    This Big Road Trip

    We have another blog post up in our site - a unique glimpse into a time gone by. A village. Hidden away, securely, in the Colombian Andes. We heard about a fabled community, had an interview with an elder and, by some stroke of luck they decided to let us in. A simply astonishing place. An...

    Haha, thanks. You, must love the random stuff! I have struggled with video. Photos are so much less stress and take way less time to look good. Videos are super hard so we never really bothered. I have just purchased a bunch of video stuff and we want to do more. I need to fire off the Central...

    Yes, we got hold of them in Medellin. We didn’t need them, our existing tires had quite a bit left on them, but it is was both easier and far cheaper than trying to find them further south so we swapped them out. 18’s are not easy (but not impossible) to find after Mexico. We got Yokohama M/T...

    New video available now. After getting 'stuck' in the wonderful Guiamaro Campsite for a few weeks we felt a short break was in order. We headed through the Santander backroad trails, through pineapple, papaya, coffee and tobacco fields, right into the heart of the Chicamocha Canyon. Street...

    The La Guajira region in Colombia. A true no man's land at the peak of South America. Ignored by the Spanish invaders and current governments of both Colombia and neighboring Venezuela. Our latest blog post details our journey to Punta Gallinas, the most northerly point in Southerner's America...

    Warning. This has nothing to do with rock crawling, trail hunting, camp cook outs or avoiding civilization. It is, however, a day in our lives on the Pan American. It follows on from the blog post above on Truckpacking. Where long term overland travel on the Pan American has morphed from...

    SOLD - 2006 Ram 3500 w/ 5.9 Cummins (27,500 miles) + very lightly used late 2015 XPCamper

    A little over 6 metres. 6.3m I think? Or 6.4m. This one is the Crew Cab , obviously, but with the long wheel base. The short wheels base versions have the same size camper, but it hangs over the back a little more. You can spot those quickly because the rear flatbed box is quite long. But, if...

    The XP's used the Dual Top Evo 6. They dabbled in an Esbar (I think) but the service requirement and location were not a good fit. The new Nimbl Evolution has a couple of changes form the XP. One being they went back to Webasto but instead of the Dual Top, they use a separate water heater and...

    SOLD - 2006 Ram 3500 w/ 5.9 Cummins (27,500 miles) + very lightly used late 2015 XPCamper

    I haven't. We have been to just under -0c and it was way too hot because we didn't realize how efficient the Webasto heater is. It got to just under 30º in the camper and we kept having too turn it down. We have friends that use their XP for snowmobiling during the winter and they spend a lot of...

    Thanks, I will look into it and edit the post. Those were the two brands XP used to use but its highly possible the original camper owner added it.
