Nice to see you again. I have been waiting for your upcoming videos. I switched to Bilstein Dual reservoir shocks as I was experiencing terrible fade with my others. I am very happy now. For the price Bilstein cant be beat You can buy 4 sets of Bilstein's for less than one set of Falcons so its no big deal if you have to replace them more often than Falcons. Regards from Ody Slim P.S. I wanted to tell you I recently went overlanding with the SW Idaho overland guys. Getting to our destiny we drove quite a long distance at less than 1mph traversing rocks at least 9-12 inches in diameter. It was like a boulder field The Bilstein's tolerated it very easily. I think you will be happy with them.

Im from the US , wanted to ask you , where you can rent a 4x4 in Argentina for a couple of months, because airport rentals are $$$$$
@sinrumbo1Ай бұрын
Hello. I never rented a 4x4 so I could not recommend any company. We did rent a camper van in Buenos Aires years ago from andeanroads.com and we were satisfied with them.

It could be, but personally I prefer the flexibility of separate components. I also enjoyed designing and buidling the system. But it isn't for every one for sure.

I have the same compressor, the hose and metal disconnect fitting at the compressor end gets extremely hot, like burn skin hot! But the handle is just warm. I’m wondering if you experienced that? I wonder if there’s a restriction or problem with mine?
@sinrumbo13 ай бұрын
I didn't experience that during the test but it is probably normal. The handle is shielded but the fitting is not.

Nice camper I was wondering where did you get it from. I noticed it had a very high rise and I’ve been looking everywhere for one I was wondering if you could share the dimensions of the camper shell and where you got it thank you.
@sinrumbo13 ай бұрын
Hello. Unfortunately this camper shell is made and only available in Argentina (Tronador.ar). It is a commercial model not intended to be used for a camper.

Unfortunately one of the two CR Laurence side windows installed by True North Customs Campers of Calgary has failed six months after install and two weeks into the first trip. We were not able to get warranty either from the vendor / installer nor from CR Laurence in California. We are stuck with an expensive window that no longer opens. Buyer beware!

The side windows are CR Laurence (California) and were installed by True North Custom Campers in Calgary, Canada. The driver side window developed a problem six months after the install and two weeks within the first trip. True North did not help us solve the problem and CRL headoffice did not make any effort in solving the warranty issue either. Even though we love these windows we are very disappointed by the total lack of after sales service from the vendor/installer and from the manufacturer. We are stuck with an expensive but defective window. Buyer beware!

Hola Philippe, bueno que decirte? Nuestro mundo tiene tantos lugares maravillosos que no conocemos , así que darte las gracias ya que de esta forma y a través tuyo puedo conocerlos. En una parte del relato vos decías que el lugar tenía como un ambiente japonés, a mí me parecía el lugar más relacionado con la cultura Maorí ( los totem o estatuas de madera). Se veía muy rica la sopa de vegetales y el pan que preparo Caty. 😊 Saludos para los dos.

What is the truth about encountering bears while hiking? Is it really a frequent risk? It's such a different fauna for us in the southern hemisphere..
@sinrumbo14 ай бұрын
It is a real concern for sure. We have been on the road for about 3 weeks in Western Canada during our current trip. We have seen 6 bears. So they are around. We have to remember that humans are the ones intruding on their territories. Not the other way around.
