Go go go. Looks comfy!
Hot showers are over rated. You could always get a sun shower or one of those long tube things that hang off the roof (but dang they are pricey).
Have a blast, travel far, wide and safe!

2 months! A sea of possibilities before you, and spot to come back to when it’s all done. That’s the life :)
Your’re going to miss us, but hopefully you can find WiFi here and there. Try the Mobile Mart below Tuolumne if you make it out west!

I totally get the multi meter joke. Did not bring mine as those kinds of repairs to involved for myself. The scanner is great as it tells you what the check engine light means. Peace of mind. No transmission codes for us. Just a harmless emission evap leak. Just crossed back into the US and swam in lake Michigan.

Nick,
The evap leak code could be from your gas filler cap being a skitter. Take it off and look at the rubber gasket to see if it's dried up and/or has small cracks in it. If it does it's best to just replace it.
Wipe off the gasket and the filler neck where the gasket seals. Then make sure the cap is closed down tight.
It might take several cycles of turning the car on and off for the check engine light to go off.
Was the OBD code P0456?
Jim
