I expect you would likely not consider us either interesting or adventurous. When we stop people expect to see something other than a couple of typical old baby boomers, probably expecting either some Europeans on a world tour or some other type like that or some famous Instagram personality. I...

Lot’s of people travel full time in high end 40+ ft Diesel Pusher motorhomes that cost as much or more than our GXV, we decided a smaller RV built to higher quality standards and able to go anywhere we want to go made more sense for us. Not a big market for them here but enough to keep a few...

Are you sure they are re-introducing the Siberian? This looks like an old video from when they changed the Siberian design a long time ago before they discontinued it...

Yes, it appears to be a pretty standard RV construction mounted on a heavier duty chassis than used for most truck campers with the goal of “off road” use. It would be good to check the actual cargo carrying capacity to insure that you will not be running close to or above GVWR which can be an...

Here are the Michelin Truck Tire load vs tire pressure tables, typically you add additional pressure above the minimum for a given tire load to insure safe operation. https://www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck_en_us/assets/pdf/load-and-inflation.pdf There should be specs for tire pressure vs...

Very nice, looking forward to seeing details on this build compared to the regular cab...

Well, this thread has certainly gone off into the weeds. Good Luck with the sale...

Pretty common on GXVs and other expensive RVs to have them owned by a Montana LLC to avoid sales tax on the purchase.

In the past, the usual answer I have seen is that cab removal is not required for engine/transmission work/replacement but cab removal is the preferred approach when possible due to ease of doing the work and reduced overall repair cost.

I notice you have a MaxxFan in the bath. Pretty much guaranteed that you will get lots of condensation on the inside of the vent cover in cold weather which will drip down into the circuit board leading to failure. Here is a video with info on preventing/fixing the problem. You may already be...

As I recall, Jason Momoa was in his thirties when he bought a $700,000+ EarthRoamer... :)

Very good, at their price point I would expect to get the highest quality components...

Any idea which lithiums EarthRoamer is using? Some very odd choices in the past with EarthRoamer, for instance, the use of dual pane glass windows should be standard in vehicles in their price range but they stuck with dual pane plastic...

The Turtle and the Patagonia seem to be the most common builds these days...

Which GXV model does your friend have? We have a Patagonia on a 2018 Kenworth K-370 chassis.

Mastervolt lithium’s were introduced in 2012 so the life cycle specs should be pretty well proven in the field.

Whatever works for you. If you are willing to pay for high quality marine electrical systems then the lithium battery systems are very reliable and proven. We happen to have an integrated Mastervolt system in our GXV truck with 720 AH of Lithium batteries, 4000 watt inverter/200 amp charger...

Very good, what are you planning for charging your battery bank? How much solar? What other chargers?

As I recall, you are building on a gasoline RAM. What do you plan to use for a heater?

Two interesting things I noted in the videos. 1. The shower water recycling system returns the water to the water tank after filtering and disinfection, was not sure how it was set up but that makes sense and it is the simplest solution. Not sure about hours of showering with hot water. I guess...
