Our Story

We’re Chanrith and Jessica—lifelong Washingtonians with a shared passion for the great outdoors.

In 2017, we built a thriving car rental business here in Seattle. The fleet grew, bookings rolled in, and everything was on track.

Then, 2020 hit like a wrecking ball.

The pandemic wiped out travel overnight. Reservations vanished, airports emptied, and our once-busy rental lot became a graveyard of idle cars. We held on as long as we could, but eventually, we had no choice—we shut down and sold off the fleet.

Well, almost all of it.

We held onto two Jeeps. Instead of selling them, we had an idea. What if we turned one into the rugged overland camper we had always dreamed of? We kitted it out with a built-in rooftop tent, an awning, and all the gear needed for a true off-grid adventure. We listed it on Outdoorsy, just to see what would happen.

The response was instant.

We realized people weren’t just looking for cars—they wanted an escape. They craved adventure, open roads, and nights under the stars. They wanted the wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

One Jeep became two. Two became four. By 2022, Seattle Overland was born, with a fleet of eight fully equipped Jeep campers.

Our Mission, Forged by Experience

That experience didn't just give us a new business; it gave us a new mission. At Seattle Overland, we transform your adventurous spirit into an unforgettable journey because we know how much that journey matters.

Our fully equipped 4x4 Jeep campers are designed to handle any dirt road or backcountry trail, allowing you to explore off the beaten path with confidence. We provide everything you need for your great escape—just add food and drinks.

We built this for you. Ready to start your adventure?
