Sorry to hear of your woes. Not much use to you right now, but from your description it sounds like you may have a poor earth connection from the body to the engine block/battery return. When an earth lets go you can get all sorts of odd interactions between different components as the current "tries" to find an alternative path.
Enjoy your trip.
I fully agree with John - it is very symptomatic of poor earthing. The time honoured practice of using the chassis/bodywork as a conductor is deeply flawed, and when the time comes to investigate it I would start there. John is an electrical guru and I respect his diagnosis.
Have a good trip, and I will be in contact.
Cheers
Bob
