Front Runner | Dometic recently attended the biggest overland show in Europe, the Abenteuer & Allrad in Bad Kissingen, Germany. Visitors had the chance to see our newest products in action including the Pro bed Rack for pick-ups. There was certainly no shortage of inspiration from our host of head-turning display vehicles including David Steca’s Range Rover Classic as featured in our latest Keep Searching campaign video. If you’ve never been before, then save the date now for the 2025 edition. See you there from 19-22 June! Photo Credit: Benyamin Senkal

In May this year, we showcased our latest overland innovations on Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, AZ, USA. Attendees could see our best-selling Slimline II Roof Rack on the impressive new GMC Canyon, while a Toyota Tundra hosted our new Pro Bed Rack, the ultimate gear storage solution for pick-ups. Our booth provided a unique opportunity to get close to our various rack systems and see Dometic’s display of water jugs, powered coolers, camping tables, and chairs. A massive thank-you to all who visited our busy booth. If you have missed the chance to come by - you're welcome to visit our booth on Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, CO, USA. August 23-25, 2024 on booth A600. See you there!

David Steca is always pushing the boundaries of comfort, seeking raw, unfiltered experiences that shape his adventures. Whether in his workshop, meticulously restoring classic cars, navigating his Range Rover Classic into the Saharan sunset and carving a path through the Moroccan landscape, pushing his purpose-built creations to their limits, he consistently deviates from the beaten path. For David, Keep Searching is a way of life.

Planning your next camping adventure or spur-of-the-moment weekend getaway? At the ABF in Hanover, in collaboration with our partner Autohaus KAHLE GmbH & Co. KG, we were able to put together a great customer experience that left all attendees inspired to get out and explore. Visitors discovered innovative ways to transform a Volkswagen T6.1 California, Amarok and ID. Buzz into a full-fledged camper or adventure vehicle. Equipped with our roof racks, roof top tents, intelligent storage solutions and many more action-packed accessories, these vehicles captured the imagination of every adventurer. We're excited for more incredible collaborations with Autohaus KAHLE GmbH & Co. KG and extend our gratitude to all the visitors at the booth!
