KNOW WHAT TO TAKE
According to Glen , planning is the first step . Listen to the advice of travellers who have already visited the destination . That will help you anticipate the sort of conditions that you are likely to encounter .
Once you ’ ve decided on your route , establish a plan . What sort of conditions might you run into ? Glen said that as part of that planning it is very important to “ take into consideration the load capacities of both the vehicle and van ”.
