2016 Alps Interest

[jerome5tousand]

- jerome, I wouldn't recommend to make such a tour with a trailer. With my Jeep WK2 it was ok, but Defender 110 had to reverse a lot on the small roads and I was happy that I've left my military trailer at home.

Yeah, no plans to bring the trailer. I have an OZtent that I am using these days.

Were did you snag one from in Europe?

I plan to pick up one of these before spring.

I really like the one Loco posted, the price isn't terrible either. I am slowly trying to accumulate and weight things for this trip, hopefully I can add one of these to the list.

BCobe,

Are you planning to use a RTT? or ground tent?

 

[BCobe]

Ground tent since I already have one. I still need to pick up some sort of cooking means to.

Thinking about fridges, what about a cooler like the Pelican coolers? Using it strictly to chill meat the ice might stay for the duration of the trip.

Not even 500 EUR anymore!

I really like this fridge, only downsides are that it's not that silent and has no temp gauge..

I emailed Engel about that brand trying to find out if it is also 110V compatible. The ad says 12/24/230

If you are interested let us know! Jerome5Tthousand have been talking about doing this trip. As of now both of seem to be 100 percent on board to do this, its my last year here and as been a high priority thing for me since I saw it last year.

 

[SSGjeep]

What time of year are you thinking about going?

 

[BCobe]

September of next year.

Hi chaps, I'm interested but have a couple of trips planned already next year but nothing around Sept as yet, have to see what the score with work is after Xmas.
