We spent a night around the campfire, in the Yukon, with an owner of an expedition rig. He was a German who just circles the globe for fun. His rig had been all over China, Russia, and Africa, and dozens of other countries. At the end of the summer he was scheduled to catch a slow freighter from Baltimore to France, then stop at home for a while, before the next adventure. Comparing a typical American plastic box full of tacky décor, and shoddy construction to an expedition rig, is like comparing yourself to an MLB hall of famer because you played in high school. Not quite the same league. A guy with four GPS units on the dash, a set-up that makes fetid swamp water drinkable, and stories of negotiating his way out of being kidnapped in Morocco, and being detained in China, is a bit different than your latest adventure to the local KOA with your glitzo express brand bedazzled class A.
