What began as a travel vlog for our ADV rides throughout Utah and then the Pacific Northwest now includes an overland vibe complete with a couple of builds, gear reviews, tips and destinations. Eric was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma, February of 2021. It's a blood cancer, stage four, that's aggressive and incurable. With chemo treatments and the cancer's progression, he knew there'd come a time when he'd have to depend on four wheels to get there, instead of two, but didn't want to limit access to the best Utah has to offer.
And just maybe inspire other people with cancer along the way.

While still getting his feet back under him after the C2C ride, Eric introduces two products from Lochby that he'll be using on his next more abbreviated ride.

More than a compilation of the C2C updates, this gets a bit deeper into the coast-to-coast trip where Ed and Eric experience the nuances of the Southern States and the separation of a breakdown. Was it all Eric thought it would be? Watch and find out.

Dope build
glad you still with us Ive been a victon the the bad a lomg time and every day obove ground is a blessing . hang in there . Im in my 80s and been living in vehicles a lot in my life i hope that my honda turns out to be similar to yours
Good job man. I'm praying for you.
Love the light set up at 1:10 reminds me of power rangers turbo
I really enjoy your build, very functional and well executed. Take care.
Great build ❤
Thank you.
What a great walk-thru. I believe you will thoroughly enjoy the build you've created.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. I love it so far.
Thank you for the tour of your setup. Love it! Happy Trails to you, and Jack✌️
Thanks, and Jack says thanks, too.
Wow, I really like what all you have done. I'm interested in your fridge bed build, very impressed. Enjoy your new travel life and be safe.
Thank you. More details on the fridge install here: corneringcampsites.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/the-bed-insert/
Very nice 👍🏽
Thank you.
Love the roof set up.
Thanks. More details on the roof can be found here: corneringcampsites.wordpress.com/2024/08/02/aerogenics-roof-rack/
Hey man the element looks amazing! Can I request get a video breaking down your solar/power system or a couple of links of what solar panel you got going on! I really like how it is set up I might have to try to Chinese blueprint it too mine hahah! Thank you!
The battery system is an EcoFlow River Pro Solar Generator. I picked it up during Amazon Days. What I didn't anticipate was spending a lot of time in the PNW where I've depended more on 12V charging. us.ecoflow.com/products/river-2-pro-portable-power-station
I needed a new car, after my old lease was up and I found a 2008 Element on FB marketplace. I was also surprised by the cult following in the PNW (so glad that I am within driving distance of some of these places). Anyway, great build, and hope to the Vanadium on the road someday. :)
I hope so, too.
Awesome build! I like it a lot. If you don’t mind me asking. What fridge and data device on the dash are you using?
This gets into the fridge: corneringcampsites.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/the-bed-insert/
And this is the inclinometer: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGNR8D6Z
What an awesome build! I started following you when I was thinking about a Motorcycle, but now you have landed on one of my favorite things. I am on my 2nd element and thinking about another. Maybe our paths will cross on a Utah journey. Peace.
Glad to cover a couple of bases with you.
You have a super nice build 😊
Thank you.
New to your channel. Excited to along on your Journey! 😊
Happy to have you along.
@@UTADV thanks ☺️
Does anybody know if this product has been developed and able to purchase?
It's about ready to go into production but not available just yet. If you're interested in being a product tester, I can put you in touch with the developer.
@@UTADVinterested if it could be adapted to a Softopper .. perhaps a simple frame to make the Softopper rear window rigid so it acts like a convential lift gate to attach the tent to.
Great build! We've been following your build on the Facebook groups. It's really come together! Hope we get to cross paths in the future! Safe travels 🤙🤙
Thank you. Jack and I hope so, too.
Watching the video. Wow so nice. I'm doing something similar.
Thank you. Love to see it.
Hey Eric, I love this update a lot. I'm curious about whether you have a toilet setup for your current adventures?
I do. I have a folding toilet seat (three legs) sourced form Sportsmans' along with a bag containment and chemical system.

Wow prayers to you. Amazing our vision with the vehicle and a point in our lives as we travel. 🙏

Hi Eric.....glad to see you are still at it.....I hope our paths can cross at some point. Enjoy each day as I trust you will. Another awesome build! Super curious about the dash aux instrument cluster thingy.....share details when you can. Brian
Brian, thanks. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGNR8D6Z
Great build! Prayers for your remission and enjoy that Element one day at a time!
Thank you.
Hi Eric, I do like the build and I hope to copy a few things in the future. Right now I have a full platform with drawers. I think its too heavy after seeing what you and others are doing so next year out it will go. Hope I can spring for the swivel seat too. Im glad to hear you are in remission. Been there done that. The bucket list has grown and Im still around. If you find your way up to the Bend OR area, I have parking nd camping spots on my ranch. Stop by, do some laundry, have a meal and let me give Jack some scratches and he can play with my dogs too. Safe travels.
Thank you, Robin. Bend is on my list.
Nice build! Good luck with your adventures and future endeavors.
Thank you.
Sweeeet!!!
Thanks, Eric.
Respect.
Why don`t you install a simple PayPal button, for those, who like to say thank you 🤔 Just opened you Homepage 👍👍👍, very good work, Sir.
The clips are a great idea. What diameter clips did you use on the Tiger 800? Thank you.
Thanks. The diameter was just under an inch, and this was on my 1200. Didn't do the hack on the 800.
@@UTADV Thank you
Erzählt nur seine Lebensgeschichte.
Wow, Eric. As I'm thinking I'd never attempt such an ambitious trip even in my Gladiator, probably doubling the travel time, you're telling us, "You never know what you can do until you do it." You're so very right. Thanks for the video. But I still want the book.
i went from a tiger 800 to a klr 650 haha
This whole video is of the guys face. Disliked
Thanks, Eric. Some cool looking products. As for video, even if it's just a few stills from your phone, I hope you give us a rundown on your next trip. Always appreciate sharing in your adventures that way.
Eric, create another Go Fund Me page for the purchase of a new rear wheel! I am sure your friends, like me, would give a little to help fund a new wheel. Think about it!
Hi Mike! I appreciate the thought and your generosity, but can't in good conscience ask for funds for something this material.
Interesting products. I’m going to seriously consider a couple things. And good luck on your future trip. I know what you mean that recording it, even if it’s just by photography as I do, can be exhausting. It’s a double edged sword though, because you have less to share when you get home. That was the case with a recent trip I did in Eastern Oklahoma. Saw some incredible sights from a weekend of backwoods gravel road riding but took almost no photos at all.
I've dealt with gadgetitus throughout my career in production, always looking for better gadgets, lenses, better mics and mixers, etc. It's a bane that's followed me into riding where I've since found that my iPhone can do everything I need and reduce my frustrations with GoPro cameras. The exhaustion has gotten in the way of capturing a frame, motoring by too much that could've told the story so much better than a bike-mounted action camera. Love to hear more about your trip.
Hey Eric, I have my Tiger 1200 cast wheels that I've never used. If you feel there won't be any issues, taking them to Alaska. Off roading on the dirt and paved should be fine. Up to you as I'd be happy to assist. I'm in SLC.
Wow, Eric, that's very kind of you. It's more than just the rear wheel that keeping me from going that far. As I assess its integrity for the Pacific Coast ride, I might take you up on your offer. Email me at utadvmoto@gmail with your price.

Eric I'm so glad you're safe and had such a meaningful experience. I'm sorry Ed couldn't finish it with you, but glad he was there for so much. You've got me planning my next trip because, you're right, we do never know what we're capable of. Thank you for sharing. It was wonderful to travel along with you.
Deb, thank you. Ed was still there even without the bike, texting me along the way. I'd love to hear what you're planning. Once I get the rear rim replaced on my Tiger, I'm hoping to make it back out to Northern California.
I’m sorry I missed you coming through St Louis. I could have offered a meal and a bed. As well as a more interesting and safer way across the state. But it sounds like you got through it. 👍
Had I remembered that’s where you are, I would’ve been in touch. Made it through, safe and sound, less one spoke.
It's great to hear that voice, One of the best educators i ever had....cheers to you eric
Great to hear from you. Thanks for touching base. Malo.
Hi Eric! Great to see you. I love listening to your updates. I'm glad you gave yourself an extra day. I'm learning I have to do the same for myself. Safe, swift, and smooth travels to you.
Thank you. It’s all in the pacing. Great to hear from you.
Eric! So glad to know you're doing well! Those long days can really kick your butt. I'm glad you added in an extra day. Stay safe and enjoy the ride.
Thank you. This leveled it out for me. Five hundred mile days used to be no problem, now they’re no bueno.
Glad to see your continuing progress, and to hear you had the sense to add a day to take some of the stress off your body and your mind along the way.
Like the sense I had to ride across the country and back?
My home town!!! Beautiful looking ride man
Nice going! Ride back safe. ✌️
Thank you for bringing us along on this trip, Eric. Have a safe trip home.
It seems to be the way of your travels, Eric, that they don’t adhere to plan. But when has your life ever done so? I tell my kids that maybe the best life lesson they can learn is that of resilience, and you (and Ed) are certainly showing yours. Safe travels home to the both of you and let’s reconnect soon.
