Four-Wheel Drive RV by EarthRoamer
Like to RV, but want to go offroading? EarthRoamer has two models that will help you. The EarthRoamer Xpedition vehicles are designed to travel to those remote locations that are only accessible by four-wheel drive. Even better, these vehicles provide a comfortable camping experience totally off the gird.
XV-JP
Jeep Rubicon Unlimited based EarthRoamer XV-JP is designed to carry two adults.
The XV-JP’s Loftop™ provides nearly 9 feet of interior height and a queen-size bed when deployed. From the loft, you can drop down another tent for additional living space. The XV-JP comes equipped with 25 gallons of fresh water capacity, an inside cassette toilet, inside shower, sink and cooking facilities. An electric fan provides ventilation and the forced air furnace is perfect for cold nights. No A/C.
XV-LT
Based on the Ford Super Duty F-550 four-wheel drive cab chassis, there is brawn to accompany the beauty. With a 17,950 pound gross vehicle weight rating and 10,000 pound towing capability.
The EarthRoamer XV-LT is designed for two adults and two children camping for extended periods. Equipped with up to 90 gallons of diesel fuel and 85 gallons of fresh water, you can travel as far as you like in comfort, complete with granite countertops, convection microwave, air-conditioning, king-size bed and an enclosed shower/bathroom.
From the website:
Preserving the environment for generations to come is very important to us so we design renewable energy sources like solar and biodiesel into our systems whenever possible. All of our vehicles utilize solar energy as a primary power source for lights and appliances.
