’s passionate about camping and overlanding. They only carry quality items, some that i personally use myself and some that I’m planning on buying. I was able to buy two front runner Wolfpack boxes and an element fire extinguisher that same day. It’s also nice to see all the cool rigs people bring on the second Saturday of each month for rigs and coffee. If you’re in northern LA county or passing by on the 14, I definitely recommend you try stopping by!

We love camping and land cruisers, the 80 series land cruiser. Best one, don’t even try to prove us wrong.
On a serious note, we love camping and land cruisers but we also love being able to share adventures and the process of helping you outfit your rig to better enjoy your adventures.
We outdoorsy people are like a special breed, we leave a perfectly comfy house, drive for hours (gas ain’t cheap), just to park on a dirt patch somewhere while fighting bugs, bears and pooping in holes and taking pictures we think are cool. Special!
Here at AV Overland, we provide our personal knowledge and great gear to help you on your crazy adventures.
