    Kenworth K270/K370 and Peterbilt Model 200 4x4 Conversion and Misc Questions

    I think it is common knowledge now that Tulsa Truck Manufacturing has been doing the 4x4 conversion for the GXV Kenworth K-370 chassis. We have the 425 size Goodyear G278 super singles on ours. The max speed for these tires is 68 mph and I cruise at 65 on the interstate and 55 on secondary...

    Time Lapse Build

    Wonder what the R value of the panels is? I didn’t see what they were using for heat and hot water?

    EarthCruiser/Core and Total Composites Partnership Announcement

    I expect Total Composites will provide some info but in the mean time... Just for reference, in my opinion, one of the most excellent habitat builds using the Total Composites panels is at this website, look at the Unimog build posts. You can definitely get by with something less perfect but...

    Camper Builder Comparison (UNICAT vs. GXV etc.,)

    Better to discover the disconnect between your dreams and theirs now rather than after spending the money to get something that won’t satisfy everyone involved.

    Thoughts on the Truckhouse Tacoma expedition camper...

    I own a 2008 Roadtrek RS Adventurous on a Sprinter chassis. Roadtrek increased the weight rating on this vehicle after safety testing. No change to the van, Mercedes GVWR was 8550 lb (less than the sum of the front and rear weight ratings). Roadtrek increased the weight rating to 9200 lb (sum of...

    Camper Builder Comparison (UNICAT vs. GXV etc.,)

    If anyone laughs at your amazing chassis that says more about them than you, please let us know what it is... I think there would be general agreement that some of the European builders set the bar for quality builds for larger expedition vehicles. Sounds like you are looking for something...

    PRICE REDUCTION TO $419,000, 2017 GLOBAL EXPEDITION VEHICLE. Kenworth K370/Patagonia 4 x 4 Toy Hauler

    This is not the current for sale ad for this vehicle, it was sold and the next buyer has it for sale. In any case, I think the tanks are the same as ours, 135 gal fresh and 28 gal grey.

    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    There is still the issue that AGM batteries will not last if they are not brought to full charge regularly which is not needed for lithium. I am also suspect of the some of the drop in Lithium batteries in terms of their reliability and ruggedness and quality of the BMS. The marine batteries...

    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    AGM charging is a 3 phase process... Bulk charging at high charge rate to 80-90% state of charge. Absorption charging at a slower rate for the last 10-20% to 100% state of charge which takes 1-2 hours. Float charge to remain at 100% state of charge. Solar works well for topping off the...

    Very reliable so service is not needed very often. They do provide remote support over the internet by connecting to a laptop you have attached to the Mastervolt network via a USB connection. Also you can go one of the marine dealers for service. Victron is another high quality marine equipment...
