We haven’t watched your videos, we just joined this forum today, but we wanted to add... If you have any reservations about your rig or if you have a growing wish list it’s much easier to turn around now and sort them before continuing on. We drove the America’s in a pop top 4x4 E350 and were...

You have to trust your gut, all of your guts. If anyone isn’t feeling it then it’s a no go. No questions, no convincing or second guessing, it’s a no and time to move on. That being said there are times you will hook up with others to run particular routes or to just have big dinners and...
