SOLD (details and notes within) The vehicle is now SOLD into British Columbia and is headed for Asia. The sales process has been an interesting adventure. For those who later search this thread up and contemplate selling a similar vehicle, I'll leave a few notes here on my findings. First...

With the installed Q21 pintle hitch the towing capacity is listed as 30,000lb for gross trailer weight. I see that there is/was a Q20 option which would result in a 45,000lb towing capacity but I don't know what that consists of. In terms of weight on the tongue, as last weighed with about...

Ah, you were replying while I was editing my post above. Basically, I have concluded that it *is* straightforward to expand the opening downward on both sides by about 12 inches. There is no wiring or plumbing on either cab or camper side in that space beneath the center portion of the...

I'm not going to say that it'd be impossible, but the amount of rework it'd cause seems extreme to me. In fact, I suspect you'd find that you would not be done until you'd completely remodeled the interior. There is just so much interconnection between systems coming together there, just...

Linz, there is no stand up pass through. The camper and cab windows do line up and slide in a compatible way, but only a very nimble person could scramble through without landing a foot on the air brake release, etc, on the way. Modification for things to be otherwise wouldn't be practical...

Yet more photos - bed platform, underbed storage areas I've added pictures of the bed area without the mattress showing the lift up panels that give access to three storage areas, the webasto air heater, and top access to two external storage areas. The new pictures are at the very first...

SOLD The bike has now been sold. Thanks all.

Storage space spreadsheet and more photos I've received requests for more photos on the exterior storage, cassette toilet, mat jacks, control console, stove, and shower. I've now added those to a separate album on the website but you can get straight to them here. I also added my interior...

Yes, it is much more durable than a derailleur cassette and is immune to mud fouling.

Not sure if you were serious, but I believe the answer is "not very". Even with creative wheel & camper removal the show-stopper appears to be the width. My understanding of ocean container dimensions is that they are 7'8" wide at the door and interior? While the bare outside wall to wall...

** SOLD ** 2011 Fandango 29er Rohloff Mountain Tandem bicycle located in Winchester, VA - $4300 Captioned pictures are here and on a sidebar of our travel blog here. This is an optimal tandem rig for single track, the GDMBR, road tour, or blasting down the W&OD and Allegheny Passage. It has...

More interior pics I received some requests for better wet bath pictures, a closer look at the wall coverings, and of the table. Those have now been uploaded. Cab pictures were also uploaded yesterday in case you were an early looker and missed them.

Good eye, Ron. Yes, when towing the large JK with 35" tires, garvin roof rack with bikes on the top, and about 500 lbs of gear in the jeep, I see between 7 and 7.5. Without the jeep but with the usual ~2-4K lbs of water, fuel, and gear, I get mostly mid 8s to mid 9s. However, there's a...

This vehicle is registered in South Dakota and so it is no issue for me, however, this is my understanding -- privately-used RVs are excepted on page two of the final regulation order and are defined on page ten. /David

Update: This vehicle has been sold. See last post for details / comments. Thanks all. After several intense years of full time adventure travel, we're rolling to a stop and have decided to sell our GXV Unimog camper. Details and pictures can all be found at UnimogXRV.com but the short...

SOLD -- All items sold All these items have now been sold. Thanks much.

Pull Pals and PowerTank are sold; only the winch remains It looks like the pull pals and the powertank have been sold. Thanks all for the interest. I'm not getting any love yet on the winch (http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/tls/3335078812.html). I will come down some on the price, but I'm...

ALL ITEMS HAVE NOW BEEN SOLD -- OCT 17 2012 -- THANKS! After 3+ years of full time travel, my wife and I are "going stationary" in San Diego for a few years and will be selling all our expo gear including our Unimog GXV camper. At the moment I have posted Craigslist ads for the following: Two...

Sure, PM anytime. John (of John's 4x4) is a great guy and his shop does more fabrication than most. That failing, Mike of GXV has many other fabrication resources in the Springfield area. On the trailer, it'd seem like lateral stability will be the primary challenge. It could be the...

I have a GXV U-500 and have towed a JK for 20K+ miles using a custom long tow bar hanging off the U-500's pintle hitch and connecting to the jeep via its bumper D-ring shackle eyelets. The hitch breaks into three pieces using standard hitch pins with the arms stored on the jeep's roof rack...
