We got to Peurto Vallarta with the trailer in one piece. There was a few casualties on the way, including the GPS rite at the start. Then towards the end of the trip, the last 100km, we cooked the trailer brakes coming down the mountain. Presumably the brake pads are gone and they are metal on metal, as the brake controller on the lowest setting locks the wheels up now. That was entertaining. Worst of all we blew the head gasket out on the truck sometime in the last 400km, I think it was up a climb in the last 100km, but can't be sure. It has started the random over heatin, and there is 3 x the oil in the engine rite now, along with lack of antifreeze. That is going to be some adventure trying to get this thing fixed here.
Last night we got pulled over by the Policia, wile we were driving on coble stone. The trailer was bouncing around like crazy on the coble stones, and the Policia said we were driving too fast, and he was going to write us a ticket. We paid him off, $140 pecos, about $14 Canadian, I couldn't stop laughing, it was hysterical. I will get pictures of our camp set up today.
