Now that we are home, we are deep cleaning the truck in preparation to sell. We are surprised how little wear and tear there is after such a long, rugged trip. The truck did awesome and is super clean. 🚛 We were really happy with the way the Tern Overland windows handled the nasty conditions up north. They didn't leak at all, the integrated blinds and screen were awesome, and the double thickness was super warm and cozy. We were a little bit concerned that they would get scuffed by tree branches, but it didn't end up being as bad as we thought. They did end up with some scuffing, but this week, we tried a 3-part (Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 1, 2, and 3) polishing compound that really cleaned them up. They look as good as new, so we are really happy with that. Thanks for the tip @obbeastity! 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

We are home now and it is a very interesting feeling after being out in the wilderness for so long. We definitely got used to living in a cozy, small space. Our house seems too big now, and we already miss the fresh air and wildlife. 🚛 The truck was the ideal vehicle for our trip, and the trip was everything we had hoped it would be. We really don’t think we could have gone to many of the places we went in a lesser vehicle, so we are glad that we chose a Unimog as our base vehicle. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

As an added bonus, we were able to meet up with quite a few friends and former co-workers along the California coast on the last two nights of our trip. 🚛 Santa Cruz, California 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

This was from our first night back in California... between Shelter Cove and Sinkyone. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

We definitely had mixed feelings about our trip coming to an end, but we always love driving the Pacific coast, so it was a nice way to finish up our trip. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

Campgrounds really aren’t our thing (we prefer fresh air to breathing other people’s campfire smoke), and we feel a little bit ridiculous in our rugged off-road truck in a campground, but it just seems to be the reality of the west coast these days. That being said, we actually ended up staying at some nice campgrounds along the Oregon and California coast. 🚛 Oregon Coast 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper

We really avoided organized camping on our whole trip. Finding wild camp spots in the northern wilderness was quite easy and we consistently found beautiful places to camp with no one around for miles and miles. For the middle 4 months of our trip, we didn’t stay at a single organized campground. We really came to enjoy our privacy in wild camp spots. It was a bit of a shock to us to get back to the lower 48 and remember how densely populated everything is and how many more people there are. 🚛 Oregon Coast 🚛 #wabisabioverland #expeditiontruck #expeditionvehicle #overlandadventure #unimog #unimogcamper
