I don’t know how much of the problem with getting the right tow company out to us is specific to Coachnet. Any of the roadside assistance plans will be using the same tow companies and if they have no experience in a specific area they probably do not have any preferred tow company that they...

We were camped at Teklinika campground 30 miles inside Denali NP in our GXV Patagonia for 2 1/2 weeks at the end of August and the day we left (the day before the campgrounds in the park close and the busses stop running) I heard a grinding noise when I started the truck but it stopped quickly...

Saw these for sale at the Kenworth dealer in Fairbanks when we got towed there from the park road inside Denali NP and bought a set last week to use with the chains... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BTAREA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Have not tried to test fit them, something on the always long list of things to do. Cleary should do a test fit someplace where it is nice and warm and paved instead of waiting until I really need them to see if they fit... Pretty standard instructions for installation...

Since we were going to return from Alaska in October, I wanted to comply with the BC winter driving regulations. You can find them online with a Google search. For our Kenworth Patogonia, which is classified as an RV, we are not required to carry chains since the Goodyear G278 tires we have are...

Saw it at Overland Expo last month, very nice rig with the usual high quality construction from EarthCruiser

I checked with GXV when I first saw about the rollover and they had already been in contact with the owner, don’t know anything about the extent of the damage to the camper or the truck. The Kenworth K-370 pedals are very close to each other in a tight space and it is pretty easy to be pushing...

No kidding, fortunately this forum seems to pretty much avoid the macho BS responses that are common on social media, the post on the incident over in the Unimog section was void of it. The posts on Facebook and Instagram of the incident were 99% BS reponses and 1% reasonable. Such is the age of...

No need to surmise, the article explains what happened...

This is a popular option on GXV vehicles when there is dinette seating.

I suggest you contact GXV to inquire on the details of the 4x4 conversion...

Just noticed that the specified max speed for the G278 is 68 mph, not the 65 mph that I mentioned I used as the max speed.

Yes, this has been my plan. Thanks for the info I needed for the Goodyear tire load specs.

Max speed on highway is 65 mph with tire pressure no lower than tire inflation load charts above but max speed would be lower if you reduce tire pressure off highway as shown in the military brochure above, tires still handle the same load at the lower max speeds.

I also use a TPMS system that has temperature in addition to pressure.

I am using a cold tire pressure of 95 psi front and rear which was the pressure recommended by GXV for highway driving. The ride is very smooth on the highway at this pressure and I limit the speed to the 65 mph limit for the tires. When I get a chance to weigh the truck I will look at the...

I sent you a message with my email. Might be easier to discuss the details via email. I assume you are referring to the underbed storage cabinet that is accessed from inside the camper. We use 4 different sizes of IRIS Weathertight totes on three shelves, the bottom shelf for larger totes and...

It is titled and registered as an RV/Motorhome in Florida so anybody can drive it with a normal license, pretty much the same for RVs of most sizes in most states. Now you know why you should drive defensively around all the old folks who are thundering down the highway in their RVs. And I...

I ordered the digital one with the 6 ft hose. Yes, there is the safety factor of not being next to the tire if you ever had a blowout during inflation. I also bought a set of the Coyote deflators, they were the only ones I saw that could be set to 50 psi, most don’t go that high...

The tires are rated at 11,400 lb max load each so no way they will get that load. Truck chassis weighed 10,412 lb delivered from Kenworth before 4wd conversion. Delivered to us from GXV it weighed 22,415 lb and then with full water (1000 lb) and fuel (1400 lb) and us and our stuff we are...
