Sounds like this is going to be a trip not to be missed, the best part is that it is a family trip.
Wouldn't miss it for the World, can't wait!
This would be great! Working towards it.
Great Idea! I'll be watching this thread with interest.
Just can't do it damn it!!

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.

Such is the rule of honour.
Crossing from East to West is a more difficult crossing as the East Side (your up side) of each sand dune is steeper and from West to East will be the Down side. Also note that 95% of the traffic will be going West to East and at that time of year you would expect to have to pull over for on coming 10 or 15 times a day i reckon. THis would be a fairly slow trip over and time should be allowed for the hold ups. Probably at least an extra day or more for the trip East West.Originally Posted by macca86

OK, I'm super keen for this trip.
To be honest, I have no idea how to prepare/setup for a trip like this.
Is it do able with a camper trailer? or are you better off with a tent?
What about water and food? how many days supply do I need to have on board?
Tyres......I guessing a good A/T tyre will be better then a road or M/T tyre?
I appreciate the safety in numbers and see it's do able with petrol engines so I assume diesel fuel isn't a problem at all.
What other vehicle preparations should be done?
Ensure your bus is mechanically sound.
You'll want around 100ltrs + of fuel I recon. Diesel is not a problem.
Good set of tread, AT's are fine.
Atleast 30-40ltrs of water.
Recovery gear.
Camper can be done for most places, but depending on schedule there may be one night stays. So if you don't mind setting up and packing down it'll be fine.
Some good recovery gear, and accessories like tyre gauges, patches, plugs etc
Others will chip in with more but its a start
