Wow! Thats a real bummer. Hope you’re ok. Yes definitely before entering we’ll check it out! Thanks for the heads up. Did you not have a temporary import permit for your vehicle?

initially we were thinking of skipping it do to the cost of shipping our vehicle there but we might go there next spring and just rent a local car there instead, although that feels like cheating. No, we don’t have a carnet for the truck. My understanding is that it isn’t needed for Europe...

The result of this 90 day limitation, in IMHO, is that less well known European countries will probably get the short end of the visitation stick. For us, we would have gladly extended our European stay, overwintering in Southern Europe but instead will leave. I do find it interesting that some...

Beautiful Belgium easily exceeded our expectations! The architecture, the people the pastries, chocolate and beer. With no expectations, the history and beauty of this small country has blown us away. Typical street in Ypres, Belgium Initial research told us that wild camping is illegal in...

Thank you! We were hoping to go to New Zealand this winter while avoiding running afoul of Europe’s 90 day visitation restrictions, vis-à-vis their Schengen Agreement. But it looks like they won’t be opening up their country until next summer. So this winters plan are still an open switch.

In the end, we decided to do a roll-on roll-off shipping from Baltimore to Liverpool, England. This was due to shipping in a container of $4000 versus $2200 for ro-ro. Also we felt that the risks of our truck being damaged or things being stolen was minimal on a trip from the US to the UK...

Thank you all for the kind words. Here’s an undoubtably rough outline of our route

After two years of planning and 11 months of full-time truck living in the US and Baja, my wife and I shipped our highly modified Toyota Tacoma to Europe to begin what will hopefully be a five year drive around the world going through roughly 100 countries. Our truck at Kinderdijk, Netherlands...

We are traveling with our original title as it was a US customs requirement in order to ship it to Europe. Copies would not have worked. It is kept in a hidden, locked box bolted through the floor

Thank you all. We went with Tourinsure.de as they were a bit cheaper than Alessie. Here’s Alessie’s rates for anyone who’s interested: “Premium indication for drivers/riders over 25 years of age for Third Party Liability insurance: The first month Euro 259 and each consecutive month Euro 105...

Driving around southern Africa now...

No I appreciate any advice, thanks! We’ve been in communication with Clements but didn’t know about they have such mixed reviews. Checking out Geico International as well.

Hi My wife and I have been living and traveling the US in our Toyota Tacoma with a Four Wheel Camper Fleet for the past 10 months waiting for the world travel to open. We are shipping our vehicle to the UK and are looking for recommendations for an auto insurance company for the UK and the EU...

After over a year old planning and building, my wife and I sold our house and have been living in our truck for the past six months secluding ourselves in the wilds of the Western US. Hopefully the world will start to open enough to allow us to ship our truck to Europe this summer where we'll...

I would also add that I chose a Tacoma because It came with a manual tranny, yeah I’m old school and like the control. Also it was important to buy a truck that has not had a major recent overhaul. I’d rather have one that’s a little behind the times rather than one that’s on the bleeding edge

I chose a Tacoma instead of a full-size PU to take my wife and I around the world starting this May. It was due to its worldwide dealer Network even if they have no direct experience with Tacoma’s, reputation for reliability, and it’s track which matches other mid-size trucks and vehicles found...

you have a nice looking truck. Yes, it is easy to get overweight quickly. We like the fleet flatbed it is the same configuration as the full-size hawk but just 4 inches narrower and 1/2” shorter in height. If we were sticking to North America we would be riding in a full-size 3/4 ton truck but...

will do. The dealer is being very slow, starting to get worried. Actually left him a message today.

Just saying you might want to put the price here on Ex Ped

sorry for the slow reply. We’ve purchased them and they’re waiting the seat brackets at Valley hybrids in Stockton, CA. Ward Harris of LRA Automotive is the supplier of the seats. We ordered the Vario F seats which we found to be super comfortable. Happy to give you an update once installed...
