Rover Vans Tactical Gear Box
Now standard with a Large Tactical Panel and Adjustable Shelf — a $300 bundle savings.
The Rover Vans Tactical Gear Box is built for serious exterior storage. Designed for adventure vans, overland builds, and demanding everyday use, it gives you a secure, weather-resistant place to carry recovery gear, tools, camping equipment, riding gear, and other essentials while keeping valuable interior space open.
Built from all-aluminum construction with TIG-welded sides, the Rover Gear Box combines low weight, strength, premium hardware, and a durable exterior finish engineered for years of exposure to the elements.
It is designed to integrate directly with Rover Vans Tire Carrier + Ladder systems and Accessory Racks, while also offering compatibility with many accessory rack systems from other manufacturers.
Premium Elesa Locking Hardware
Rover storage boxes use premium Elesa locking compression latches engineered for secure, long-term exterior use. Built with durable zinc-alloy and reinforced components, the latches feature an IP65-rated design to resist dust and water exposure.
The compression mechanism pulls the door firmly against the weather seal for a tight, secure closure, while the locking handle and protective dust cover add security and durability.
Premium components matter—that’s why Rover selects hardware for performance and longevity, not simply the lowest cost.
Built for Real-World Adventure
The Rover Tactical Gear Box is designed to carry the equipment you don't want taking up space inside your van.
Use it for:
- Recovery equipment
- Tools and spare parts
- Camping gear
- Riding and outdoor equipment
- Cooking equipment
- Electrical accessories
- General overland storage
The integrated weather seal helps protect your equipment from dust, moisture, and the elements, while the locking Elesa hardware keeps your gear securely enclosed.
Large Tactical Panel + Adjustable Shelf Included
Every Rover Tactical Gear Box now comes standard with:
- Large Tactical Panel
- Adjustable Interior Shelf
Together, these previously optional components represent a $300 bundle savings.
The adjustable shelf makes it easier to organize smaller items and divide the interior storage space around your gear.
Vertical mounting note: The adjustable shelf must be removed when the box is mounted vertically.
Flexible Mounting Options
The Rover Gear Box can be installed horizontally or vertically, giving you flexibility based on your van, rack system, and storage configuration.
It is designed to work with:
- Rover Vans Accessory Racks
- Rover Vans Tire Carrier + Ladder systems by replacing the spare tire position with the Gear Box
- Many third-party rear-door accessory rack systems
That flexibility makes the Tactical Gear Box an easy addition to both new Rover-equipped builds and existing adventure vans.
Premium Aluminum Construction
Rover Gear is engineered for long-term use—not simply to look good on the day it's installed.
The Tactical Gear Box features all-aluminum construction with TIG-welded sides, providing excellent strength and durability without the unnecessary weight and structural rust concerns associated with steel boxes.
Rover also uses carefully selected automotive-grade, OEM-quality hardware and mounting components with protective anti-corrosion coatings for strength, reliability, and long-term exposure to rain, snow, road spray, salt, dirt, and the elements.
From the box itself to the latch, fasteners, seals, and mounting hardware, each component is selected with long-term performance in mind.
Advanced Powder-Coat Process
A durable finish starts long before the powder is applied.
Each Rover Tactical Gear Box is metal blasted and thoroughly prepared prior to powder coating, helping improve coating adhesion and long-term durability.
We use premium powder-coating materials engineered for exterior exposure and backed by our industry-leading 10-year no-fade finish warranty.
Unlike cost-driven exterior storage products that can begin fading, corroding, or showing premature wear after only a few seasons, Rover Gear is built and finished for years outdoors.
Industry-Leading Warranty
We build Rover Gear for the long haul, and we stand behind it.
Every Rover Tactical Gear Box is backed by:
- 5-Year Product Warranty
- 10-Year No-Fade Finish Warranty
Because premium exterior storage should still look good and perform the way it should years after installation.

Designed by Van People, for Van People
Rover products are designed around how adventure vans are actually used.
Exterior storage has to do more than hold gear. It has to survive vibration, road spray, weather, dirt, repeated opening and closing, and thousands of miles of travel.
That's why we pay attention to more than the box itself. From the aluminum construction and powder-coat preparation to the Elesa locking hardware, seals, and automotive-grade fasteners, the entire system is designed around long-term performance.
Better materials. Better hardware. Better protection. Built the Rover way.

I’m happy to give a shout out to VanLife Outfitters. These folks are an incredible example of how a company should conduct business. Although I’m building a truck camper, I have bought several things from VanLife outfitters and their customer service is bar none . I would never hesitate recommending VanLife outfitters to anyone whether they are building a van camper or boat. And I might add even a tiny home. Everyone that I’ve talked to have been nothing but incredible. In particular, Jason in technical support was an incredible blessing to me. I had a problem with the Aqua Hot Gen 1 heater I bought from them. It was not the heater fault, but something I did. Jason helped bird-dog the solution and together we got it fixed. He stuck with me, did research, and called me back several times to make sure that the problem was resolved. These people know the business, many have their on rigs, which gives them the best experience. Thanks you Vanlife Outfitters!!!!

My husband and I are doing our first vanbuild. As rookies, we have found Vanlife Outfitters to be a trusted resource for ease of product shopping and purchasing, video demonstrations, guidance and excellent customer service. They were particularly a great one-stop shop when building our electrical system.
