Hi all
since when as fuel consumption been no concern out of Europe! Also think shipping, e.g iso containers door width and height not inside dimensions.. Shipping costs always rise when you dont fit the norm as we have found out! Can make a big, big difference in your travel plans.
4x4 has allowed us to camp in fields where its quieter and one of the highlights of are trip was going into the Kaluts desert in Iran 4 four 5 days so its 4x4 all the way for me. On are trip the mercs, toyotas and mitsibushi have appeared to be the only vehicles that seem to have parts in all countires but I could be wrong on this!
What you are descovering it all a comprimise size v fuel, living space v shipping, weight v water capacity etc. What ever you decide it will be right. I was on the roof of are truck buggering about with solar when I looked down and saw to Solvienians sunbathing and swimming they were traveling with a dog, camping stove and a solar shower in a standard landcruiser" My point is you can get two tied up in the vehicle rather than the travel, personally I permently nead a project! others dont they just enjoy!
Also left or right hand drive I was so glad I had right in India but you'll cope with what you got
all the best Mark
