ford diesel lap around South America??
Oi, pessoas! I just finished a two stage,10 month, 25000. mile lap from Canada to Ushuaia, and up Brasil to Caracas, on my KLR 650 bike. Now I'm addicted and want to return, but this time with my german shepard and my ford F350 diesel crew cab 4x4 truck, and its slide in/cabover camper on the back. I meet a few travelers in other vehicles and this looked fun, especially for a year long tour. But i dont know much about this mode of travel outside USA/Can.
1) I want to ship it all from Miami to Caracas. Costs? (the camper is very high when sitting on truck, container? or outside?)Agents? US hassel customs? 2) i want to install some type of solar panel deal on the roof and an aire conditionado unit. 3) what spare parts should i take. seems like theres easy parts for my rig down there. 4) insurance? 5) dog import hassels? 6) its got a propane/electric fridge in it already. solar battry charger?
I met 2 rich hippy columbian kids who had driven from bogota around to ushuaia and to Belem in a 2wd subaru w/o any probs. Seems like driving across columbia could be done if one takes precautions. any info/links apreciated. tom, back in culturaly boring and expensive usa/dallas texas
