Earth Roamers

Perfect idea for the Super Duty crowd that likes adventure. Go where most other vehicles cant... With a camper

meh, i dont think thats even light duty 4wheelin round these parts..

the only section in that entire film were 4WD would even be needed was the deep sand.

otherwise pretty much anything could travel those roads..

sorry no sale. i'd rather have seen em actualy wheelin to rugged/remote areas with that camper, that would make a better promo video. the one shown almost looks like a poser video.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think that would be a blast myself. I am sure those can go through a lot more than your average camper/RV - powered or trailer.

Yea, I thought the "tent" on the jeep was pretty funny myself. I thought it was a knock-off of the VW camper until the flap kept on going around.

Well I just learned myself... That's the name of the company. EarthRoamer Home Page

I thought that was the style of vehicle. Oh well, live and learn. Either way its a slick concept...except for the $200K or so to get one. I think Ill keep my cap on the truck with my wood sleeping platform instead...

Interesting. Several years ago, Four Wheeler magazine used to follow Gary and Monika Wescott and their Turtle Expedition. They have traveled all over the world for the past few decades and have done so in some pretty heavily modified F-350s and now an F-550. Pretty neat reading about it even though they're not using EarthRoamers. The basic concept is the same and they have some super neat equipment.

One of the more interesting ways they build the bigger one is with a pivot joint for a relatively rigid fibrerglass shell.

I like them. I think they would be a blast to have. Expensive I am sure, but none the less looks like fun.

Yep. From their website:

All EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicles are sold directly from the factory and are made to order. Typical prices for completed 2011 model year EarthRoamer XV-LTs range from around $225,000 to over $300,000 depending on options chosen and custom work.
Yikes!
