The little country of Andorra Central square of Andorra La Vella, Andorra’s capital Wild camping was simple throughout the region, with a multitude of remote spots available. We felt that we had definitely found a theme though. Our best Park4Night spots often seemed to be up corkscrew winding...

Unfortunately we drove right by it on the ocean road. ☹️

France - (Central and South) After leaving the beautiful Italian alps we headed west to the Chamonix/Mt Blanc area of eastern France First night in France - woke up to snow on the ground! Love the soft sound of it hitting the roof Chamonix - classic mountain town. Someday we will return to...

Hi there! To be honest we haven’t spent much time thinking of that since thats a couple of years in the future for us. However, we plan shipping the truck in a container from the Port of Valparaíso, Chile to Sidney, Austrialia Good luck!

I believe we arrived in Italy on that pass. It had quite the curves and magnificent views!

Italy (well really mostly just the Dolomites) So gorgeous! A place we would like to return to someday for an exended stay. Around every corner, another stunning view. We just had to keep stopping and taking photos. Hike into Pragser Wildsee It reminded us of where we brought our kids up -...

Austria Austria contrasted impressive mountain vistas with stately historic cities. The scenery was beautiful but the culture more restrictive than we had been used to with prohibitive wild camping rules and relatively expensive food and gas. We purchased the required toll pass sticker as soon...

Slovenia We only spent four days driving through Slovenia and didn’t do it justice. We also had to get to Zurich to fly back to the US for a family wedding (we booked the flight six months ago, just picked a big city where we thought we could find secure parking for the truck). Slovenia had...

Be happy to meet up with you. We’ll be bouncing around Portugal for about a week, where are you located?

That’s too funny! The world is indeed small. We were traveling through there on 27 November headed towards Andorra. Yeah we would’ve happily have chatted with you

Well thank you for liking our thread. We enjoy it when people get something out of it. Sounds like you have similar likes to us. Of the 38 countries that we have been to so far we have had four favorites; Norway, Romania, Iceland, and Albania. All of them have mountain beauty as the main theme...

Don’t know if you’re still in the area but theres a wonderful slot canyon, Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Gulch slot canyons in the Dry Fork area of Escalante, Utah that are simply spectacular

Albania Making our way to a wild camping spot outside of Theth, in the background, the Accursed Mountains We had no idea what to expect of Albania but were outstandingly and positively surprised on every front. It may have helped that we arrived in fall after the travel season, but the wild...

Funny, we also met family in Croatia and did the airbnb thing. Dormitor was indeed wonderful. We get asked alot what our favorite places to visit and Albania was definitely one of top two (out of 20) countries we’ve visited this year, the other being Iceland. Would highly recommend putting...

Montenegro Montenegro was fanstastic. We entered coming down the coast from Croatia, and immediately felt just a little more relaxed. Montenegro shares gorgeous turquoise coast line with Croatia, ancient walled cities and forts and stunning national parks. But it is less crowded and developed...

Croatia Our Croatia story is largely different than our others to date as it is dominated by time off from truck life to enjoy family and friends. Our decision to sell our house, buy a camper truck and go on the road was a scary leap. We could never have done it without the encouragement and...

I’d do the break ins one at a time. With the TRD brake pads that installed they were very particular about following the break in. If not, the pads may not be seated properly. I believe it was 10 hard, repeated stops without coming to a complete stop and never keep the brake petal depressed...

Funny, just last night I pulled out the plywood pullout for the bed to see how much it weighed, about 15 lbs or so. I figured I could replace it with a composite panel such as: https://www.carbon-core.com/product/veneered-panels-sheets/. These panels in 1/2" thickness are 20 lbs per 4'*8'...

Yes, my Tacoma version ( a 2019 TRD Sport) has the upgraded 8.75” differential which I believe is the same as used by the Hilux. The normal size 8.0”. Also installing the braided brake lines improved braking feel. I installed front and rear ARB locking diffs as well as 5.29 gears. The rear diff...

We have pretty much the same rig as you; FWC flatbed fleet with a Norweld flatbed. We also worked hard at minimizing the weight; no skid plates, aluminium front bumper, near stock tires, synthetic rope, etc. We have 75,000 trouble-free (fingers crossed) miles on ours after 2 years of full-time...
