    Switching from Ford E-Series to FC/cabover (like Sportsmobile to Earthcruiser 4x4)?

    FWIW my ~28' Earthroamer has a tighter turning radius than my E350 RB Sportsmobile did. No joke.

    MPT-81 tire siping

    Also following and interested in this whole process and how it improves snow/ice performance on MPT81's. Of course this is all pretty subjective and based on many factors such as where you live, how much snow/ice you drive on, weight of rig, driving ability, etc.

    Earthroamer - Living full time questions

    Yes, but you have that same risk with any rig. Situations and circumstances will vary, but for me, ideally I'm not finding or approaching the limits of the rig. Especially if there's no support with a ~16k lbs rig in a remote location. I'm sure I'm the gating factor but I kind of like it that...

    Earthroamer - Living full time questions

    "capable off-road", "off-roading", <insert next vague, 100% subjective term here>...my recommendation is to get as specific as you can about about where you intend to take it and what you want to do. Will an ER do the Rubicon? No. As others have said the limits are mostly around length...

    Earthroamer - Living full time questions

    No, I think mine is ~$1100/yr with my coverages. But I'm not full-timing and your premium cost will directly correlate with your stated value and coverages (obviously).

    Earthroamer - Living full time questions

    I am not full-timing and only have a year of experience with the ER, so might not be a helpful for your situation, but can provide another data point. I have camped in Jackson Hole in temps as low as zero with zero issues. Full of water, 2 humans and a dog. Thermostat was set to 72 and we...

    FEELER: '98 Sportsmobile 4x4 E350 V10 RB-50

    **SOLD** Considering a sale of my rig, thinking about doing a different direction, haven't made up my mind, but motivated enough to spend the time posting this ad, and testing interest Backstory: This rig has been rock solid, has never left me stranded, and has many more miles left in her...

    Pretty amazing the amount of pontification, assumptions, false correlations and general BS that gets thrown around here!

    Earthroamer For Sale

    OK... at the risk of speaking for Chris, I will add some information which will hopefully limit some of the banter going on here. I PM'd Chris about a month ago when this was first posted, as I had looked hard at #94 from ER (but passed) and was seriously entertaining another used...

    Thanks, I did recently check those out and the XT looks very interesting however... a bit out of my price range being brand new. Personally, there are a few things I would modify if spending that much on a rig. I would prefer more windows and a slightly warmer interior than stark white. Just...
