The Earthroamer XV-LT(motorhome) and the XV-JP (Jeep) are both at the annual Pomona RV show as is the Unicat Amerigo 205 Expedition Vehicle. It was a treat to finally see these 3 vehicles up close.
I drooled over the beauty, design, and construction of the Earthroamer XV-LT and would be my personal choice between the 3 vehicles. I could live a long time in this rig. It was priced at $245K...they have a video running of Scott Brady testifying to the capabilities, and comforts of the vehicle!
The XV-JP, priced at $114K...again, amazing design and execution...it was smaller inside than I expected and the "living space" for two would be a little cramped. IMO, not a vehicle of choice for two people on an extended expedition but great for short trips. This vehicle is a fantastic addition to the American market b/c there's nothing like it available and I hope they do well with it. However, I'm still of the opinion that you could have all the capabilities and amenities of this vehicle in a Tacoma with a Flippac and you build in all the other stuff...plus you'd have a little more "living space" and more storage space...for significantly less money.
The Unicat Expedition Vehicle is just a mammoth machine and the cabin is nicely designed and very livable. $600,000.!!!!! Yeah, $600K...if money is no consideration, why not?...but I found myself thinking that you're paying so much for the terrain capability of this vehicle, I think I'd be satisfied with the Earthroamer and where it can go and saving $350K...I could travel a long time on $350K!!!!
The Pomona RV show runs Oct 12-21 from 10am-6pm at the Pomona Fairplex in Pomona CA. This is the big annual show and if you're at all interested in RV's, every brand and style is there...just seeing these three vehicles was worth it for me.
