People often ask us how our Expedition Vehicles differ from a standard RV construction and other XV builders. Here are a few specs that detail some of the additional features that differentiate our Expedition Vehicle construction:
quality
BODY CONSTRUCTION:
Lighter, Stronger, More Versatile & Better Insulated than Molded Body Construction
GXV chooses to use SCS (Structural Composite Sandwich) panels to build Expedition Bodies. This method allows for maximum diversity of cabin size choices and provides the option to adjust strength requirements through additional plys or wall thickness. The SCS panel also has superior insulating performance as compared to molded bodies. Typical panels are a solid core 3 ply panel that is ultra high strength, low weight, and self supporting.

The interior structural core is highly insulating with outer plys made of a Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester. The plys are vacuum bonded with a 1,344 pound per square inch industrial adhesive. Total wall thickness typically is 2.36’’ (60mm) with no thermal conduction paths.
SCS body panel systems will handle weather extremes where molded bodies fall short. SCS panels hold up to the mechanical stresses and dynamic forces, such as flexing, wind, & extreme hot or cold encountered in Overland Travel. |
|
MOUNTING SYSTEM: Our Kinetic Mounting Systems allow for full-compliance articulation while isolating the stress from the frame rails into the body.
|
|
|
POWER: The Electrical System is the “heart” of the Expedition Vehicle. We have chosen to use Mastervolt, the leader in mobile electrical systems, and offer an upgrade to Lithium-ion Batteries in all of our models. Solar Panels provide power for our energy-efficient components, but when additional power is needed, i.e. sustained Air Conditioner use, our diesel generator will quickly top-off the battery bank.

WINDOWS:

CASSETTE TOILETS: Combine the built-in comfort of a permanent toilet with the convenience of a portable toilet with a holding tank. Swivel or bench styles. Connects to freshwater supply with waste tank level indicator. The holding tank (cassette) has wheels and a retractable handle to aid in emptying.

GXV Benefits: Ready to escape the asphalt jungle? That's our specialty! No need to hook up to power; charge the electrical system through solar panels or the truck's alternator. When the blazing summer heat requires constant air conditioning and supplemental power is needed, use the diesel generator to top off Mastervolt lithium batteries.
With our wide variety of models, we can provide an Expedition Vehicle sized for a single traveler that is so easy to drive, it may become your "daily driver;" or size for a family + pets that requires more spacious accommodations.
