RE: Mexico/Central and South America - Truck Camper is best!
I have my camper in Uruguay, if anyone wants to start from there - the shipping port is Za rate, Argentina. This is a great port to ship into, or ship out from!
The trek travelogs are great from camping and order information.

RE: Birdwatching and Treasure Hunting w/metal detector?
On my South American trips, (along with the beer can taps), I have discovered several old coins, and several pieces of gold jewerly, as well as a Portuguese Pirate Key....all on the beach areas of Brazil....
always a lot of fun, and love the pide-piper effect of the children following and helping on the beach....
the south american areas are so virgin to metaldetection.

RE: Class C - Diesel for South American Trek of Pan Am Highway?
The newest truck was a 2009 Chev 2500 , and has no problem with the diesel from USA to Argentina. The latest models that use exhaust additive I do not know about.
I have a 7.3 Ford, and never encountered a fuel problem.

Tigers are a good choice, I traveled the "Trek" to Argentina with one, also the Born Free, proved to be a great choice also, especially with he 7.3 diesel!

RE: Traveling Overland (Latin Amer) in a TRUCK CAMPER!
There is a very interesting article in a old edition of TRAILER LIFE named "Beyond the Equador" - it was a three part series (I think in 1997)...written by a couple from Holand (scouting for the Trekoftheamericas RV expedition. Lots of pictures and facts on the Pan Am RV Route to Argentina.

RE: Traveling Overland (Latin Amer) in a RV
What an exciting time you have had! I have traveled all the Latin American Countries by RV for the past 25+ years (even Peru), but have not had any of those exciting experiences...maybe I just am in the right place at the right time always!!!
The worst experience encountered was a radio was taken from a screened motorhome window that was left open in the camp...this was in Belice.
Very interesting post!!!

The most important is a good tie-down system, with guides in the bed...I also added underneath horozontal supports. Watch those "Topes"

Traveling Overland (Latin Amer) in a TRUCK CAMPER!
Traveling Overland (Latin Amer) in a TRUCK CAMPER! - named "best RV to do Trekoftheamericas Expedition with
.Recently the trek of the americas expedition named the Truck Camper as the most practical RV to use with the expedition they do annually from the USA to Ushuaia, Argentina over the Pan American Highway.
FURTHERMORE..... most of the participants have larger motorhomes, and after looking at the 30' size limitation, they go to choose either a B van, class C, smaller Class A, or the Truck Camper! Since many of them have a pickup at home.... the choice is simple!
Many of them are NOT familiar with today's Truck Camper, they think of the old "Fishin Camper".... shell with a cook stove and porta potty!... Once they see...they usually choose.
I got my first Lance from Jack Cole, owner of Lance Campers and picked it up at his old factory in LA. It was just after that famous Bank Robbery, where the bandits had machine guns, armored vests, and held off the police... I was there on the scene the next morning, and used the same bank that was robbed to cash my cashiers check to Lance. Shell casings were all over the place!!!
I have done many trips all the way to the tip of Panagonia, and am leaving the end of August to do another....wish we had more campers to participate!!!
