Good for the long hauls with the head. I suppose you could fold those seats
down to sleep too. Add a little fridge and a microwave and it could be a
minimal RV

Not sure about mobile coverage. It had been being promoted for usage by
geologist for use out in the field back in 2019 at the mining conference that
year. May have been spin, as there was yet to be coverage at the time.

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.

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.

What model/year diesel does your friend drive, Randy? I've had no such

Blasphemy maybe, but I would suggest that you enjoy old Mercedes as fun
rides and acquire something else that is new or relatively new for your

Agree, unless you're really wanting the whole camping experience (which can be
fun), hotels are far more comfortable and less expensive.

After taking the cross country trip from Oregon to North Carolina, I now
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

The answer should be obvious.
W123 turbodiesel station wagon with *at least* 380,000 miles so you know
that the car has been broken in properly. Preferably a former daily
driver, white exterior with a blue leather interior, third row seating,
roof cross bars, and rebuilt Becker AM/FM cassette wit
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 W126.

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
