If you need to have someone work on your vehicle it is important to know they will do a good job and not rip you off, it could be planned maintenance or a problem while out on a trip. please share here if you have used a workshop you would recommend to others. These are both in the Netherlands...

that is a good point, i will try to do so.

Ha ha that is a little concerning, i hope its free of snow, if the web cams look good i guess it will be and definitely not that much if any. not sure if i should show the wife this or not :grin:

has anyone driven the Colle del Sommeiller? i understand you need to pay a toll for the last meters and its 4x4 only from that point. do you think there is any risk of snow at this altitude (3000m) next week? i guess not?

so i would be class 1 as they don't include accessories like roof boxes in the height measurement but i will need to pass under a gate not restricted to 2m as i am over that with the tent on, do they have gates over 2m that you don't need to stop at a barrier? can i go in the same lane as the...

Seams to be worth it, I will get one

That’s a nice site, thanks

Is it no option to have the template emailed over to someone and have them made in Europe, even if we found the supplier and OB handled the finances?

great, I will create a rally point over the weekend if not before

Does any one else use this website, i am finding it quite useful panning my trip at the moment, there are a lot of roads in Europe listed here and you can search on the map. dangerousroads

So after spending some time on google maps, Gaia and Wikilocs i am thinking i might of been a bit ambitious with the distance i thought i could cover. i realize there are so many nice looking routes and places i would like to check out just between our first camp site and the col du parpaillon...

I am still planning, my thread below First time planning a trip - French Alps https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/index.php?threads/First-time-planning-a-trip---French-Alps.24781/

I also plan a trip in the alps in July, only the 8,9 and 10th, when are you there?

My only option is to use the toll roads, if i avoid them my 7 hour drive turns into 9 hour and 20 minutes and that without considering stopping, if i have the time it would be ok, i would add an extra stop, i dont know how my 4 year old will be with that, the longest we done so far is 8 hours...

Thanks Jordan, I will certainly look at that option but some of my trip needs to be getting from a to b as quick as possible so I can enjoy the destination as I will be limited on time, I guess it’s just a case of avoiding toll roads on my route planner. I know about the sharks... if we have a...

One thing to consider with some tents and mine included is if you change the orientation of the support bars you may well need to cut them down, in my case I had enough adjustment on the front runner rack mounts to keep the supports in the same place

Its not so much the tent but the mounting, i have had it over the back on all my cars

it looks like a plug in place of a fan switch to me, perhaps if not fitted to your car other cars use the same radiator with an electrical fan. as smritte says i would be concerned about it popping out, especially as its metal. do you have a local hydraulic shop, this kind of plug is likely to...
