Choosing vehicle storage & camp systems means solving two different problems: keeping gear enclosed and dry, or stopping loose cargo from sliding around. The right pick depends on whether your setup needs a dry box, how much container space you want, and whether the load lives in a pickup bed. These four choices make that split clear without treating a cargo net and a storage case as interchangeable.
Quick take
- A dry box fits enclosed gear storage, while the mesh cargo net is aimed at holding loose pickup-bed cargo in place.
- The three boxes use different named capacities: 53, 95, and 117 quarts. The net is an open, elastic format rather than a container.
- The listed prices cover a wide range, so the main decision is whether your use case calls for enclosed storage or simple load control.

Product notes
Overland Vehicle Systems Dark Gray D.B.S. 117 Quart Waterproof Dry Storage Box
Choose the Overland Vehicle Systems Dark Gray D.B.S. 117 Quart Waterproof Dry Storage Box when a 117-quart enclosed container is the central requirement. The description adds a drain and bottle opener, while the attributes list two locking points; those are useful touches for an overland camp setup. Dark Gray is the stated color. The limitation is price: at $265.49, this box is $112.50 above the 53-quart D.B.S. model. That gap matters when the smaller box already matches the amount of gear you plan to carry. This is a fit for shoppers prioritizing the named 117-quart capacity rather than a lower-cost storage brief.
Overland Vehicle Systems Dark Gray D.B.S. 53 Quart Waterproof Dry Storage Box
The Overland Vehicle Systems Dark Gray D.B.S. 53 Quart Waterproof Dry Storage Box keeps the D.B.S. concept in a different named capacity. Its description identifies a waterproof dry box with a drain and built-in stainless steel bottle opener, and the attributes list two locking points. That makes it a clear match for enclosed gear storage when 53 quarts is the target. At $152.99, it is $113.00 above the cargo net and $112.50 below the 117-quart box. Its limitation is the 53-quart capacity itself: shoppers seeking the 117-quart format will need a different box. The title also gives this choice a straightforward product description without adding a separate configuration claim.
Overland Vehicle Systems 95 Quart Dry Storage Box, Overland Storage Case, Off Ro
The Overland Vehicle Systems 95 Quart Dry Storage Box, Overland Storage Case, Off Ro is the case-style choice among the enclosed storage listings. Its description focuses on protecting gear from the elements, while the attributes list a gray color and dimensions of 16.81 inches high by 18.31 inches long. Use those listed measurements when planning available cargo space, without treating either number as a performance score. At $299.99, it is $34.50 above the 117-quart box. The limitation is the highest listed price in this comparison, despite the title naming 95 quarts rather than 117.
New Elastic Pickup Truck Cargo Net Heavy Duty Mesh Bed Organizer Camping Storage
The New Elastic Pickup Truck Cargo Net Heavy Duty Mesh Bed Organizer Camping Storage addresses a different problem from the dry boxes: keeping loose pickup-bed cargo from sliding or falling during transit. Its description names high-elasticity yarn and a multi-twisted weave, with shape recovery as a stated benefit. At $39.99, it is $260 below the $299.99 case. The concrete limitation is its format: mesh cargo control is open, so it does not provide the enclosed waterproof or dry-box storage named by the other choices. Pick it when securing a load matters more than enclosing camping gear.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a 117-quart waterproof dry box: choose the Overland Vehicle Systems Dark Gray D.B.S. 117 Quart Waterproof Dry Storage Box.
- For a 53-quart D.B.S. container: choose the Overland Vehicle Systems Dark Gray D.B.S. 53 Quart Waterproof Dry Storage Box.
- For a 95-quart storage case: choose the Overland Vehicle Systems 95 Quart Dry Storage Box, Overland Storage Case, Off Ro.
- For pickup-bed load control: choose the New Elastic Pickup Truck Cargo Net Heavy Duty Mesh Bed Organizer Camping Storage.
The key distinction is format, not just size: the three Overland Vehicle Systems choices are dry storage boxes, while the elastic cargo net is designed to keep an open load from moving.
