  1. Ok well we hit the road. Landed in Ottawa... going to be recording the whole thing on a blog! www.crosscanada.wordpress.com Also hit up some awesome fireworks, and loooking forward to montreal and fishing soon! Peace! Pachone
  2. I completely agree with the finances and the experiences part. We just need to get out on the road first. Just got the insurance done today, waiting for safety certification :S, then e-test and SEEYA the bunk is allllooott bigger than you think. We test slept it and its great,,, even with a thick mattress. very comfortable. Just worried about getting it on the road, and packing up.
  3. It does, but we would need some sort of storage. and we dont have one of those containers.... and they can cost $... and we dont have tooo much. We havent even left yet! we have investigated on kijiji and craigslist, and nothing too special. we would really only need for max 2 months... any ideas? could use the ol strap er down technique
  4. Thanks for the responses guys, I got some Pics added of the construction of the bunk... check it out.. This is gunna be one hella adventure! We just put in a mattress and gave it a test run and its comfy as hella. Just need to setup some blinds, and pack'er up. Leaving next week hopefully! Also got an SLR borrowed from my dad, so gunna get some wicked pictures. Unfortunate the touchscreen on my Sony Camcorder isnt working, I need to bring it to the store this week.
  5. thanks for the response Jocko. Yeah, thats a huge part of the reason why me and my friend are going. We are 22, and next thing you know... ill have a mortgage, 2 kids, car loan, full time job with 2 weeks a year, wife, and a bunch of other shackles. Dont get me wrong, those things are nice and have its rewards, But I just wont have a chance to do this if I dont do it now. We havent put a limit on anything really, the only thing holding us back is obviously $$ ... cant go crazy. and if something happens to the vehicle > fingers crossed. lol we really only need it to go 10,000 Kms. Plus just get back before it starts getting really cold, so we have lots of time. we are estimating to get out for at least a month, rough it in a van and tent, here and there, and just adventure. We bought the van yesterday, and by midnight we had the bunk built (homedepot stays open til 10 in pickering!!) I need to get some pics up on here. I need to geter e-tested and certified on tuesday, and put plates on er too. Anyone know an honest mechanic located in Pickering-ish? any advice? thanks
  6. bought a DODGE CARAVAN today... building the bunk this weekend. ITs coming together!!!!! Ill post pics soon of what we are doing Pachone
  7. thanks alot for the feedback so far guys. Im taking notes! Do you think it would be possible to run a charger for some things, coming from the cigarette outlet in a van? or would that burn out the engine? I was hoping to charge my laptop over it. Also thinking about showering... are there places to do that on the road? Im not thinking of spending alot of $$$$ either... Thanks for the tips guys! Keep em coming if you can!
  8. Hahaha great story thanks for sharing. That little peice of advice WILL HELP.. thanks!
  9. Hey Guys, A friend and I have decided that we want to spend maybe at least a month to 2 months on the road, travelling the great brute of a country we live in. Do some fishing, explore, adventure, see things, eat places, chill. And just enjoy doing something not usually done. Road trip style. We were thinking of purchasing or borrowing a van... preferably a Chevy or GMC Astro/Safari, and building a bunk in the back, and voila. Weve seen it done before. Gas and food we have calculated. We basically need to find a decent van but not for alot of $. Also need to pick up some tips along the way... We are going from Toronto, to Cape Spear NF, and then over to Vancouver, and back HOPEFULLY!!! Should be quite the experience. I was hoping people might have some experiences and TIPS to share. Has any one ever done this before? Places that i MUST SEE? Maybe even a vehicle you might know to make it? Anything we should be weary about? ANY TIPS, ADVICE, AND EXPERIENCES SHARED would be the most helpful... and probably make for a cool thread! (it will definitely be the biggest report of all time lol) Thanks alot Pachone
  10. Thanks for the feedback! we have already established the rights to canada for the products, and already have 2 types ready to sell, and more on the way.. straight from the manufacturer overseas. I probably not sure if i would give the product on consignment, and allow to store to sell to me... but to maybe even sell them to the stores, and they can sell it for there own use. it all depends. but it raises a good question. thanx so contact the purchasing dept eh? thats what i thought. Would anyone know how to find that contact? the websites arent the easiest to navigate. I was hoping someone knew someone or a friend that does this for a living, or has done it before. Thanks for the feedback guys!
