Hi ya Jean. Great trip,I must finish off reading about it I like your Conqueror Compact trailer. I got to inspect them and meet the australian(well south african expats really) distributors at a recent 4wd and camping show.
Their trailers were attracting a lot of interest.

I had one MT that developed deep cuts on the side wall in Ghana, this was after about 40 000 km's. But no punctures exept a spike into the tire in Ethiopia, this I repaired with a plug.

Wow 70,000 km's with only one flat-that is impressive!
Great shots- thanks for posting.
