    Aldo and Vera, thank you so much for the great tour of Toto. I too have a Prado, and they really are the best cars. Safe travels always.

    Wow! Your videos are so informative of the details! Thank you so much. You should set up an Amazon recommendations page to get some kickbacks on the gear you recommend. I hope lots of people find your channel. I want to drive around the world. I just have to find someone else likable who wants to too. Can you do a video on how you got along during the challenges?

    Hello, I’m interested in knowing what the mileage is now two years later . I saw that Toto needed some welding work in Africa. Is there much life left in the bodywork and chassis or has the dreaded rust taken over?

    This is great, love your videos!
    I'm contemplating a long road trip myself through tropical countries. So I'm curious how you cope with heat in the car in the evening/night, especially when it's also raining so you can't keep your windows open more than a few centimeters?

    • @ALVETOEXPEDITIONeng
      @ALVETOEXPEDITIONeng  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Lars ! Well, first we don't use the air conditioning so our bodies cope better with the heat. We do have a couple of fans that help us with the air circulation and we can open the windows down to 10 cm. ( we have wind/rain covers on the upper sides of our doors if you look closely at our Toto') We tend to avoid the wrong seasons, we try to plan our route and time of the year in a certain country accordingly. We had of course some bad nights over the years, heat, mosquitoes, noises and much more, but luckily we have now enough experience to chose wisely our camp spots... and if we really cannot cope with the weather... there is always the option to check in at the nearest hostel. Hope this Helps ! All the Best and good luck with your plans ! Safe Travels !

    Hi o am Bob in laos me and m'y 2 wive,ourLand cruiser 105 2004 m'y question IS if i built a good bed inside Can we sleep 3 of us confortabily?

    • @ALVETOEXPEDITIONeng
      @ALVETOEXPEDITIONeng  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Robert, we loved Laos, and we remember how good was your Beerlao, for us the best beer of all South East Asia. The bed inside our prado is 180cm x 120cm probably in the 105 you may get an extra 15/20 cm in width. Saying "to sleep comfortably" it wouldn't be appropriate, maybe 2 adults and a small child can be possible but for 3 adults i don't think so.For 1 or 2 nights can be ok, but not for example if at night is 35C temperature and humidity like is in Laos. Maybe consider an extra camp tent to place on the ground or maybe a rooftent for 3 people. All the best and good luck with the build!! Safe Travels 😊

    Nice guys! Love to Overland. We will be doing some this Summer in North and South Dakota. Then, we will be driving around the World starting in 2025. We just got started building our channel before hitting the road full-time in a couple years. As a father son team of adventurous anthropologists, we are excited to teach as we go through over 100 countries. If you like history, culture and nature. We would love your input on our channel as we grow.
