At Overlanding RV Accessories, we believe in building trust with our readers by being 100% transparent about how we operate, how we earn money, and how we create content. Our mission is simple: to help outdoor enthusiasts, campers, travelers, and overlanders discover the best gear, tools, and accessories to make every journey safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable.
To maintain our website, fund new content, and continue testing gear in real-life adventures, we sometimes use affiliate partnerships, most notably with Amazon.com and other outdoor gear retailers. Below, we’ll explain what this means, why it matters, and how it impacts you as a visitor to our site.
What Is an Affiliate Disclaimer?
An affiliate disclaimer is a statement that lets readers know that we may earn a commission when they purchase products through links on our site. In short, when you click on certain links within our buyer’s guides, reviews, or blog posts, and you make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer.
This does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay for the product remains the same whether you click our link or go directly to the retailer’s website.
Affiliate programs are a common way for websites, blogs, and online publishers to earn revenue while providing valuable content — and we are committed to being upfront about it.
Amazon Associates Program
Overlanding RV Accessories is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
This means that many of the links you see on our site that point to Amazon are affiliate links. When you buy through these links, we may earn a commission.
Why Do We Use Affiliate Links?
Running a website like Overlanding RV Accessories requires ongoing investment:
- Hosting fees and website maintenance
- Content creation (research, writing, editing, and publishing)
- Product testing and reviews
- Professional photography, design, and tools
- Time spent researching gear and updating content
Affiliate commissions help us cover these costs while keeping our content free for you to access. Instead of charging visitors for access to guides and reviews, we rely on these small commissions to fund our work.
How We Choose Products
One of the most important things to know is that affiliate partnerships do not influence our product choices, reviews, or opinions.
Here’s how we select products for our buyer’s guides and reviews:
- Real-World Testing – We test many of the products we recommend in actual overlanding and camping scenarios.
- Expert Research – When hands-on testing isn’t possible, we rely on verified user reviews, expert opinions, and trusted manufacturer data.
- Value & Reliability – We only recommend products that meet our high standards for durability, functionality, and overall usefulness in outdoor adventures.
- Independence – No company can pay us for a “positive review” or to appear in our top picks list.
Our goal is always to provide recommendations we would personally trust on our own trips.
Your Trust Comes First
We understand that your trust is more valuable than any commission. That’s why:
- We disclose affiliate links clearly and openly.
- We never recommend products just because they pay higher commissions.
- We update our content regularly to reflect new products, market changes, and user feedback.
By being upfront about our affiliate relationships, we ensure that you always know how this site is supported financially.
Benefits of Supporting Us
When you click on our affiliate links and make a purchase, here’s what happens:
- You pay the same price you normally would.
- We earn a small commission from the retailer.
- That commission helps us keep the website running, test more gear, and create more in-depth guides.
It’s a win-win: you get honest gear recommendations, and we get the support we need to keep providing valuable content.
Other Affiliate Partnerships
While Amazon is our primary affiliate partner, we may also work with other outdoor gear retailers, RV suppliers, and overlanding brands. These partnerships operate in the same way: if you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Regardless of the retailer, our approach to reviews and recommendations never changes. We maintain the same level of independence and transparency across all affiliate programs.
Legal & Compliance Notes
We comply with FTC guidelines for affiliate disclosures. This means that whenever there’s a product link that may earn us a commission, we make it clear to you. Transparency is not just an ethical choice — it’s also a legal requirement, and one we take seriously.
Final Words
At Overlanding RV Accessories, our goal is not just to review gear, but to be your trusted companion on your outdoor adventures. Affiliate income allows us to keep producing unbiased, high-quality content while staying independent and free from outside influence.
We’re grateful for your support — whether it’s through clicking an affiliate link, subscribing to our newsletter, or simply sharing our content with friends and fellow travelers. Every little bit helps us continue doing what we love: exploring the outdoors and helping others do the same.
