Here are my travel favorites, which I am currently following in more detail: From a current Transafrica (Western route), to the current Silk Road with Russia & Iran, Panamericana to trips within Europe. Article: Vlog - Newsroom: Current bush radio #1 The short version of the respective...

beautiful!!

Very nice! How much is it? // Edit: looks this isnt for sell, this is a manufacture who sells such sprinter builds. From the FAQ Page: Not so bad the pricing. trippin

We all know our discussions about the use of the Ecoflow River Pro as a electricity concept and battery setup in our rigs, to save weight and space. I did use this Setup for the last years, what was strong enough for fridge, notebook, smartphones, drone and even for charging my ebike during my...

Shortly before the holidays I read about a new app (for me) - Magic Earth. Curious as I am, I sighed at first (not yet an app) - but then downloaded the (free) app anyway. I'm still completely amazed - what the little helper can do. The "Magic Earth" app has the potential to take over or...

It is maintenance free. VB is available too in many countrys worldwide. It did change a lot, as we dont sleep inside anymore - now we sleep on top. There you recognize any angle much much more ;-) trippin

My Land Cruiser did have active height control - but this is for adjust the height of the vehicle not the balance. So I did see a lot of the world, just with using wood or rocks for balancing the vehicle. My new rig has an aftermarked upgraded full VB air suspension and it can do "autolevel"...

You can buy a laptop with WAN Modem (3G/4G/LTE) who brings often (not have to) a GPS Receiver with it. Or you can buy an external GPS Device. They are mostly wireless & will works via Bluethooth. Now you need a software like FreeGPS who is able to use/connect to the external GPS Receiver...

That was our luck I guess. Two missed swiss tourists would have caused unwanted publicity. And true, the call could too had an bad impact if the police would have reached us - soon enough and not afterwards of the operation... trippin

After our Trans-Africa and South America trip, I had taken a more relaxed view of the topic of "safety on the road", at least for our overlanding trips within Europe. Of course, we prepared for eventualities, thought through possible incidents and our possible reactions to them. I would never...

The travel destination really dont matters. I can see overlander/vanlifers getting stuck on grass meadows in switzerland or at sand at spain. If you life in your van, and if you like to sleep remote from time to time, you can get stuck in your homecountry too. A 4x4 enables you to get the...

We had a wonderful off-road adventure in Thailand. It's been quite a while, but while rummaging through my data I stumbled across photos and our travel diary - and have incorporated this into a travelogue. The country offers a lot, apart from fords, rivers, dusty and muddy tracks. We were there...

Thank you for you detailed writeup! I love your setup! You still could too use toilet bags from the foldable toilets, if you dont want to clean it afterwars - for shorter trips. trippin

So true! I`am currently selling this above rig, because our family is growing - and with more than 2 People this travel-setup above dont fits anymore. What is the outcome of above writeup in the first post? I will have to try to keep my next travel vehicle more lightweight, for beeing able...

Yes, we all should try to stay more basic: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/recap-mods-i-wouldn-t-do-again-for-overlanding.229126/ trippin

Another french overlander got jailed in 2020 in iran because of using a drone. We Overlander should avoid to fly them there. Specially if we do carry a passport labeled with one of those (military) actors against the 'axis of e...' Jailed for 8 Years, 8 Months - that is pretty long term...

Here is my answer from another thread - who is valid here too: the driving comfort, driving security, camp comfort, sleep comfort, spares availability - all that counts. Also when I did see a old VW Beetle with a trailer on a real worldtour (transafrica, panamericana, australia and the...

I received a belated Christmas present from myself, an Ecoflow River Mini Wifi. I hereby announce a small Review - but I still need some time for it. If you have any test scenarios, just let me know here in the forum, via PM, or directly via blog. Key data 210 WH battery Charging via power...

For that purpose you can also directly use an 12v Oven?! https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/really-a-12v-oven.228891/
