Dear overland folks
We are Ernst & Jiew from Switzerland / Thailand and travel the Pan American from north to south

We are full time overlanders since 2022 and enjoy this gipsy life very much. At the moment, we travel through Arizona, but soon leave to Mexico as our US visa expires.

some days ago we travel through the spectacular Mojave desert here our report

We drove the Americas north to south (2015-2019) in a 4x4 pop top van, it's a great trip. When we get a chance we'll check out some of your videos. Oh, nice looking Troopy!

A personal view - stay off the actual PAH as much as you can. Get into the side roads, local villages, remote country.

When is the best time to depart the US from Texas and head south, to coincide with the warm weather in the very south of south America? Thanks.

People have done this in anything from weeks to years; it depends on your average travel. We typically cover 165 km/day - what do you expect to cover per day? Secondly it depends on whether you go from A to B (shortest route) or go exploring and cover a lot more distance (as we do; we drove 49,000 km in South America alone) - how do you travel?
