First time I have seen your videos and enjoying them. Your name Holcombe is the name of a village and district in Lancashire, England. Your ancestors must be from there as it is a very unusual name.

I love American discovering the rest of the world is full of normal good happy people willing to help specially down the border. Even dont speaking the language they try to make it easy even with some fun, like anywhere for sure there is few bad ones, but for sure good people are far more. Enjoy guys. Youll see how much overlanders specially from Europe, love latín America, for some reason, but far the best is its people.

We have one. No codes were thrown that is could detect. Mercedes only allows only very basic information to be shared with the non offical MB scan tools.

Jorge, watching your van on that tow truck made me nauseaus and it wasn't even my van. I can't imagine how you made it through that drive. Glad it all worked out well...and happy healing to Kathy

This is a great video! In fact, I would like to LINK to it in a new e-book I'm writing about Utah. This would be a link directly to your KZbin channel, not embedded, so it wouldn't take anything away from you. What it would do is get you more views and subscribers. I would also give you credit in the text on the page, as well as a free copy of the e-book. I guarantee you'll find a ton of new places to explore. Let me know what you think.

@Famagogo Күн бұрын
We knew that doing a massive trip would come with many challenges. They can get frustrating and even scary at times, but we have to remind ourselves that this is the adventure, and overcoming these is the cost of all the amazing things along the way. It is also a great look into how much of the world operates and how easily we have solutions to many common challenges in North America. It's all great for expanding our perspective. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We really appreciate it.

Watching the rig being transported on that tilt tray was nerve wracking. Do you have an OBD (code) reader with you ? May want to get one 👍
@Famagogo Күн бұрын
We do have an OBD. The van never threw a code or checked the check engine light. But MB has most of the codes locked up without the official MB scanner. It will only give us very general info. This can be helpful sometimes, but I wish it was more open to tell us more. But it didn't help much this time. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I am currently building out my first (!!) van, hoping to do some epic trips inspired by yours! As a whitewater kayaker, I have been trying to figure out the best way to carry boats (2-5) and gear. I noticed in your videos that you always have them loaded on a roof rack. This is originally what I was thinking, but I must admit, crawling up up there trying to throw around kayaks makes me a bit nervous. How did you find the roof rack system? Have you considered a hitch or rear door-mounted system? There are not a ton of examples out there so very curious to hear your thoughts!
@Famagogo Күн бұрын
Hello, We went through the same debates. On our first rig, I had a wilder build me an awesome rear hitch mount rack with three receiver points to support it. It turned out to be too wobbly and did not work as well as I had hoped. The roof works well for the shape of kayaks, even though it's a little squirrely getting them up there. If you don't want to pull a trailer, it's still the best way to go. Here is a video that I made that is all about our roof rack setup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCphp13r7tsms0 I hope this helps you research the best system for you.
