Touring North America European style

Now here's a home built truck camper from Europe that is presently touring Canada, with the USA and South America in their sights. A pretty robust outfit.

  • I wouldn't want it for around the USA, but since they are headed to South America also, they will benefit from such a rugged vehicle.
  • To each their own. They seem to enjoy their unit as it works for them. It would not work for me as it is too wide and tall for heavy timber and the two track trails I frequent. OTOH they would probably not consider a camper like mine.
  • Hope they enjoy the journey.

    For all the negative comments, maybe they are hoping for some areas that
    are not pavement. They should be able to fond that in Canada, Alaska and the
    SW area of the USA.

    I will never understand the need to make a negative comment for the sake of being negative.
  • Wonderful pictures that this couple have posted on their website in German and English to let people know just where these photos were taken. I agree that it is definitely an overkill and not needed in what they are doing, but what the heck, if that's what they like then let them do it.
  • I agree, it's overkill for a vehicle. But more power to them in their travels!
