Thanks Greg, Waveslider and others with GXV Patagonias on K370s for all of your information and sharing of experiences. All of this thread has been immensely helpful as I have been considering purchasing a Patagonia on a 4x4 K370. I have visited GXV and toured them, as well as have had many calls with the team there discussing my ideal layout but have yet to drive one and would like to understand better just how they drive. Can you share some more about road noise, ride comfort on and off road particularly with washboard roads, and anything that you really feel is a must as far as options? Thank you much. Feel free to reach out directly if you prefer. I am considering a 182" wheelbase, what size wheelbases do you have?
As a reference point, I have owned two Sprinters, each custom builds, second one a 4x4 with modified suspension and also each with a large garage to accommodate bikes and other outdoor gear inside, which is the route I am taking with a Patagonia, a large full height walk thru garage in the rear to accommodate all outdoor gear, as this will become a full-time living, working and traveling platform with the intent of living "off-grid" most or all of the time (i.e. limited campgrounds and shore power time) with ability to grab a piece of gear and go play each day.
Another question is that I am considering foregoing a generator and just using solar and vehicle for recharging. Because I live ands travel in mostly dry and fairly cool western North American environments and don't plan to spend much time in warmer or humid climates, I am going with a smaller non-roof mounted AC unit which should suffice for my intended use and batteries should run that for 1-2 days straight without solar, so hence a generator is likely unnecessary and I can repurpose that space for additional fuel and/or storage. So question is, how much are you actually using/needing your generators?
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
