Thanks. l’ll check them out.

Haha that’s why I joined Guerba. We could even communicate with head office via “Telex” every 6 weeks or so.

Small world. What years did you work for Dragoman? I was with Guerba from 89 to 91. We had a seat over the cab that made into a bed. I used to love sleeping there if it wasn’t buggy. Away from the PAX and above all lighting. The stars at night in the Sahara where truly amazing. I even trained...

I worked for Guerba Expeditions. They where bought out by Intrepid. They where an amazing company focused on just Africa. We all had the same tents Back then!

Thanks for all the great advice. It is not a question of should or shouldn’t I instal air-ride, for me. After 25 years of back problems, 2 herniated discs, 2 degenerated discs and 1 back operation I need all the advantages I can get! A friend has a 917 camper already built out, with air-ride...

Thanks Roamlt. The back will come off in the first few months and a deck will be installed so I can use her as a delivery truck for my business. In a few years I’ll start the build. I live near Whistler so only a short trip over to Total Composites for the habitat. I drove a Bedford MJ across...

Thanks Joe917 and Billiebob. Any advice on where to look for new ones in Canada. Maybe in Ontario?

Hi All, I am getting very close to importing my 30 year old Ex-fire service truck from Germany. She should be arriving in Halifax in the next 4 to 6 weeks. I'm then flying out with my son and we will be driving her back to BC. She is a 1990 with 20,000km on the clock. We have already had her...

Sorry for the delay again. So after playing around in the water, we head on down the canyon. As I mentioned we were having way too much fun. We made a fatal error, letting our guard down. I should make the excuse that the night before Tess had been tossing her cookies and I was not feeling...

? More to come.

A wonderful surprise for me the next day. In researching Namibia I had read and watched youtube videos about Puros canyon. I had thought the true canyon was miles away from Puros. I should have figured out it would right here. For the next half a day we crawl through the river bed in and out of...

After lunch and a play in the sand we toy with the idea of staying here for the night, but with so much time left in the day, we decide to move on. I wish we had stayed now, this would have been an amazing place to bush camp. The next trip needs to be longer, time, never enough time...

I had hopes that we would have time to head up the Marienfluss and visit the "Fairy circles," time is too short, never enough time :-( We carry on towards Puros and driving around one of the endless wiggles in the track we spot one of the "Lone Men of Koakoland." These are sculptures that dot...

Visiting with the Himba. From Epupa Falls we start into what I think of as the real Africa. We are truly heading off the beaten track and going to places most tourists would not venture to. We heard that we may be able to get diesel at Okangwati and sure enough we can. This reminds me of how...

Part 6. Totally exhausted we arrive at Epupa Falls and it's time for a break. We are in a section of our itinerary that we purposefully left unplanned. So for the next five nights we have a general plan but nothing booked. It's my brother in-laws birthday, we are all exhausted from the last...

We get up early and on the road. We are expecting a 5 hour drive with a diversion to Sesfontein for our final fuel top up. No more fuel for the next 5 days. The roads start out well. One of the things driving here is that, so far, the road surfaces tend to be in great condition however they...

Aired back down again, good gravel, a long drive and we roll into Khowarib ready for a beer. This is the start of what I hope to be the best part of the trip for me. I have been dreaming of the Northwest for a year or so now. The further north we head the less people and civilization we see...

Part 5. Sorry for the delay in posting more. Summer is my busiest work season and with my business partner away, even more so. Our last stop in Etosha was at Olifantsrus Camp. This is the newest campsite in Etosha and has a very odd heritage for a national park. In the 80's the Namibian...

I’d love to hear about your Botswana trip (awesome photo) if you do a report. Bushlore were awesome. Much more to come and for me, the best bits. I should get time this week ?

Sitec. I'm very happy to hear you are getting the 'buzz' ? The trip was in May so we've been back for a while. I'm just slow at posting. Lot's more to come. I'm hoping to start a build in a few years, also, and am thinking of a T244 or 1017. Total Composites are based in Victoria, just a ferry...
