102 degrees in Phoenix the week before.
Too dam hot for me and my furry travel partner, XENA the German Shepherd, to hang around.

Back on Vancouver island for a bit, repairing a friend's motorhome.

Planning to attend the BURNING VAN event next week in Eastern Washington.

Anyone going to this event? I will.be attending in my 99 AWD MICRO MOTORHOME CONVERSION, but will be overnighting off site at a smaller more quiet location.

Well, I have been in Mexico for almost a month now, living in a rental Casita, and LOVING IT DOWN HERE! I have stopped at Ajijic, about half a day drive due East of Puerto Vallerta. This is a great place to visit, or live long term, and it is full of GRINGOS from all around the World, who view Ajiji...

I like your idea of bracing the frame with side rails. I used some fairly substantial WOOD to brace my big square box body conversion, but seeing how you did it with steel might give me ideas for the next build. PS: I made it from Washington State all the way to La Penita, Nayarit, Mexico, with my f...

Thanks
The search continues.

Lessons learned along the way As a well seasoned “Retired Gentleman of Leisure” and part time SNOBIRD, I am preparing to head South for the Winter … AGAIN! Planned destinations for this trip include driving along the US West Coast, through some Southern states, to Mexico, and Belize. MOSTLY I WILL ...

Almost ready to leave for Mexico. Just a few details to finish up ... Fortunately my original plans to attend the Overlanding Expo in North Carolina were delayed, so I missed out on a "hurticane experience." Here is a pic of my new Do It Yourself /Custom designed front bumper/grill guard. ...

Almost ready to head South ... just got my Travel innoculations, and in a couple of days my dog gets her shots and a certificate so I can bring her into Mexico. Finishing off a few non-essential detaiks .... Finally got the front bumper detailed / lightened by water jet cutouts, added a grill guard,...

I discovered that the difference between "Adventure Traveller" and " HOMELESS PERSON with shopping cart" is really not all that much. I spent a Winter a few years ago in Phoenix, in a 21' motorhome. I had the motorhome parked, and was exploring Phoenix by bicycle, ALONG SOME OF T...

WELL ... SEPT 02, I am officially, a HOMELESS PERSON. After that, I will have 'NO FIXED ADDRESS". And I may soon be living out of my TINY little AWD SAFARI Micro Motorhome .... potentially FULL TIME! http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv266/Lazerus2000/Rear%20Rt%20side_zpscqt0qof9.jpg My hand b...

Nice to finally meet you as well. We should plan a more leisurely meet up for next time. Maybe bring your 4x4 van and park side by side for some pics.

My DO IT YOURSELF AWD SAFARI TIGER CLONE BUILD, is definitely different from the TIGER Mini Motorhome recreational vehicle it was modeled . I wanted an "OVERLANDING" capable rig, with simple and basic interior accommodations, and a tough and sturdy exterior appearance. So, even though the ...

On my third tank of gas on my 1999 mini motorhome AWD TIGER clone build, and up till now was disappointed in my mileage. I got 12.8 and 13.8 mpg driving about half and half hiway/ city. But last week I got my transmission serviced , flush and filter. After checking mileage on the last tank I got 15....

I rode a few KLRS in my time. ( five in total ). Went to the Baja on a KLR that I spent about $2000 extra on prepping. Rode around down there for a month. My riding buddy broke his leg that trip and I had to ride his BMW 650 DAKAR back for him, then fly down and ride up again on my KLR. When I got b...
