More money or a rich person that would bank roll us. I know it's not what you are looking for but I couldn't resist. - John

Welcome. We are East coasters but we have explored a little of southern California and Mexico (including Baja). What a great location as a base.

We were actually considering buying a LandCruiser Troop Carrier when we were there. We love that they are used for ambulances etc. We will let you know when we get closer to our plan to complete S.A. We just pulled off the road and are working to replenish our savings. Thanks.

That is an accurate commercial. We didn't explore Brazil up to Venezuela and we missed Paraguay so we'll need to ship the van back (or whatever vehicle we have then) to finish S.A. While we're there we figure we should visit Colombia again then ship to Panama and run C.A. back to the US. It...

Steal away. I'm sure if we ruminated over it for a while we could come up with several more.

Probably too far but we really enjoyed the hot springs in the Sawtooth Recreation Area. We spent over a week exploring and soaking last summer and even on the weekends we never had more than 4 other people in a hot spring with us. It was short lived as they would move on and we’d be all alone...

Nice looking rig and great photos on your Instagram. One thing we regret is not leaving any time to explore more of southern Colombia. We extended our tourist permits and TIP but ended up staying in Villa de Leyva for 2 months, having us on a short timeline as we were heading to Ecuador. We did...

When we make it back we’ll be sure to stop at your place. If you ever drive the States you are welcome wherever we are, currently in Eastern Tennessee.

11. Never let your visa/tourist permit or vehicle Temporary Import Permit (TIP) run out of time. Always plan to cross a couple days before expiration. Some countries calculate by the exact time and not just by date. We know of more than one vehicle that was seized because the TIP had expired a...

Bienvenidos! You live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, it is one of our favorites. We couldn't get enough of Parque Pumalin. Not a bad free spot. Riding out to the marble caves Marble caves Yes, we each ate one so we will be back! Sorry for all the photos. The Pacific South...

Our favorite stretch of land is from Grand Teton north through Jasper. We spent a month between Grand Teton and Yellowstone last summer. After heading up to Glacier then looping through the Sawtooth Recreation area of Idaho we made one last run through Yellowstone and Grand Teton before heading...

Oh yeah, it’s just part of it but that’s the balance…as in all things. We carry a handheld Dyson too, glad we aren’t the only ones to have a crazy posh vacuum. In our defense we already owned it as our home was small enough it was all we needed. Great to hear you got a place, has to be essential...

The other side of longterm overlanding. It’s easy to put up with the uncomfortable moments when you know you’ll be driving back to a comfy house. Rain soaked gear can get hung in the garage or in the bathroom…not for those living on the road. Each day is full of sorting stuff to be prepared...

Beautiful area, on our list to visit again one day.

We have both the Safe Jack and jack stand, we also have the rectangular base plate the jack can mount to. We bought it all in 2014, IIRC there was a show special. They had to make custom axle tube brackets since we were the first customer to buy their system for the Dana 60s on our van. We've...

Those pics are from Baja ; ) Chris (Ujoint) does a lot of RVs that are primarily used on the east coast beaches. A big plus to having the 4x4 conversion, besides the ground clearance, is using low range to help on ascents and descents. We think the 4x4 rvs are very cool and we'll probably have...

The Ujoint system is very capable. While being 28-32ft will limit some of the places you'll be able to go, the comfort when you are at places will be enviable. The common advice for rig selection is: "get the largest you're comfortable driving and the smallest you're comfortable living in." It...

We were told by many Europeans we met on the Pan-Am that we wouldn’t need a 4x4 van like ours in Europe. Um, that area of Spain looks fantastic!
