  1. Hello! Fantastic trip and fantastic truck!
    Any problems with the fuel, low temperatures/quality, etc?
    Average price for the truck to be shipped to America, Australia, etc?
    So many Questions because we are preparing to do so…
    Many thanks and all the best

    • Hi Jose. We have a Euro 5 engine but had no problem with fuel. Although we tried to use ULSD where possible we sometimes did have to use high sulphur diesel and didn’t have any problems. We only had difficulties starting the truck when we were above 4,000 metres and the temperature was below freezing. The solution was to wait for it to warm up although in the Himalayas a squirt of easy start seemed to do the trick at over 5,000m. In terms of shipping it was about $75 a cubic metre plus port and agents costs at both ends. Good luck with your trip.

    • We shipped the truck by RORO. These are the ships that transport the cars around the world. They will also take individual shipments.

  2. Oh , you have inspired me to do South America and who knows where next.Was at the same places in your video about 4 years ago.
    We are busy building motorhome for two on a Landcruiser VX 4.2 diesel by AC Motorhomes in Cape Town and I never thought that I would ever spend so much on a camper , but this is a long term investment that will replace the beach house or even the current house in Langebaan on the West Coast , South Africa.
    Friend of mine is going back to Europe and would appreciate advice on who he could approach for a camper that he wants to live in permanently.

    • Hi Angus. South America is great and well worth an extended trip. Re a camper build in Europe it depends what your friend is looking for. If he has the time it would be well worth him visiting Abenteur & Allrad. This is a show in Bad Kissingen, Germany held every year, usually in June that exhibits all sorts of campers from jeeps up to 10m trucks. All the major off road camper companies exhibit there. If he is only touring Europe and doesn’t need an off road camper there are hundreds of companies out there. For an off-road camper built on a truck base most of the companies are in Germany with one or two in Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland. He may also want to look at the Facebook group Overland Sphere who have a buy and sell group.
