A support vehicle would be helpful and if you want to pull it together, go for it...but I think it's overkill. For example,. found the website of a lady who drove 21,000 around the US and to Deahorse in a Kia Sephia...found another one of a guy who went to Deadhorse in what looked like a Geo Metro - he arrived 12/13 -drove the Dalton the whole way in the dark - only reflectors kept him on the road. So if these people can do it, like that, it seems a bus/support vehicle is overkill. Now, watch my SD break a spring and be the only one that needs the services of a "support vehicle"! Chris

No motorhome plush, more of the space dedicated to storage and processing for breakdowns and fuel/water support. Have a welder/torch set up for roadside repairs. Maybe a defibrillator for those of us older than our cars and in worse shape.
