I am very proud of the diligent border officials who try to restrict the number of weapons getting into Canada. There are already far too many firearms around.

Having been on the road since 2010 in some of these places I suggest you first think about what you really need. How big you want your bed,dinette, kitchen, shower (trust me you want one) to be, what range you think you need (500 miles minimum) etc. The you will get your cabin size and payload...

In Provincial or National Parks you can only camp on official campgrounds. On Crown Land (similar to BLM) dispersed camping is legal. There are lots of Forestry Service sites and other primitive campsites. Use Park finder or similar apps. Right now Banff, Jasper and Yoho NP are pretty full. We...

Great trip to our backyard. We live in Canmore

Have you ever been to SA? I have been since 2014 and nothing was stolen. I met a family traveling with a trailer in Bolivia. They had been on the road for several years and were happy with their setup

If you travel in colder climate condensation is an issue. FWC and ATC are great for dry and warm weather but have much less insulation and lots of thermal bridges compared to other campers like Hallmark, Northstar or Overland Explorer. Toilet: We have a Porta Potty for the night. In another...

You can find them at Reimo https://www.reimo.com/en/suche/#%2029303 . They have a US dealer http://www.reimoamericas.com/reimo-parts-sales.html

I ended up not buying the battery booster. My truck has a 400 W inverter and when driving I use the 110 V outlet and my 15 A AC battery charger to charge the house battery. This works just fine. Unfortunately we have a lot of experience with wet weather. Initially there was some leakage at the...

Great post. In 2012 we shipped our Camper to South Africa and spend about 9 months in SA, Nam, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and the small countries in between. We particularly liked Kaokoland and Botswana. Your report brings back all the memories. We will go back. There is only one cure for...

I had hardside campers with composite foam panels, a pop up camper with uninsulated soft sides and barely insulated aluminum frame (FWC Hawk) and now have a pop up camper with composite foam panels and insulated soft side (Overland Explorer Camp X). We live in Canada and are camping during 3...

Talk to these guys https://overlandex.com/. They do custom builds. Here https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/new-expedition-camper-overland-explorer.173413/page-17#post-2508076 you can see an example.

There are pictures on their website overlandex.com and on the website of their US dealer. They show my unit. The 2019 version with the new and lighter roof has not been revealed yet. On their Facebook page I have recently seen a picture of their new interior. The beach seat can be converted in a...

Here a few theories about what may have caused the OPs oil problem. I understand that the Taco got stuck on a fairly steep hill and that the engine was turned off for about 10 minutes. In this case the oil pump doesn't circulate the oil anymore and it flows back following gravity. This may...

Check out the the CampX https://overlandex.com/. Great quality and it has insulated soft sides.

I just spent several months at altitudes between 3500 and 5000 m (11.000 to 15.000 ft) in SA. I had no issues with my Dometic windows nor did I meet any other Overlander who had issues no matter who made his windows. I agree however that the Dometic windows are poor quality especially the bug...

Sorry mistake. It isn't camshaft but crankshaft of course

I have two rigs, one with an Engel 90 l front opening fridge and one with a 56 l Indel chest style top opening fridge. My Engel uses about 60-70 Ah per day, my Indel about 30 Ah per day at 30 c. This is very similar to what you observed or expect. The difference in my view has nothing to do with...

I understand your engine was originally used in Camrys and may not have been designed with offroad use in mind. This may be the source of your problems. I know the Land Rover initially had problems assuring proper lubrication when they put the Ford Transit engine into the Defender. In the...

I have been traveling on and of in 3rd world countries since the early 80s. Since 2010 we traveled about 4-5 months per year in Africa and Latin America with our RV. In all those years my Camper was broken in twice: Once on the supposedly guarded parking lot of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao...

Is anyone seriously considering doing long washboard (corrugated) tracks or rocky tracks with these sportscar tires? They look like /55 at best. How do you deflate them?
