I want to start using my rig as it was intended. So far, all I have done is camping and day trips where I return to the same sight each night. Those are great, but I would like to start taking it on expeditions. I was curious to see what modifications they deem necessary so I can have it all ready when I decide I have the time and money to do it. I wantto start small, like close to home and no more than a week, and work my way up to the Mundo Mayan trip one of these years. Thanks for all the help. |

there are some journals of journeys that people took http://www.travelswithrover.com/ http://www.ihana.com/ and the newest one I saw http://www.northbyrover.com All of these trips give you good advice by reading their daily journal and finding out what they needed and didn't. Hope it helps, JK |

Greg, It truly depends on what 'expeditions' you plan to go on, the terrain, remoteness, etc... You could always hook up with other dwebbers anywhere in the US for some wheeling. I also suggest you look into these: http://www.bb4wa.com http://www.bordertoborder.com If you have any specific questions, let me know. John www.teampb.com |

There are a few official LR books out there that go into great detail on many things, expedition and off road check out atlantic british or rover north books. I have a book called Sahara overland which i have been parousing, talks about a lot of good stuff although Africa Specific, it would an interesting addition to anyones Library. book report ends |
