Thanks a lot for the concern of our safety. I really appreciate it but I am pretty sure whoever wrote those comments has not done such a trip before. We have traveled (as a family) to most of the countries we will be visiting and we really love them a lot. The question is not if we should go but with what vehicle to do it.
Again, it will help a lot to get some advise on the rigs I have posted and to hear if any of you have experience with them.
Thanks a lot!

The only overall comments I would make are to choose for ruggedness, reliability, and repairability. Hence stay as small as you can for your family, do not choose an RV with slides, and stay with the tried and true Ford E450 chassis if possible. You also might want to carry two full spare tires.
Good luck ... and if it happens let us all know - with photos. :)
