Hi Coach Will, Sounds like a fantastic journey! Suggest, quality rain gear. The best 12 volt air tire pump at Harbor Frieght and a small battery tender I use a Sears. Check the oil level in the rear bevel box at the orange oil fill cap on the side. You will need a squirt bottle and fill very slowly to do it correctly. I used Red Line Extreme. Last but most importantly modify to a stage 1 exhaust as you will be facing the hot summertime temperatures! If your M3W has exhaust wraps remove them. Here is my Stage 1 conversion and it has worked very well and sounds really good! http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php...ays_#Post442461Another suggestion, I don’t think there too many US Morgan dealerships ( good to know each one) however there are a lot of custom hot rod shops and speed shops all across the country. Most of these guys would welcome you and are “get-ur-done” kind of guys. Good luck and I’m here in Baltic, Ohio if your heading through on the beautiful two lanes!

when the M3W was first announced, I thought how wonderful it would be to do exactly what you are planning. I hope you have a fantastic trip!

If it has not been done, swap out the S&S rectifier for the Harley unit. Peace of mind.
John. Do NOT do this on a 2017 car. My 2016 is perfect with almost 10,000 miles. Have a lust of every M3W dealer with you. No spares, just a cell phone, credit card and a smile. I can spend all day on my BMW R9T, but after a spirited hour in my M3W I need a 😴.

I recommend a small scissors jack and battery powered compressor for fixing flats. I did a trip last summer and used the compressor once, the rear tire valve core was simply loose (check them before you leave)
