Mike Van Pelt emailed a few more photos of the Patagonia:
The galley, with pass-through to the truck cab visible in the background
The view in the other direction, showing the raised bed and storage
The view out the "Natura" window is spectacular!
The Patagonia has a very large storage area under the bed area, big enough to carry an ATV, or a couple of small motorcycles, or lots of additional gear.
Everyone who sees the GXV vehicles remarks about the high quality of the camper construction, and the consideration given to the details. Sometimes you pay more, and you get more, too.
