They have already announced their plan to continue with the Fuso this year and next year transition to the GMC branded Isuzu Vortec gasoline chassis doing a similar 4wd conversion as they are doing on the Fuso Vortec. In my mind, they have made a reasonable case for the switch to gasoline...

Ours is a 20’ box on a 182” wheelbase K-370...

need to check that the transmission can handle the added torque...

We chose it since we prefer a cabover for the reasons you mentioned, turning circle, overall length, and view out the cab. Here is the PX-7 spec sheet. Not sure if Kenworth offers PX-7 engine upgrade options after delivery via calibration changes or not but you can check. Not likely you can...

Several builders are switching to gasoline engines, EarthCruiser and Nimbl for example... https://nimblvehicles.com/

Well, they didn’t say no... :)

GXV does sell cabin panels and assembled bare cabins using panels but not bare Adventure Truck cabins. Boxmanufaktur will sell bare cabins also. And, of course, Total Composites sells panels ready to assemble. https://www.globalxvehicles.com/diy.html

Okay, you didn’t answer my question on what parts would be higher quality alternatives to what Tulsa Truck used on our K-370 conversion with a GVWR of 33,000 lb. You did state that Tulsa Truck wasn’t using the highest quality components in your view but didn‘t provide any suggestions for higher...

So, what would be higher quality parts to use on a Kenworth K-370 33,000 lb GVWR truck than the parts used by Tulsa Truck on our conversion, Fabco front axle with manual front hub locks and a Marmon Harrington (Rebranded ZF I believe) two speed transfer case?

This Unicat on an International 7400 chassis is around somewhere too... https://www.unicat.net/en/info/TC52hvcomfort-International74004x4-sh.php

what is the price of this Unicat?

It might have always been importable since the Econoline chassis was also sold in the US when it was new...

I am not positive but I think our GXV Kenworth Patagonia which is almost 3 years old and with 50,000 miles it is likely the one with the most use. No major problems on the truck chassis or 4wd conversion or the camper. Not used much in 4wd though but lots of travel on gravel roads in Alaska and...

The 4wd conversion for the K370 is done by Tulsa Truck Manufacturing and it replaces the front suspension with a drive axle with manual locking front hubs and front air bags and they add a two speed transfer case and new drive shafts. The dual rear wheels are replaced with super single Goodyear...

Would still get a Patagonia with no major differences...

Yes, EC has announced that they will continue building on the gasoline Fuso while chassis are still available and transition to the gasoline GMC cab forward chassis (Isuzu) for their 4wd conversion and camper builds.

we have a 20 ft cabin with the rear 2 ft being a full height rear storage area accessed with a rear garage door. Spare is inside the rear storage. You can use an East West bed in order to get more interior area in front of the bed. Most built after ours have 22 ft or longer cabins with the bed...

As I recall, EC is indicating a queen bed but it is oriented crosswise. Whoever gets up to pee the most at night should sleep on the forward side. Our queen is lengthwise so getting out is a little easier.

Yes, our Mastervolt is set up as a complete system with the Lithium batteries communicating with the rest of the system to control charging. System also controls starting and stopping our Onan generator when needed. Pretty nice set up...
