Adventure Vehicles | Harry Wagner and KP Pawley

Regardless of whether you have a van, a pop-up camper, an RV, a rock crawler or just a basic old pickup truck, the vehicles we own help facilitate the adventures we want to have. In Episode 93, we camp at White Rock Lake with Harry Wagner of @harrysituations and KP Pawley of @zerodeclination and talk all about adventure vehicles and what set-ups are best suited for different purposes. Both Harry and KP have vast experience traveling around the globe and living in different rigs, gaining unique insights on what works – and more importantly – what doesn’t work. They’ve built, driven and seen nearly everything and share with us their experience. Topics include roof top tents, if you need a winch, diesel versus gas, traction boards, the best tires and the most common modifications that make people’s vehicles worse, not better. We also discuss the astronomical cost of new vehicles and some of the best used vehicle values that make for great adventure builds on a budget. Whether you have a six-figure build or just an old beater and a tent on the ground, you can learn a lot in this episode. 2:30 – Recording from White Rock Lake near Mount Lola 5:00 – The legend of the Warren Lake trail 8:00 – All About Adventure Rigs with KP Pawley and Harry Wagner 16:02 – Old and new Toyota Trucks – slow and expensive but reliable 19:00 – How Harry and KP know each other 21:05 – Universal hatred for UTVs and side by sides 24:08 – The difference between people who want a van vs a pickup with a camper 26:20 – Pow Bot’s Ford Bronco he grafted a fiberglass camper onto 29:25 – How important is the pass-thru from cab to camper? 30:20 – A brief background on Harry Wagner’s 4x4 adventure career 31:40 – A brief background on KP Pawley, living full-time in his camper 33:20 – Taking 3 years to drive the Pan American Highway in 2016 34:50 – What was your biggest breakdown on the Pan American Highway trip? 36:47 – Was there a piece of gear that saved your trip? 39:00 – Have you ever been extorted by law enforcement? 42:10 – Is a gray market import from a foreign country a good adventure vehicle? 44:50 – What was Harry’s favorite overlander/adventure vehicle he owned? 46:40 – What is your most essential creature comfort in an adventure vehicle? <p class="MsoNormal" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-sp
