How to Stock Your ReconRig for Long-Term Off-Grid Survival

Written By Christina

Here’s what we include to get you started—and what you should consider adding to complete your off-grid readiness.

What We Build Into Every Rig

Shell & Structure
We start with solid bones. Your rig includes a reinforced chassis, upgraded axles, custom hatches, and structural welding designed to endure off-road terrain and long-term deployment.

Exterior Armor & Mobility
Many of our customers opt for IronHide™ ballistic paneling and DynoTrek™ off-road upgrades. We also offer features like spare tire mounts, exo-racks, and ladders to make mobility secure and flexible.

Exterior Design
From polished finishes to stealth matte black paint, window installations, and gear mounts—your rig’s look and function are fully customizable.

Electrical & Plumbing Infrastructure
Every rig comes solar-ready with electrical wiring, lithium battery banks, fresh and grey water tanks, and on-demand water systems to keep you powered and hydrated without relying on the grid.

Security & Surveillance
We offer remote-entry systems, perimeter cameras, and threat-detection sensors so you can monitor your environment even when you're miles from civilization.

TargetArm System
For advanced builds, we offer integration with RALAR, a tactical drone launch and recovery system for real-time aerial support and surveillance.

Interior Finishes
We build kitchens, showers, beds, storage, and workstations with off-grid functionality and comfort in mind.
