The Ultimate Overlanding Storage Upgrade for Truck Campers

MOLLE (pronounced mall-aye) stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment. Originally developed for military use, a Molle Panel is a rugged grid system. It was traditionally made from fabric but is now built with aluminum or steel that lets you securely attach gear, bags, and tools.

For truck campers and overlanding rigs, Molle Panels are a game-changer. They maximize storage, improve organization, and keep essential gear within easy reach no matter where the road takes you.

Why MOLLE Panels are Essential for Overlanding & Campers

When you’re traveling in a pop-up camper like the Tune M1, every inch of space matters. A Molle Panel helps you:

  • Stay organized – Mount tools, first aid kits, and accessories right where you need them.
  • Save valuable space – Free up interior storage while keeping gear secure.
  • Access gear quickly – Perfect for recovery gear, flash lights, and essentials on the trail.
  • Customize layouts – Adapt your setup for camping, work, or long overland trips.

Common MOLLE Panel Uses in Truck & Pop-Up Campers

The versatility of Molle Panels makes them ideal for overlanding and camping setups. Here are some practical applications:

  • Emergency kits – First aid, fire extinguishers, and roadside gear.
  • Recovery tools – Shovels, straps, and flashlights for off-road adventures.
  • Camping gear – Cooking supplies, headlamps, and even portable showers.
  • Personal items – Speakers, dog gear, or anything you need quick access to.

The Best MOLLE Panel Mounting Accessories

You can mount gear with paracord or rope, but specialized accessories make Molle Panels even more effective:

  • Quick Fist Clamps – Secure flashlights, small shovels, or Devos lights.
  • Modal Straps – Lightweight, durable straps with 70lb pull strength—great for speakers, pet gear, and camp essentials.
  • Voile Straps – Belt-style ski straps repurposed for overlanding. These are ideal for heavy or awkward gear.
