What a nightmare. My local dealership has been decent about attending to
basically the same issues. The worst thing that ever happened to me was a
check engine light and decreased fuel economy when two air charge hoses had
cracked. That cost about $900 to repair. The emissions-related recalls and

Get a StarLink account (Elon’s sat. network) that covers the far north. Should
have it well built out in a year or two. Subscription is supposed to be around
$99/mo for something a tad bit quicker than DSL.

Seven to ten days if you do the border crossing into Regina. Depends on your
lead foot how long it takes to hit the border. Road is well paved in Canada
until you get north in the boonies. SWMBA drives speed limits, Canada has top
speed around 62mph, gravel roads drop it to 50 or less.
Now that would be interesting. Of course I work remote so theoretically
as long as I have phone and internet access I could be working from
anywhere, even on the road.

Just to be a contrarian: bedbugs. Apparently they're making a comeback.
Also, you have to consider the resale value in the RV calculus.
For us, though perhaps less roomy, the best on-the-road living value is
via a truck camper. Full queen-sized bed. Truck can go just about anywhere.

I'm with you. For touring I would suggest something like a Chevy Tahoe or
equivalent. Big and comfortable, parts available everywhere, any halfwit
mechanic will be able to work on it.Stick with the big 3 (maybe including Jeep)
for best availability of parts and repair.

understand why many RVers choose to stay in hotels on the road. It’s not worth
the time to set up every night just to tear down the next morning. With three

that the car has been broken in properly. Preferably a former daily

I agree with Floyd. An ML or GL would be perfect for such types of travel, and
modern enough to be easily serviced just about anywhere.
While a W126 that’s well sorted and in good shape would be nice, if something
happens to it and you’re in bumf*ck wherever, getting it serviced will be a

A GL or ML or a wagon, you can get all your impedimenta in any of them
without struggling, and tow something if you want on the SUVs, and take
a nap if you want (or if no AirBnBs about you can sleep in it). The

Check to see what transmission it has. If a 722.6 (might likely be)
then about $250 for a new conductor plate kit and fluid, etc., a Sunday
afternoon under the car for a coupla hours, and then a reset with a good
scanner or the fancy computer and it will be fine. Did that on the $600
