Hey everyone on /trv/
First time posting here. Normally on the other nonsense boards. I'd usually throw these kinda questions around over on overland but I always find input worth considering here.
Spend most of my time working for a fleet company building trucks and welding for a variety of over the road and construction equipment.
Looking to put these skills to use building a camper on the back of my truck and taking a year or two off work to explore the sand box that is North and South America via the Pan American highway.
I'm not rich but nor am I broke. Looking to do something interesting before my other half and me start making kids and getting stuck for awhile.
Looking for input on highway robbery, general safety, issues driving something that may just be a 2003 dodge truck but still worth something to a thief. General thoughts on camping along the road and just things to watch out for. Also the quality of diesel going south.
Depending on input I have more questions to ask and more than willing to answer anything.
Happy travels.
Darien gap has always been a ferry around type deal. A few thousand bucks will take care of it.
