A very good friend has been traveling the Panamericana since 2016 with a 2014 F 150 single cab and a Granby. The Ford is, except for e rated tires and better shocks, completely stock. He didn't have a single technical problem with the truck so far and he definitely goes backcountry. I know...

There is no perfect rig. Any truck- camper combo is a compromise between your budget and your dreams. We can only give you some facts to help you with the decision. Weight. I have pointed out some reasons why you should aim for lower weight, but there is one absolute limit and that is the load...

Here are a few reasons why you should try to get a light rig: In our experience tire problems were by far the most important source for technical problems when traveling with our Transit. We had more than 10 flats and 2 blown tires in 145,000 km ( 90,000 miles) in Africa and Latin America. We...

Just a few comments. Unless you take a F 150 with heavy payload it won't work. We have just completed a trip from Inuvik to Ushuaia. Don't worry about stealth camping. Anything US made won't be stealth and it's not necessary. Our camper is very obviously a camper and we never had problems...

We have just completed a trip on the Panamericana from Inuvik to Ushuaia. If you have any questions please let us know.

Having owned both a Hawk and an Overlandex I think that both will do the job. If you have to deal with cool or wet weather the Overlandex camper is better. It has a better heating system with the Truma and no condensation problems because it is insulated. The Hawk has practically no insulation.

sorry Iforgot the link. Here it is: https://overlandex.com/pop-up-truck-campers

Tundra and Tacomas are not sold outside North America and 2 or 3 countries in Latin America. Toyota uses the Hilux in the ROW (Rest Of the World). The only US made truck I have seen in every country in Latin America is the F 150 which would fit your specs with heavy payload package and the 5 l...

Christian: To post pictures in this Forum is a bit complicated but I have pictures on my website http://reisephant.blogspot.com/ Comments on the other questions: I have 2 expedition vehicles, the Transit for Africa and Latin America and a 2015 F 150 with Overlandex pop up camper for North...

I currently own an European Transit AWD which I have been using in Africa and Latin America for the last 8 years and over 140.000 km. It has been exceptionally reliable and surprisingly good off road and yes I did the Baja up and down and sideways, as I did the Kalahari desert and its dunes in...

I think this http://www.exploryx.de/index.php/modelle/ would work.

Ov Overland Explorer.

I have a Truma and had other heaters before. The major difference is that the Truma is a lot quieter and much more compact.

In Europe you can get an OEM Ford Transit AWD at a very reasonable price. I have one and it works great.

A second exit is required. It can be a roof hatch or a large window. I wanted a roof hatch anyway. Still plenty of space for solar.

Check their website. They are offering a flatbed version now

S2DM I can't comment on your experience because I don't know the facts and haven't heard the other party. By the looks of it a lot has gone wrong and I am sorry for you. What I can contribute is my experience with Lite Industries/Overland Explorer. I bought their pop up camper and Marc and his...

Sorry I don't expect to be in Vancouver any time soon. We are in Brazil right now on our last trip of our Panamericana trip. We will be in Canada in June again when it gets warm in the Rockies. Overlandex planned to build a 8ft camper. You should ask them if they still do. I met quite a few...

I am glad you liked Canmore. I think the Camp X would be good for the Americas because it is very robust and well insulated. This helps in both cold and hot weather. The only question I have is whether you think it is big enough for you if you live in for a long time.

This stuff http://www.armacell.us/products/aparmaflexsaaparmaflexfssa/ has good insulation values and is flexible enough. It is often used in vans. Fibreglass without additional insulation has very little insulation value.
