That'd be gas money to pay for the trip :D

Nice looking indeed. I screen grabbed it for everyone else so they don't have to view the video and search:

Your wife is over tents, but are the kids? A good 3 man tent and a "couples" trailer bed might be the goldilocks answer. Or kids sleep in the cap and you and the wife in the trailer.... If you go that way your options open up exponentially.

I'm with you 100%. I hate generators and certainly idling anything. I plan to "over battery" if that's a word and the high idle would be under duress as a last resort. Lots of solar on the roof and plenty of amp hours hopefully means I'll never actually need to high ilde (or genny for that...

High idle diesel and DC-DC might negate that generator need. Plus you'll have room for lots of lithium for overnight AC (etc). Might solve your dual fuel issues.

The only other thing I think I can think of is weight. Gas motor is lighter than a diesel one. Will that mess with your fore and aft weights enough to matter? Probably not but one more small consideration.

Will you take this truck into Mexico where low sulphur might be an issue? If yes, gas. If no then diesel. Because. But either will do just fine. But you know, diesel is cooler than gas and you'll be looked down upon at the campfire ;)

which is precisely why they haven't. ;) You'll pay more and they know it.

Starlink prices vary wildly. I was just in Borneo and one our guides had his house via Starlink. His cost was around $50 USD per month. So it's about pure ability to pay and competitive market. I don't have a problem with that.

Why not a 2500? Generally speaking the $$ aren't that different but the hardware you get is. On a rainy weekend that extra space will be huge. Regardless the turning radius/break over etc is a huge concern if you go on tight roads. My vote is a 2500 with 8' and call it a day. But it's not...

This spec is huge! Average 25W, Snow Melt 60W 12-48V 60W USB PD 100W+ (with Starlink USB-C to Barrel Jack Cable Accessory) no more 48v to 12v BS to manage around.

100% agreed on adding power lines, what I think needs to happen is better range which needs different battery chemistries. We talk about large fuel tanks to get longer range. Same needs to happen for batteries. IE ~400 mile range is fine but that's ideal super clean range. Not some 5MPH...

I wouldn't expect much traffic here for Fisker. It's a mall hauler not a "real" truck. Similar to a Explorer/Atlas etc in use case. Having said that capital (or more correctly servicing that capital) has got a lot harder to get and keep in the last year. Lots of companies that relied on...

Sounds like a fantastic trip. I assume the suspension bridge is Lynn Canyon and not Capilano? (pick the former not the latter). Capilano is a tourist trap, Lynn Canyon is every bit as beautiful and free.

One could argue that EarthCruiser would have filled all your operational needs above and from the outside looking in, also the financial warranty point. So as Waveslider noted, we as outsiders can't make any real assessments. 2 months ago I would have said EC was stable and would survive...

I use lists for this. Plan on PC and get rough drive times. Then on the day of, use my phone to plan the actual route with the stops. otherwise Google gets all fussy and messy. Easier to plan start to big break (lunch or hike etc) then the next stop(s). only challenge is you have to have...

I tend to use google maps but save waypoints on their own lists. You can have 100s of waypoints on a list then build a day by day on the day of and see traffic/construction etc. You can share lists with others then they build based on waypoint order in their device of choice. you can also...

The irony of using a Mr. Bean gif. Rowan Atkinson is apparently a huge Land Rover guy. Tells a story of picking up parts and being asked does he know he look a lot like that guy who plays Mr Bean :)

I live in Merino wool. Light, never stinks. Lasts forever. But $75 for a t shirt does hurt. Darn Tough for socks. 19 days in Madagascar- 1 pair of socks and 2 underwear. No stink for real.

If you have the $$ Unicat has a few options :D There is one with a SxS in a garage that lowers down like an elevator. The challenge with length vs people space vs toy space is a series of big compromises. Do I want my bed to smell like fuel? Is my road into the area so bad that a trailer...
