    Big custom camper sightings

    Not too many Unicats on North American truck chassis. That looks like the one that was for sale a couple years ago.

    Sand mats

    I have only used them once and only on one side. The one I used did get bowed but I drove over it after turning it over on flat ground and it flattened back out and went back in place where they are stored (they are stacked and bolted to the underside of the camper box above the generator on the...

    Sand mats

    Two of the larger size of these are what GXV provided in the extraction kit we purchased with our truck. They will get curved when used but I turned them over and drove over them on a flat surface to straighten them out again. http://www.okoffroad.com/stuff-sandladders-aluminum.htm

    Garmin Overlander

    So, it is an Android tablet running apps from Garmin, iOverlander, etc, which are available for most Android tablets? For now I will stick with my Samsung tablet running Gaia GPS and any of these other apps I need until I see how it is going to provide enough value for the money spent...

    not too shabby

    If you have two adults and two children and decided you wanted the dual cab option so they can ride up front, maybe even in a rear facing car seat on the rear seats, is it possible to have the front bench seats in the cabin become a bed for the children. I agree that four adults might be a tight...

    Nice overview... Two kitchen mods we made after using the truck for awhile... We replaced the standard GXV paper towel holder with one of these mounted closer to the bottom of the cabinets and added a towel bar underneath to dry kitchen towels...

    Overland Recovery Gear We Use & How We Pack It in The Garage Area In Our GXV Turtle

    We do keep our recovery gear in the aluminum boxes on the roof rack over our truck cab, but, now that you mention it, it would be easy to access in the even of a tip over. :) We did it simply because we store stuff we don’t need to use very often on the roof rack.

    3 Fixes To The MaxxAir Fan in Our GXV Turtle

    I have the MaxxAir fan shade but haven’t istalled it yet so I appreciated the info. I found that even with an insulated cover on the bottom of the fan (I used Reflectix but it is similar to yours) there was significant condensation when it was cold. I don’t know if adding the fan shade will...

    **NO LONGER FOR SALE** 2018 Global Expedition Vehicles Turtle XL on RAM 5500 - 14,000 miles

    We sold our house a year ago and have been living in it full time since then and it has worked out great. We make a few tweaks every once in awhile but we have no regrets on the purchase. Off to Alaska again this year and next year we will probably head to the Canadian Maritimes for a return...

    **NO LONGER FOR SALE** 2018 Global Expedition Vehicles Turtle XL on RAM 5500 - 14,000 miles

    If you find out that there are not seatbelts on the dinette I suggest you contact GXV to see if they can add them. We have two seatbelts on the side bench seat on our GXV Patagonia model in order to take 4 people since our Kenworth truck only has two seats in the cab.

    GXV Adventure Truck vs GXV Turtle. 4 reasons for our decision.

    Still planning our trip. Pick up our truck at GXV on Tuesday and getting some other work done on it before we head to Big Bend. We have no specific time to leave there so when we decide to leave Big Bend we will plan the general route to get to our daughter in BC and have an idea of when we...

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    We also use the heavy duty version of the 1UP USA rack for two electric bikes on the back of our GXV truck, as you said, expensive but very good rack. For a bike cover we just got one of these, haven’t used it yet so no report on it. Seems to be well made here in the US... http://usaroadbag.com/
