Our GXV Build

Spotted the International as shown on the first page in Springfield, Mo. at the Holiday Inn Express at James River and US 65. It was awsome! All dark green and blacked out except for the AC unit on the roof and the fuel tanks.

Now, I'm finding or hearing, that these are made in Nixa, Mo. is that right? Mike Van Pelt? Geez, that would be like 15 miles away from my house! I'll have to research this and if so, I'll go for the tour! :Wow1:

EDITED:

WELL GEEEEZ! I just went to the home site and they have been under my nose all this time! Man, do I feel dumb now! Can I just erase this post? I never thought anything that cool would be comming out of my backyard! Oh well! I'll be watching for deals now....no wonder Ihave seen these on the highways and around Branson! Later...

Ozarker, don't feel bad. I've been a fan of GXV for years and have followed their progress closely. I'm right up in St Louis, down in the Ozarks all the time for recreation, and still haven't made it over there for a visit. Its definitely cool that they're here at home, it seems like most of the really cool stuff usually comes from elsewhere (Prescott, anyone?). Makes me MO proud!

Yes, it is true, we are rolling in our new rig. We are stoked!!!
More to come, including pix of our rig. Stand by as we are on the road & heading west. Colorado is our first destination.

Nice! The location of the window awning halfway up the side of the truck really gives a good sense of the scale of this thing.

It looks like you opted to pass on the "Natura Opening Wall" option. I always thought that looked a little goofy, but I'm curious what your reasoning was to skip it?

Indoor pics?
