The Longest Motorhome Journey, can you top it? (1 Viewer)

[buttons]

This was a long time ago when my brothers brother-in-law and his girlfriend, both in their twenties drove their VW camper from London to Australia. Obviously they had a couple of short sea journey's from Asia to the coast of Australia but they got as close as was physically possible to Aus before taking to the water.
Anyone else attempted such a trip?

I spoke to a couple of brits who did this when I was in Oz. She was cutting my hair, they took in lots of places, and took them about a year, sounded great.

That truck looks like an ex Dragoman truck. Is it ?

In 2010, we went to Texas, bought a pickup truck, drove up to Oklahoma to by a demountable camper, picked up Route 66 in Oklahoma, drove all the way on Route 66 to the end in Los Angeles, taking in Grand Canyon on the way, drove up to Yellowstone National Park, then north to Canada and went to the Calgary stampede, drove all the way up to Alaska, spent a month touring Alaska, drove back down to Montana, across the top of the States to Ontario in Canada to visit family then onto Niagara Falls, after that to Chicago to pick up the beginning of Route 66, drove that where possible back to Oklahoma where we started, back down to Texas, then shipped the rig out of Galveston back to the UK. All tolled 17,000 miles.

Sorry, posted this by mistake as not a motorhome but might be of interest to some people.
Just finished reading a self-published book by Jo Hicks ‘It Takes A Year’. In 1961 she and her husband James made their way from London back to his home country Australia in a Morris Traveller, mainly using it as their overnight accommodation. Really enjoyed it.
