Post number 2 on this topic at http://www.wildcamping.co.uk/forums/photo-gallery/45877-abenteuer-allrad-show-pics.html?highlight=#post538422 has a picture of the camping area taken by the drone. Click on the thumbnail for full size - shows about half of the total number camped.

Amazing camp area. Chock-a-block full in every corner of every possible space anywhere within hundreds of metres of the entrance. Just not possible to get a shot of more than a small section of the camp. Vehicles parked even on slopes you wouldn't consider for parking let alone living in...

Not always and especially if it is in the trunk. Apparently some people are genetically unable to smell the odourant mercaptin so that is another reason to heed the commonsense suggestion to only transport propane tanks upright and in the open air or in an enclosure vented appropriately outside...

You will get all sorts of answers, but generally it is wise to have a catastrophe fuse as close to the source of any unregulated current as possible. Problem with major loads like the winch is that is hard to discriminate between a legitimate current draw and fault current which goes to explain...

Few days ago they were at the top of the Bight - about half-way across, but about 2/3 the way across in driving distance so far http://4wdaus.com/index.php/justabout/147-justabout-20150417

Speakers subjects at http://www.abenteuer-allrad.de/en/series-of-lectures At least one is in English - if making movies is your thing. The other four titles are not in English so imagine the lecture will not be either. "For each lecture there are about 200 tickets available and can be bought...

I've owned a UK vehicle by using a friend's UK address, but since the vehicle was overseas, getting insurance wasn't an issue. I know Australians who have had problems getting insurance because they couldn't provide a UK licence with no fines over the previous two years. We have a German...

I see KCT make a deal about there windows being tested at astronomical heights, claiming some windows blow at 4000ft. My European "plastic" double pane windows aren't sealed as the inside pane has two small tubes drilled into it with some sort of valve arrangement connecting the air space with...

Andean Roads in BA were another possibility

It would be rare for anyone driving south through Peru to miss camping at Quints Lala in Cusco, so what drives in here could be considered pretty representative of "suitable Vehicles" These are the vehicles here over the last few days. Not shown are a couple of 2WD small vans...

Not really a consideration. Some countries have a countrywide limit of 50mph, and much of the rest - off the main drags anyway - have roads bad enough that 50mph will be a dream. One consideration that IS important is the ability to start the engine when it is well below freezing and at an...

Nothing to do with thermal performance, but we find the most practical solution to undesirable external noise is to mask it by making noise inside the box. Normal box fan makes a nice white noise and can do a pretty good job of reducing the nuisance. Also works if you have to have windows open...

Difference might be that those batteries under the seat either have a small vent tube that vents any fumes down through the floor, or they are "sealed" type, and that engine alternators rarely charge a start battery to anywhere near the gassing stage.

Well, except for propane tanks which can't be located outside the envelope of the vehicle. On the drawbar is OK, but hung on the rear or sides outside of the main structure is not. Always a bit of an argument, but it is also likely that having cans of gasoline hung on the back of the vehicle is...

We've been fulltiming for 7 years - in conventional motorhomes and expedition trucks and vans - and we rarely use commercial campgrounds. My experience is that it isn't the type of vehicle you have, but how much commonsense you use in choosing a location for "stealth Camping". Obviously we...

Not my vehicles, just extreme examples of what can happen - but I use a 6' lift one on my OKA truck and there are times when the beam gets a bit of a bow in it so I guess there wouldn't be much movement needed for the bow to turn into a bend. What I have had though is using one of the two OEM...

*******t does sometimes happen, but I still carry one

Nice set up and the description reads well, but as others have said, no matter how well optioned a vehicle is, it is only worth what anyone is willing to pay for it. I was once interested in Gary Wescott's Turtle IV which is even more stuffed with optional equipment and the list reads like a...

Any single skin reflective layer without added air-gap might be great for reducing the heat coming in the windows in sunny climates, but they aren't all that effective in cold climates. Cheapskate method where your RV has single pane windows is just to stretch cling film across the window...

Sorry, but I don't understand "booted" in this context. I carry Spot just to save letting family know where we are and to provide a trail on Spotwalla (which is better for my purposes than Spot's offerings because the data is there permanently) for my own benefit - needed because of failing...
