MOUNTAIN YACHT: INTERIOR DESIGN

As we just love the mountains (especially in winter) we wanted the interior of our Mountain Yacht to reflect that. Most expedition trucks look like a 'dentist practice': in general very high build quality but little imagination, often white walls and ceilings and very clean when it comes to interior design. This probably has to…

LITHIUM BATTERY, INTERIM PERFORMANCE REPORT

After years of 'messing around' to find the right battery for our Sprinter 4x4, we installed a Roamer lithium LiFePO4 battery in January 2022. Not just any lithium battery but a very special one that can withstand the cold much better and can even charge at temperatures down to minus 40 degrees. So, how does…

AUSTRIAN DELIGHTS: TAUPLITZ AND KRIPPENSTEIN

Nordstau for president! Whenever the snow is coming from the North, Easterly direction, Upper-Austria and Styria gets the full load of fresh powder. These are the first peaks that the fully loaded clouds will encounter and forcing them to let go of their powder. So, when we look at the snow charts and the predictions,…

NEW LiFeP04 BATTERY FOR FREERIDER

We have been struggling with leisure batteries in our Sprinter 4x4 for some time now. I have previously written about this in modifications. We were relatively satisfied with our current Optima Blue Top batteries but with only 150 Ah the capacity is too low, especially in winter when the solar panel is not really contributing.…

POWDER HIGHWAY, CANADA BC – Part 3

We are on our way to Revelstoke, on the Powder Highway. We started our trip by visting the resorts of Kicking Horse, Kimberley and Fernie (part 1), after that Rossland with its Red Mountain and Big Red Cats (part 2) and now we drive on Highway 23 North towards Revelstoke. First we pass Galena, which…

POWDER HIGHWAY, CANADA BC – Part 2

We've been cruising the Powder Highway for a few days now. We have already visited Kicking Horse, Kimberley and Fernie (see part 1), and we are now on our way to Red Mountain, the ski resort near Rossland. From Fernie to Red it is more than 350 kilometers on Highway 3. It is a beautiful…

FROM YACHTING TO MOUNTAIN YACHTING

As we both love to travel in any way possible, and we also like boats we decided to buy a seagoing yacht in 2017. We would use it as a floating holiday home and in time we would sail it to Norway - Iceland and after that to the Med and probably never come back.....…

POWDER HIGWAY, CANADA BC – Part 1

During an average winter we travel about eight to twelve times to the Alps, to go powder hunting. This time we decided to do a bucket list item for Amy: skiing in Canada (RP already got the t-shirt in 2006). We are going to visit the so-called Powder Highway in Canada, with a Canadian Mobile home! …

ABENTEUER & ALLRAD 2021

Once we started thinking about buying a truck and building an Expedition Camper again,we knew that we had to go to Bad Kissingen. Nowhere in the world you can find that many exhibitors together on the Overlanding subject. We ordered our wristbands (four day entrance) and spot on the campsite in advance, and hoped for…

FREERIDER: MODIFICATIONS

The Sprinter 4x4 has served us well over the past 5 years. The build has paid off and there is not much that we would do different the next time. The only real disappointment was the 260AH AGM Beaut battery. It could not stand the cold and had trouble supplying enough power to use our…
