Pretty sure we stayed in that spot in August 2021. Your day was much clearer than ours, it rained, but the trees line up. It's a sweet spot just outside the mile they claim is required from the ghost town.

Haha, it is a bit technical. If there is something you need me to expound on just ask. In short summary...the router that came with the 12v power supply I bought for the Starlink dish (XTAR kit) seems to be spying and is limited in the features I wanted. Switching to the 12V power supply seems...

More testing and reasons why I want to run the Starlink in bypass mode. My main reason to bypass the router that came with the Starlink is to expand my LAN ports to at least 4 (it has 2), be able to disable WiFi, run a separate guest wifi network, dual WAN, and WiFi to WAN. Our really old, ~10...

We broke down and bought a standard kit as a back-up for home use but went with their roam plan so we can disable the service when we are not using it. Back to back hurricanes had us out for way too many work days, our cellular service still hasn't recovered. I was able to run the entire kit...

I think what you are going to do is more important at this point. Two years out is a lot of time and hammering out exactly what travel mix you are after will help to hone in on a rig combination. For example, if you plan on mostly visiting NP then you have to factor which parks you will camp in...

Our average was probably 2-3 days with some remote spots being a week. When we moved to a new area/state/country, 1 nighters unless we ended up on a lake or river which would become 2. Some of our favorite long stays were in spots with lots to do around it and on or very close to a river. We...

I agree and we have a good bit of expertise too. I guarantee that anyone who has any experience knows the garbage advice in this thread. The problem is how does an inexperienced person deduce what is solid and what is junk. Best thing to do is go to a source that is specific to what they are...

I wouldn't rely on some of the recommendations/advice in this thread. You'd be better served by joining a Pan-Am group on FaceBook etc...

We drove a 2001 Diesel Ford E350, after market 4x4, all over the Americas. We came across many Ford, Chevy, and Dodge/Rams. There are also many Ford based class Cs kicking around down south. VW, Nissan, and Toyota have a bigger presence depending on which country you are in but there are many...

As a resident, imagine visiting one of your once great and favorite state parks to have to argue with an out of state contractor, one escaping their winter, about your reservation. Let alone the fact that most of the best State Parks are booked out for the winter almost a year out. I personally...

We listened to the normal advice of crossing into Baja around October or November, we crossed just after Thanksgiving. Honestly, it was colder than we would have preferred most of the time so we would have been better served to cross earlier or in spring (we're from Florida). Unless you hammer...

We have 2 twenty liter Jerry cans which served us very well over 7 years of full time travel. As Bjoern said, travel destinations can be a bigger driving force when deciding between cans or an installed tank. We chose cans just for that reason. Even during the US portions of our travels we...

Yes, we used a family member's address. We made sure to be entirely paperless before we set off to keep the mail to a minimum. We also kept our old driver's licenses and mostly used those at regular military or police stops south of the US. In FL we can just order a replacement license so we...

If you just want a border buddy, try the Pan-American Travelers Association or On the Road in Mexico FB groups. There are probably other groups too but those are the ones we used.

We had to have both, FL does things differently than other states. What they were looking for was the make, model, year, tag, vin, vehicle type, color, owner's name and address. Further south they even wanted to know displacement etc., IIRC that started around El Salvador but we were the ones...

^^^Agreed. Change the registration and title to your name. You can have two names on it, we did, as long as one of the names is yours. In our case we are both listed on the registration and title which came in handy when we re-entered Guatemala after only being out one month. They require the...

In our opinion, the earlier the better. You will end up with having more conversations about where and when your untimely death will occur but time tends to soften it as your departure approaches. I, John, am the talker and I'm known to be candid so blunt works for me. But...you definitely want...

No sweat from me, I'm not a thread purist and think mixed topics are way more useful...also, this thread sees very little engagement.

Congrats! It sounds like you've hit the point of where not leaving would be a greater regret than going, happens to most of us. We do have to warn you, the disconnect from the people in your current life will become even greater. That said, you will make many new friends (as you probably already...

Don't discount the number of modules and amount of wiring in an EV. Not even factoring for off pavement, regular main highways in other countries can be worse than the slow going dirt tracks. I know of more rigs breaking on the highway than off pavement during our travels. The constant vibration...
