    Is this a Unimog failure or a GXV failure? (Pic included)

    Yeah, so wow... I guess the standards are just generally low in this market segment. I would have thought/expected at least one player in this game would "do things right". Color me discouraged. Back to square one... Maybe I'll just get an F650 and live with it.

    Is this a Unimog failure or a GXV failure? (Pic included)

    Barely driving.. "In these conditions the GXV/Unimog is simply horrible. We have tried hard today to cover distance and all we could manage for the day was an average speed of 60km/h (36 mph) and that does not count rest breaks. The high center of gravity of the vehicle (thanks to the high and...

    Is this a Unimog failure or a GXV failure? (Pic included)

    Okay, so I just spent the better part of an hour reading the historical posts in whiteacorn's blog, and have arrived at some alarming conclusions. Now let me start by admitting that my expertise in offroad expedition vehicles is limited. However, I can tell you that my expertise in performance...

    Is this a Unimog failure or a GXV failure? (Pic included)

    Here is the direct source. Strangely, it seems that they were on a relatively smooth grade when this happened... Odd http://www.whiteacorn.com/post/rtw/130426 I tried reaching out to GXV, but haven't been able to reach anyone or get a returned phone call. Maybe they're all at/ headed to...

    Is this a Unimog failure or a GXV failure? (Pic included)

    I recently resumed my search for a towing/travel rig for my boat and still kinda sitting on the fence between an ER and GXV. I saw this update on a blog I follow and was a bit concerned. My question is this: was this a failure of the Unimog or the GXV? If its the Unimog, i'm not overly concerned...

    Earthroamer factory visit

    I know this is an old post, but how did you arrange for the factory visit? I'm going to be in Denver next month, and I thought it might be good to stop in. Still looking for a rig to tow my boat around the US

    New guy here... Looking for some guidance

    Ford, Thanks for the insight as my knowledge on these behemoths is lacking. I looked into some of the euro offerings, and while they seem quite capable, most of them are horrendous to look at IMO. Unimog and Unicat looks like Michael Bay movie reject. Not exactly the type of thing that looks...

    A different 4x4 coach manufacture in the states.

    Wow, these look like some remarkable vehicles and might just fit my specific needs. Im not he'll bent on having 4x4 capabilities (although it would be a HUGE plus). Do these rigs retain their original towing capacities? The boat I'm need to tow is about 5 tons without the trailer.

    New guy here... Looking for some guidance

    Im thanks for the responses! Ill definitely look into both the GXV and earth roamers amongst others. I'm really wanting something I can tow my boat to poker runs to in style as well as something i can call my "habitat" away from home. When I'm not en route to poker runs, I'm wanting to do some...

    New guy here... Looking for some guidance

    Hey everyone! Just kinda stumbled in here, while doing some research on a future rig. I'm a power boating and travel enthusiast, and thought I might find a way to combine these two in one. I mainly boat in my region because my Tahoe is not nearly capable of towing a 10k pound boat around the...
