Shipping Our Rig to South America - Everlanders See the World!!

At long last, we've received our rig in Cartagena, Colombia. This is the story of our time in Panamá and the hoops to jump through to ship our Camper Rig from Central America to South America!!!

So glad your logistics issues are resolved and we are looking forward to more fascinating and beautiful videos from South America!

[@Everlanders]

Thank you so much!

[@SyberPrepper]

Thanks for all the updates. The mountains have to be a little piece of heaven after the month you've had. Hopefully you'll have some time to relax a bit.

[@MIVD]

What a story! good to see the beast back with you'll 🎉

[@joepeach997]

The moral of the story is to make 2 trucks identical, keep one in South America and one in North America! Thanks for sharing, it was really interesting how the turn of events can happen in a heartbeat. Wish you the best.

[@Everlanders]

Thanks!

[@homedad3324]

Congratulations you two that is an awesome trip of a lifetime. Columbia is an absolutely beautiful and hot country. I'm in my boler around Wawa, Lake Superior right now and the water is freezing. Cheers

Loved Panama and a trip thru the canal with all the monkeys. It is a contrast of old and new, rich and poor... Watch out for the taxis playing chicken.

[@Chris-ut6eq]

Glad you are reunited with your beast. The journey continues.......

Every thing will work out

Glad you have you back, sharing experiences!! Thank you guys! Bon voyage!!

[@Beardinc]

so excited for this new continent!!!

[@Colorado4x4Van]

Glad you made it...big step! Travelling with a Chevy Van? Awesome! The weather there (temps) sound like Leadville...would be great as it was 105F here today! Looking forward to the next phase! Safe travels and God speed!

[@Everlanders]

We met in Costa Rica and then again in Cartagena, they were waiting 3 weeks for their van/container to show up. We could relate to each others pain, then once we found this spot we couldn't help but share the reprieve with them.

[@jackthompson5092]

Great video of your adventures.

[@davidpatrick1813]

Thank you for the diligence and good example ... these principles apply to many aspects of living day by day. Good Job. We here too are in Oregon,, southern coast ...

[@alphatruckhouse8223]

[@LukeMahan-xr4xx]

Bummer about the logistics, glad nothing is damaged and you're on your way. Travel safe

[@phurious_george]

So happy y'all are back on your adventure as I'm certain you are as well!

[@Everlanders]

Yes! Thank you!

[@largemarge1603]

I let the commercials run while I read the comments.. I hope this helps.

[@AlanKrum]

Yes it is spotty. I did get it and watched. But watching again. Great video.

[@Everlanders]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@kencathy-campfirejourneys]

Very cool... I was looking into a South America trip with a rig a few years ago right about the time the ferry stopped running!! Looking forward to following your Journeys down there 🙂🚚

[@Everlanders]

Yeah, the ferry hasn't run for nearly a decade... Oh well 🤷‍♂️

[@LiveandGive4x4]

Great 👍 we hope to meet you soon again in South America See ya when we see ya 👋 Fabian Isabela and Matheo

[@Everlanders]

You better hurry...

[@richardweerasinghe3296]

We have shipped a number of times. Delays are common. We ensure the car has left before we do. That eliminates the delays on one side.

[@Everlanders]

In our case the flight makes no difference...

[@neoholopainen6476]

I got both notifications but clearly there is some problems, 44 views 10h later just doesn't mach up. Started my morning with this video and continued with all the recent live streams, I have to say: it was seven hours of good content. Question about Renogy dc-dc chargers, clearly not good product, but I have already installed 20a version as an backup option. You have seen few broken ones, any advice how to get one last as an backup. on-off will be controlled via esp32 and relay so there is options to tweak duty times.

[@Everlanders]

Thanks for the update... Many of the DC-DC units that I've worked on got untouchably hot on the Input Negative terminal, I suspect they are tying all the hot components to that ground plane. Further, I feel the thermals were not well engineered, compounded by vanlife babes installing it in a sealed box with subway tiles boxing it in. At the very least, put a 120mm PC case fan near the unit and ideally punch a hole in the case to increase airflow. The larger 60 amp version has an option to "half' the output, and I've wired this option for one fella for everyday use and then he has the option to "boost" when situations are dire. Unfortunately they are very lossy and they are dumping all that loss as heat... (the enemy of electronics) Another layer of protection would be to put a 50c thermal switch in-line with the enable wire... something like this: www.amazon.com/uxcell-Thermostat-Temperature-Bimetal-KSD9700/dp/B00C97H95Q

[@neoholopainen6476]

@@Everlanders Thanks for the reply, It's not in ideal place for ventilation, but i will make couple extra holes, additional fan and put extra temperature sensor near negative terminal to keep an eye on it. I'm thankful for the warning with dc-dc chargers, I would have used it as an full time charger while driving and probably burnt it out under a year. Now I hopefully have longer lasting backup option for cloudy weeks.

[@micahc9509]

Thank you for the freedom units. How many bald eagles per gallon does the truck get on the fuel in Columbia 🤣🤣🤣🤣?

[@Everlanders]

The same as in Panama! 👍

[@BroodPitt]

Awesome! new video

[@allan80supra]

The one "RV" channel I'm actually interested to see how starlink gets installed does not actually have starlink yet!

[@Everlanders]

We're as eager as you, unfortunately there is no service down here yet...

[@java230]

Are you not able to jump the truck from the house batteries?

[@Everlanders]

Yes, but I've limited it to 50Amps with the 6AWG wire, plus I was on a time crunch to get the Customs Inspection area to make our appointment. So I took all the help I could get...

[@java230]

@@Everlanders fair enough! I have 000 front to back on mine. Still a big voltage drop trying to jump tho.

[@juanaranjuez]

What are were their charges for shipping?

[@Everlanders]

No company, we just drove our car ourselves.

[@hakunamatataadventurebus5944]

I don’t have the courage to travel to Columbia. 😮

[@Everlanders]

Then you definitely shouldn't.

[@Redodopower]

Hi， how do I contact you if I have good products to recommend?

[@Everlanders]

Email, Instagram, Facebook, Signal all work great...

[@Redodopower]

@@Everlanders Thank you so much, I can't find your email, So I left a messeage to you in your Instagram~

[@Everlanders]

As I'm sure you're aware from the video you are commenting on... We are near Bogata Colombia, Are you able to ship anything here?

yellow fever vaccine is required but is not enforced. We are not paranoid about this staffs.
