Anyone who has expanded their vehicle themselves knows it perfectly and can also help themselves in an emergency. You can find out how in our OverlandACADEMY.
You can see what the vehicles can do off-road live on our off-road course. Even with the possibility of a ride.
In addition to the exhibition, the SouthsideCAMP is another highlight. Here you can see vehicles, conversions, expedition vehicles, vans and trailers from many parts of Europe. A great opportunity to exchange experiences or gather inspiration.
Here people meet at the central campfire with live music. Of course there is also catering. So it's worth making the small detour from the exhibition center to the SouthsideCAMP (approx. 5 minutes).
If you are thinking about upgrading yourself, you should take a look at the extension camp. It is located on the open-air site in the immediate vicinity of the off-road course. Private individuals present their vehicles and conversions here. The ideal meeting place to ask questions.
