Hi Pete,

it would be helpful if you indicated where you were looking to visit, so a considered reply could be offered by those that may have done the same route.

Regards

Reggie

Progressive in the US will insure you, covers Canada and get it before you go on line - you may need to call them so they pull your application aside but you still do the online application.
You need to get onto the ADV forum and ask a member if you can have the policy doc's posted to them. You need to sign those and return in a month with a copy of you drivers license.

Have you got the EPA cert's sorted? The UK plate stands out big time and it will confuse the police - all though we were only stopped twice in 12,000 miles.

I'll try and remember who we used for Mexico.

Hi, Thanks for that info, I have sorted EPA form out, waiting on letter back now, they said they had all the info required.

For Mexico and everything south of Mexico, you can get at the borders.
