    Fuso 3.0 , Duonic transmission, SCR ?

    Fuso did recall and fix their issues. As for the lack of low range, Fuso redid the gearing on these trucks and once you get the hang of driving them they are more than competent with what most people do. If they've been properly maintained then you're good. As well, these trucks do best when...

    StoryTeller Overland GXV Hilt

    A bit late to this party but EarthCruiser makes our Terranova (TN) on a Ford F350 or the Dodge Ram 3500. It uses much of the same technology as our bigger EXP/FX models built on the Isuzu chassis. TN's start at $350,000 which is very reasonably priced and they are truly 4 season vehicles...

    EarthCruiser Terranova

    The Terranova reveal is the end of next week so stay tuned for further details. As for the 'curtain' we use, the material we use is 3 layer with air gap rated to -22F. Our EarthCruiser EXPs are used all over the world and we have several customers in Mongolia. Many of our customers are avid...

    Pass-through really necessary?

    And it is nice when there are 'no men with guns' and you still feel weird to be able to get up an leave when it suits. I've spent many days never leaving the vehicle if I didn't have to because I didn't have to. But then again its a matter of what you need to do and what you want to do.

    Pass-through really necessary?

    Huh? Why would you listen to your crap rattling around if you'd built the thing right?

    Camper Builder Comparison (UNICAT vs. GXV etc.,)

    Glad to hear that you've sorted out your disparate views and sorry to hear that you won't be able to pursue your own personal dream. Please note that comforts and amenities are very different which is probably where many people's disconnects come in. An EarthCruiser provides all the important...

    Camper Builder Comparison (UNICAT vs. GXV etc.,)

    Water can be a limiting factor, but no one needs to shower for that long everyday. We have 75 gallons fresh on an EarthCruiser. That can last us over two weeks with limited conservation practices. Then if necessary, we put our hose in a stream and refill. This will be a very unpopular...

    Tire Chains

    We've been testing snow socks and the crew think they're pretty good as well as easy to install and light. We don't have a final verdict yet but so far so good.

    Camper Builder Comparison (UNICAT vs. GXV etc.,)

    To my mind its always a good idea to go see each manufacturer, 'see, touch and feel' what they build and see if you like them as people and a company. Decide what your needs really are and refine from there. I've spent significant time in Siberia, the 'Stan's and Caucuses as well as Africa...

    Crew cab USA question

    As we keep the original warranty we don't make engine changes and as you've noted Fuso is/has replaced this oil pump moving forward. EarthCruiser modifications are solely to create our proprietary 4wd system. We will also be launching the Isuzu/Chevy V8 soon as well.

    EC Bathroom Layout Question

    Not really as the cassette 'seat housing' is inside and the cassette underneath (both are separate and you can't remove together). The composting is probably easier to remove than the cassette but in the end it defeats the purpose of having an indoor toilet. For real privacy concerns the other...

    EC Bathroom Layout Question

    When we introduced a the bathroom as the "mudroom" we heard alot of questions about privacy. Overtime that has stopped being a concern as we have made the door more solid, the walls a bit higher and people have gotten used to the idea (and love the space savings). We have also redesigned the...

    EarthCruiser/Fuso Driving Experience from a Sportsmobile Perspective

    And the point would be??? If your main concern in your overlanding experience is how fast you can go on the highway then maybe a Ferrari is more appropriate. If its a rental then it goes EVERYWHERE.

    EarthCruiser/Fuso Driving Experience from a Sportsmobile Perspective

    I always hesitate to enter these conversations because the assumption is that I am biased....which I am, however, I think it's pretty unfair to compare a diesel Fuso with a V8 gas Fuso and make assumptions that are probably not true and are based on experiences that are how many years old now...

    They are low flow shower heads. Sufficient pressure for showering but not like at home.
