I can't believe how many people it can sleep! It has everything to go almost anywhere, really opens up possibilities for those who can afford the vehicle & fuel. Thanks for sharing this. 👍

The bunk bed is something I have been wanting to see in other RVs.

Love that design of the bed over the dinette. Very flexible and frees up a lot of floor space. In theory the bed area at the back could be utilised for something else.

I saw something like that here in the Verde Valley a few weeks ago! It was huge, but if you want to go down into Mexico, the Baja or really remote places, it has the strength and height to do it, plus all the amenities. Too rich for me, but cool to see!

[@VandelayIndustriesLLC]

Beefy rig! Thanks for showing us.

[@Kee_Diddy]

Absolute dream rig! I've been daydreaming about one of these for the last month. I lived in an Airstream with a 30 gallon water tank for a year, and the 135 gallon water tank in the Patagonia would be a game changer. That was my least favorite thing-- having to drive into town from a BLM site just to fill up on water and propane. Thinking about how deep back into the boonies you could go with this thing is an exciting thought. One day :)

[@deborah4579]

Nice review of a gorgeous rig. It’s so well laid out and designed. Can’t even imagine what it must be like to camp out out in one of these. When I win th3 lottery it’ll be on my list! 🤣

Or just buy a military truck and hire people to convert it and you can get something nicer than this for under 200k pretty easily. Id love to see research on the people who are buying these things. Are they actually selling them or is something else going on with this industry because I keep seeing criminally overpriced vehicles in this category.

[@timbuckingham8845]

I noticed GXV no longer has the Safari Extreme listed on their website so it looks like they are making this the new flagship model. I like the option for more sleeping with the bunk but the chassis is a single cab so are there additional seat belts at the dining area? If not I see that has a miss for families with more than two people.

[@Weretherussos]

These are all custom and I’m sure if there were requirements to seat more they could accommodate

[@RiyazGuerra]

Looks great but the freezer/fridge is a bit too small. Hopefully there are options to get larger versions.

[@Weretherussos]

They're completely custom so you can chose other options.

[@shekharmoona544]

I wish Taxa would create something like this in the Mitsubishi or Isuzu CoE chassis that's available here in the US. Maybe they can bring down the cost of other manufacturers.

I really like it... a lot! But... and it's a small but... but it drives me frickin crazy when manufactures install the shade and bug screens upside down. The shade should come up from the bottom and the screen should come down from the top. Rant over. Lol

[@Weretherussos]

With the shade coming down from the top, you can adjust the shade to cover the sun as it's coming up / going down and still get some sunlight coming through - hence why they are designed like that.

[@renaissancepoet]

@@Weretherussos But if you like walking around inside your rig partially dressed, then the shade on the bottom helps keep prying eyes looking up and in while I can look down and out by adjusting the bottom shade for the level of privacy I want. You can't do that as well with the shade on top.

[@largemarge1603]

@@renaissancepoet 2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle with 3010 (three feet wide by a foot tall) dual-pane sliders designed for a stand-still house. We mounted these at our eye-level standing inside, about eight feet above pavement.

I like the shade on the bottom too. It was on the top in the video.

[@jackgharen]

Enough storage to go out for a lightyear off road.

[@shekharmoona544]

If this had a Watergen system it would be perfect. You can stay longer off-grid with a Watergen system. Which is only offered "Living Vehicle."

[@Eliukcory]

Don’t know what your talking about? Do you mean a filter system to squire water from streams and lakes directly??

[@daniellerae1716]

There are water trucks smaller this that can carry 40,000 gallons of water across country. Put 1500 gallons in this plus a UV for stream water for laundry. People want a hot shower everyday for at least 2-3 weeks. No one wants to go into town constant for water spending a thousand for gas. No one needs a black tank. A small grey is sufficient.

[@Weretherussos]

A water truck holds 2-4k gallons. A fuel tanker truck holds up to 12k gallons. You’d have no room to carry 1500 gallons of water in a camper.

[@shekharmoona544]

I wish a manufacturer would create silicone adult size plates. If toddlers can have them why not the motorhome community. They don't break, they are microwaveable, don't leach chemicals etc.

[@SaintNomad]

Do you guys know why it's so expensive? Because GXV is the only class 6 & above 'CUSTOM' builder in the US. When demand is low, the price naturally goes up. That's the fact. However, compared to European cabins, the quality of the interior is a bit inferior. I'd rather ship my chassis to Europe, build there, and bring it back.

[@DempsterDave]

I don't understand why expedition vehicles have cassette toilets. Is the idea to go on weekend trips? Our expeditions last at least two to three weeks off the grid before we return for supplies and start again.

[@Weretherussos]

Because outside of the U.S., most other places don’t have places to dump a black tank.

[@DempsterDave]

@@Weretherussos And, you dump your cassette on the ground.

[@Weretherussos]

No, the cassette gets dumped in a toilet or similar (in Europe they have specific cassette dump stations). If you’re that far off grid that you never see a place to dump then just go outside.

[@daniellerae1716]

The wanderbox has 200-300 gallons of water this is way bigger should have at least 1000-1500 or what really is the purpose

[@Weretherussos]

[@justasheep4427]

What would you say is the minimum width for the central corridor? Like 15-16"? I don't like "wasted" space either, but I don't know at what point you just can't walk comfortably. Also, would you prioritize having two bathrooms (or beds far apart) so that everyone could go to the bathroom at night without disturbing others?

[@vega1142]

Tout ça, mais une petite toilette à cassette pas beaucoup de réserve n’est ce pas.

[@Weretherussos]

Yes however in most places in the world, you’ll need to carry the cassette to a toilet so if it’s larger it will be too heavy.

[@yvesdugas6241]

Merci de votre réponse. Ce que je voulais dire c’est qu’une cassette vous n’avez pas beaucoup d’autonomie par rapport à une réserve d’eau noire. Ce camion est équipé pour plusieurs jours en autonomie sauf que la cassette ne balance pas avec le tout. 😊

[@daniellerae1716]

I can get a smaller overlands 100-200 gallons of water. There’s no point to this unless I’m getting 1500 gallons of water. The #1 reason most people do t get these is WATER, Parking & money for food.

[@Weretherussos]

So you want to carry around over 13k pounds of water and spend the fuel it takes to move that around?? Don’t forget these vehicles have a limit on carrying capacity. You’re going to have to sacrifice a lot of things to have that ability for your vehicle to carry that amount of water.

Ya I am really struglling to understand this market of insanely priced vehicles. I saw much smalle butt ugly montrosities for 1 million dollars. Meanwhile I saw a dude easily convert a used military truck to something way nicer than any of these for under 100k all in. I suspect there is something fishy going on in this industry. Even new, the vehicle itself cant be worth more than 150k and the upgrade materials are about 50-60k max. I think that they sell so few of them that they probably have to spend so much money on marketing and sales that it quadruples the price of what these things should be. There is no way they are worth more than a house. Even if you could afford these things you would have to be really bad with money to pay this.
