Mods I wouldn`t do again for overlanding or vanlife

After over 68350 miles of international overlanding (110`000km) with the rig showed above, done in the past 9 years it is definitively time for an analytic view. Which mod wouldnt we do again, which mod would we install on a newly buildup? Therefore I did several overlanding trips with rental cars in the US and Asia who was near stock, done by tent and icebox, I can too compare a bit. For shure the travel region makes severall mods more necessary and handy. My rig was done to cross africa and feels very fine for that purpose. Later on the Panamericana it feels partly a bit overdone. A lot of thos stuff is optional for many of us, like the reason why we are travelling extended. Therefore I will list each mod and write about where it was necessary, where not. I guess this way you can better decice if it is helpful for your own travel needs. Too the choosen vehicle makes a bit difference, if you look at the Land Cruiser 200, that is a very capable rig in the original configuration. An of

Motohome an Bike RV Camper

I stumbled across an exciting project on the Internet, an absolutely minimalist motorhome based on a motorcycle. There are also exciting extensions for off-road vehicles that are based on a rear extension. The same principle works for motorcycles. Admittedly - this solution is not suitable for tall people - the cabin has only a length of 1.83m, is just under a meter high and 86cm wide. In the rear extension is also some storage space for a rudimentary kitchen equipment. In social media, the project meets with a greater echo - I think he has with the construction of such motorhomes quite a business potentioal with the expansion, after his trip. The entire vehicle comes so to a length of 3.65 meters. The wheelbase is 2.60 meters. Who now thinks that this will be a lame undriveable vehicle - should be taught better about the video embedded here: About GoFundMe Jeremy is still looking for donors, for his big travel dream - the Panamericana and has already been able to accumulate a nice

Announcement: Ecoflow River Mini Wifi Review

I received an Ecoflow River Mini Wifi , which I would like to test in more detail over the next few days. A solar generator or mini-board battery, so to speak. So I would like to announce a review here. The first impression is already quite good in terms of performance, as always you can charge and discharge at the same time, an important point when travelling. The Ecoflow app also allows you to control the inverter, the USB ports and the 12v charging socket. You can also set how much power the Ecoflow River Mini can call up via a 12v cigarette plug, which is helpful for rental cars and cigarette lighters or charging sockets with weaker protection. Key data: 220 WH capacity (58400mAh), 2.85 kg Length 25 cm, width 14 cm, height 13.4 cm Charging: Shore power charger and 220v (300W) connection (home / campsite). 100W MTTP Solar Charge Controller (11-39V, 8A Max) 12v, 8A charging via cigarette plug Pickup: 100W USB-C charging socket (1x) USB ports (3x) 12v cigarette lighter distributor wit

The best travel apps in 2021 for Android / iOS

The best travel apps in 2021, travel apps for smartphone or tablet and Android and IOS. A smartphone is an irreplaceable travel companion for me. With the right apps, a smartphone helps save space and weight, helps plan your route, check exchange rates, book hostels, book flights, navigate and much much more. The investment in a local simcard usually pays back quickly, or an appropriate roaming package. After quite a while on the road, some favorite Apps of my has to be named. Here is an updated list of the most important travel apps to mee. Of course, it's not just a list - you'll also find a reason why each app is so irreplaceable for me. Here we go - Offline street navigation (Android / iOS) Street names, house numbers, "Please turn left in 20m" - HERE or Here.com (formerly Smart2Go, Map24, Navteq, Nokia Maps) offers very good navigation in over 100 countries. Quite a few car manufacturers equip their navigation systems with Navteq map material (BMW, VW, Daimler e

Offroad Gear: 5 ways to save weight

Many Travellers are carrying a lot of overweight through their extended Travels. Have to fight higher repair bills und breakdowns. And are less capable at muddy or sandy terrain, because they are just to heavy. They had to use the winch, because they did bring them with. There are some very easy ways to avoid such overweight.
