I like the simplicity and rugged builds of the pop-up box on a flatbed truck like the Nimble, Overland Explorer HBE and the description of the upcoming EarthCruiser Terranova. Having a domestic gasser truck that can be fixed most anywhere in the US is a big plus. The add-ons like treated wash water for reuse could be something that I could get use to using. The electrical systems on these are always good but so has the AdvanceRV. If AdvancedRV did go expedition mode, it would be great to start having such an option further east.

EarthCruiser is doing a shower water recycling system for the EXP and FX, not sure if they will offer it on the other models or not.

At the moment, if we were going to downsize our expedition vehicle, I would probably go with the EarthCruiser FX on the Chevy (Isuzu) dual cab forward gasoline chassis that they are switching to next year now that Fuso is getting out of the NA market. Probably a year or more away when we decide to switch from full time RVing to part time...

Earthcruisers main manufacturing operation is in Australia, it supplies parts to the Oregon facility
There are NO Gas engined Fuso's outside NA.
Fuso has a similar range to Freightliner outside NA
Isuzu sinilarly has no Gas engined vehicles and like Fuso a range like Freightliner or Mack in the US. Japanese Diesels go to 485hp to 530hp in Isuzus case with their 15litre
