Zarges, Pelican, Hardigg and the like all work well. They are available in a variety of sizes so they can be fitted for the items and or the rack/storage space. Jim

A Tilley and several Stetsons made for LL Bean (seconds), imagine the hat band full of flys. And a Borsalino when the expedition is up town. Jim

I do have a bias for the BMW Dakar, but right there with it is the KLR 650. The advantage of both is that there is much aftermarket support to configure the bike however you want. Another to consider is the DR650. The DR is the best dirt bike of the three, but less refined on pavement...

$52K and the small issue of convincing US customs to let it in the country, it not being 25 years old.

Lectric Motorcycles They are sort of interesting. But if you can only go 50 or 60 miles on a charge that's hardly enough to justify putting all the gear on and getting the bike out of the garage.

Commercial Disco A couple of years ago Land Rover World or Land Rover Enthusiast had an article on the commercial version of the Disco. I bet a search of their archives would turn up the issue, which they would glad to sell you if your really interested.

IIRC when Earthroamer first entered the market they offered the LV with the choice of the F450 or 550, the 450 option quickly disappeared. To Charlie's point. Jim

Ah the joys of penny tech. Thanks for sharing. Jim

If all the DOT/EPA paper work is in order then there is no problem. If its not... Most of the G-wagens that are here gas and diesel are legal and were brought in by a registered importer and federalized. But some weren't so when looking at any gray market vehicle its always good to see the...

I may have missed something, but how do you have the drawer box restrained in case you really bite it and roll the thing over?

I remember a discussion regarding Totterhomes (campers built on a heavy truck chassis) at RV.net regarding how if the vehicle was registered as an RV, you didn't need a CDL. Of course the professional truckers on the thread thought that was a hoot.

Tax write off My recollection is, to be eligible to write off the interest as a second home, an RV (or boat) must be self contained, meaning that a toilet and possibly a shower is needed. And I don't believe porta-potties count. Jim
