Clouds! We awoke to a lovely blue sky dotted with popcorn clouds. Having grown up in the desert I knew this was an indicator of potential wild weather ahead. We decided to take advantage of the cool weather and take a short day hike up John's Canyon. The weather did indeed take a turn for...

This is pretty cool! Allan

We finished lunch, aired down, and turned west towards John's Canyon. It is a lovely 20 mile long dirt road through the red rock hugging the cliff in many places. I had been there the year prior on a short day trip and was excited to go back and spend a couple of days there. We have...

The plan was to meet up with my parents for some group camping in John's Canyon. We had decided to rendezvous at the Goosenecks of the San Juan River and then convoy into John's canyon. We hit the pavement for a few miles before taking a short diversion through the Valley of the Gods road...

Southward ho!! I don't really plan routes in advance. I will look at the map in the evening and decide where to go the next day depending on our mood. This is really the way to travel! We were heading south and it looked like we could make it nearly to the state line on dirt roads if we...

Nice build. Keep at it! You'll be out enjoying yourself in no time.

After a good night's rest.... Moab was feeling a bit too crowded for us, and the weekend was approaching(or as we call it amateur hour) so we decided to do a short bike ride and then head for the hills. We stopped at the Bar M trails for a couple of short loops. I managed to have a rare(for...

Awesome photo's Steve! Allan

We awoke..... We awoke the next morning fully refreshed and ready to start the day. I always sleep better in Fido than at home. After a quick breakfast and some french press coffee for me, and home blended tea for Sakshi, we packed up and hit the road. As we were driving out we spotted a...

We are very pleased with Fido thus far. It fits our style of travel extremely well. Particularly since we got the ride quality sorted out. I expect our traveling will accelerate possibly to the point of going full time for a year or two. Allan

The trip begins...... In the month leading up to the trip it was a frenzy of activity. Sakshi was trying to figure out how to put months worth of food into the small space allotted, (she did an admirable job), and I was checking the most important modifications off the 60 line item list of...

I just began a trip report on our recently completed 4 month vacation in FIDO here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/162410-FIDO-Expeditions-2016?p=2149243#post2149243 Allan

My wife and I have just returned from nearly 4 months on the road in our trusty Mitsubishi Fuso Camper FIDO. Our trip began in Salt Lake City and went as far south as Sedona before turning northwards. After a month we resupplied in Salt Lake and made it to the Canadian Border almost...

Here is a video I threw together featuring some footage from our just completed summer trip in FIDO. More to come. https://vimeo.com/180210828 Allan

Looking good! Congrats!

Visit Had a great visit with Lance and Michelle today on our way through town. Great to see the assembly process. The new slide on truck camper is Very nice. The whole team there were so friendly. Thanks guys! Sakshi, Allan, and Fido

WD40 on friction plates is a bad idea I would think. Glad you guys went through this before me so I can cut straight to the problem if it occurs. Best solution I can see is keep on driving!!! 😀 Allan

All packed up and ready to go. Today was departure day! We decided to camp in the driveway so that we wouldn't have to go so far if we forgot anything. The fuel tank is mounted and works well. 50 gallon capacity is going to be really really nice. I also mounted an old metal milk crate for...

Buy an older truck!

Got the shocks mounted this morning, and busy mocking up the fuel tank brackets.
