    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Have not weighed it yet but plan to when we have it loaded up for the trip to Alaska. I think your estimate is accurate for a 20 ft box configuration like ours. As I noted above, I expect it to weigh at least 26,000 lb fully loaded with full fuel and water. I have not guessed at the weight of...

    Our 20 ft box weighed in at 22,415 lb at delivery from GXV. It was delivered from Kenworth at 10,412 lb before any mods for 4wd, etc.

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Our 20 ft box Kenworth Patagonia probably weighs around 24,000-25,000 lb fully loaded as we typically travel. Filled all the way up for a long trip and with the full 130 gal of water and 200 gal of diesel would probably could get up to 26,000 lb or so..

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    I have no experience so far on really bad roads. Did take it down some rough back roads around Lake Superior when we did a circle tour last fall but nothing that required anything but 4wd and low gear on some steep hills. I did not attempt to go down to the end of the road on one when it became...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    One of the big advantages of the Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 is the range of options for cabin size and interior living space vs internal/external storage space. If you look at the four initial builds shown on the GXV website, there are 3 with a 20" cabin length and one with a 18.5' cabin...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    With about 14,000 miles on it (mostly highway at 65 mph) the mileage is running around 8.4 mpg, this is with the 260 HP PX-7 and 6 speed Allison option that GXV orders. GXV has the option now for an upgrade to King shocks and we got that upgrade last month along with cab seat upgrades and a...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    With the well insulated panel construction used by GXV they handle the cold without any trouble. We have a Webasto Dual Top for diesel heat and hot water with no issues in getting heat in cold temperatures. There is also the option for a Webasto hydronic system for heat and hot water. The...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Kevin, Expo East was interesting, first time I have been to one. Learned a lot from the classes and saw a lot of nice vehicles. We just returned from a shakedown trip around Lake Superior. No real comparison to the Roadtrek Sprinter. No issues with going down bad roads with the high clearance...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Of the first 4 Patagonias on the Kenworth chassis, only the original one had the big garage for the Polaris Rayzor. There may be others coming along configured that way. Ours (#3) is the same length as the original but the bed is lower so not enough room under the bed for an ATV. #1 and #2...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Probably head away from hot weather but not sure where yet. If we had gotten delivery earlier we would have headed to Alaska but we want to be in FL in October so we might head to the Canadian Maritimes after we do a short shakedown trip. Mountains out west is another option. Planning to be at...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Basically, traded 20" of rear storage for 20" deep cabinet with storage for 15 totes of several sizes. We found the totes and tailored the cabinet dimensions to the totes.
