Tommy if you and Mia start with Austria, Switzerland and the French Alps I will be green with envy. Per-Arne and Else planned just that and invited us then covid hit. Like the others mentioned you surely know we would love to have you stay with us if you hit Florida at some point. The borders opening in Norway is something we are watching close as well with summer approaching and it looks like Tromsø and some points north are getting hit hard and now Italy. Looks like the borders will be closed for quite sometime. You surely have some fantastic roads in Norway to practice on.

Jerry, the first trip will be in Europe, and a trip through the alps is mandatory. After covering the south western parts I think of crossing over towards Transylvania and north through the Balkans.

It sounds like you have some great aspirations for this trip and I hope you have a great adventure all zero trouble along the way.

To me it sounds like your asking a lot out of your electrical system. I don’t know how big your trailer is but if there’s room, possibly mounting a small battery in your trailer instead of a direct feed from the bike to all components.

Also, if possible finding a way to run an AC line into/on to your trailer in case of emergency and you’re in a location you can plug into electrical service.

Having another smaller battery or portable power source would be a good option too, but again I’m not sure the size of your trailer and what provisions you already have in mind to bring.

I wish you and your daughter a wonderful experience and safe travels. Go slow whenever possible and soak it all in.
