Just a quick note on LRH's web site (if he is reading this), the links from point 21 onwards do not work . Gives a 404 page not found error (or something like that).

Pages that worked were good though

try clicking on the link in the post you have quoted 60 pounds for the lot and you choose which style plates you want...might consider getting one of these for the 90 when money settles down

hi guys,

i'm a newbie here so take it easy on me :-)

i think all these ideas are great and are maybe aspirational only but when you get down to the nitty gritty what do you actually need?

we drove from the uk to australia (not in a land rover). the 1993 model car cost 6k with factory body lift and rear diff lock. we added a snorkel and a suspension lift. for storage we used 2 plastic boxes that cost $5 each, 2 medium sized backpacks for clothes and for accomodation we had a $100 tent. our 96l fuel tank was supplimented by a 25l jerry can of diesel and if we needed more we would buy drums of veggie oil.

everything we had (except additional fuel) could be packed in the back to the level of the rear seat.

in most countries we visited people would marvel at all the "stuff" we had. in Australia people carry more for a weekend of camping

the one thing we believe is a must have is some spare seats. the best experiences from our trip were a result of picking up local hitch hikers. they invited us into their homes, showed us the best camp sites, took us to weddings, and caught and cooked meals for us (not to mention all the alcohol). the trip would not be what it was without them.

i understand this approach is not for everyone but keep in mind there is this alternative. i think all these things on this thread are great but for the rest (most?) of us the important thing is to get a basic car. if you have an additional 5k or 50k to spend then spend it on the trip.

Thank you jasoedu for your inputs.
The aim of this thread is to have all the information that we can regarding gear in one thread only.
Not all of us would like to travel only with the tooth brush and the credit card (why the tooth brush ).
My wife and I were on the road for more that 7 month on a BMW bike towing a little trailer, camping every night on different spots and loved it.
Back then we were on the late 40's now in the early 60's we like to have more comfort.

Cheers

Same goes for me: 14 years on a coleman dual fuel and still going strong.

I use unleaded and apart from a simple cleaning of the nozzle the stove doesn't need any other attention. With 1 and a half liter I cook dinner for 4, at least 3 times (and we are all pasta lovers in the family): cheap and reliable!

Ciao!
