No one seems to be able to compete very well with Isuzu, 500,000 sold over here...

Looks like 100,000 is a good number https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuso_Trucks_America

There are definitely other options besides EC for the 4wd conversion of an Isuzu NPR. I have seen several mentioned here, see if a search finds them.

Some of the GXV Kenworth owners have done that, maybe they will provide some info on the results...

Fuel tank in rear.... https://fordauthority.com/fmc/ford/ford-e-series/2021-ford-e-series/

Very good, higher than the EKKO which being sold at around $125,000 but it isn’t as well insulated. Front seats part of the camper on yours?

1/5 of an EarthRoamer LT base price would be $120K. Is that with a finished interior?

The Transit doesn’t have the GVWR for those applications so the E series may just go on a lot longer than they predicted, must be good profits with the development costs low at this point.

The E series seems to still be a go to chassis for box trucks and Class C RVs...

Here is an example of a US military surplus 6x6 converted to a camper, currently for sale but maybe not the layout you would want. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2016-gxv-6x6-fmtv-29’-w-gear-garage.215271/

Did you see this? https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ford-2007-f350-gsa-box-van-59k-4x2-12-500.203397/

That is a big leap to an 8x8, if you could live with a 6x6 then you could go with an Acela 6x6 or the original 6x6 military surplus truck. https://www.acelatruck.com/trucks/monterra-6x6

Buy an E series cutaway and get a 4 wheel drive conversion and have a Total Composites box mounted to create your own custom EKKO like rig. Total Composites can refer you to companies that can do as much of the build as you want...

No issues with the shocks so far in 3 years and 50,000 miles...

This is the King that makes the shocks on our GXV Kenworth... http://www.kingshocks.com/

Not sure driving a bare 2wd chassis is going to tell you much since without any weight it is not going to ride very well and the front suspension and tires will be nothing like the final build. Maybe you could take a GXV for a test drive at GXV if they have one available. The 4wd conversion...

Our 33,000 lb GVWR GXV is titled as a motorhome and has been registered in Michigan originally and now Florida. Regular drivers license is legal to drive motorhomes of any weight in those two states which would make it legal in all states where you drive. Have no idea what happens anywhere else...

Very nice...

Road manners are fine. Insure through Progressive but cost won’t apply since it is insured for full replacement value at the GXV price.
