More important is the living comfort in your vehicle, a comfortable bed, watertank, cooking, electricity and solarpower. We will help you to see what camping gear we travellers are happy with and what was an complete disaster.
Also we will try to help you for choosing the right vehicle for your trip at the first place.

Thank you for documenting all your fascinating travels. There's a wealth of valuable, real world experience to be uncovered here! One question : given the diesel / gasoline debate, and all knowledge you've acquired over the years, if you were to personally select a vehicle OR vehicles for RTW travel today, what would you choose? Say for a budget which is anything from low to high?
ReplyDeleteI still would choose an diesel based vehicle, because the range is higer. An toyota because the spares & skilled mechanics are in many countrys available. I would choose a type who is available and common on most areas. And a model who is current, where the spares are on stock internatioally. Hilux, Land Cruiser 200, Prado. But most of us travellers arent doing a real RTW, they do one of the common routes like panamericana, silkroad and transafrica. For a 20`000 km trip a newer well maintained car, should be able to do it - independent of the brand!
