While the caravan will try to help in the end it moves on. With the caravan we met one member spent 10 days in Fairbanks and the rest moved on.
We met a non caravan couple in Dawson Creek that was on their 19th day getting repairs.
Stuff happens.
It sure does. In the case I wrote of, the couple was on a once in a lifetime bucket list trip. Once they dropped the 7-8K for a entire new rear, they were debating on continuing the trip and spending twice for everything they wanted to see, and had already paid for, and lost, when they fell behind the caravan. If you are of modest means, and lost seven grand in fees, for a trip that you have saved up for, "stuff happens" is a bit too casual to cover the loss. I can appreciate why some folks are most comfortable with caravans, but this is just one of several negatives that needs to be considered.
