    Earthroamer - Living full time questions

    I believe this family lives (used to?) full time in an EC. For people commenting about price and maintenance, a lot of Europeans do that in rigs worth a lot more. But I agree that for someone based in the USA who still work full time something like an ER is probably overkill for 95% of the time...

    2014 Airstream FlyingCloud 19' and F150 4x4

    Selling our airstream plus truck combo! The trailer is a 2014 Airstream flying cloud 19'. We use it as our base camp when exploring around and is the perfect size to fit everywhere. A 3rd party lift kit (now apparently available through Airstream) can be bought to give it 3" more of ground...

    New Here. Searching for the perfect camper van, looking for guidance

    the Travato GL still needs propane to run the heater so you would have 2 systems to maintain (batteries and propane) but no generator. The FitRV folks have a video on youtube where they test the A/C on batteries alone and were able to get more than 8h of running time at day while it was in the...

    Your insights on a few different options for first vehicle

    We have similar criteria and I still haven't found a good match. The Tiger would be nice if the cab over was slightly larger (I've heard it's cramped for 2) and you could fit a small dinette. This way the couch becomes a garage area. FraserWay in Canada has a fleet of custom 4x4 class C rentals...

    Looking for a rig that sleeps four comfortably

    Anyone heard of Acela Trucks before?

    Have you checked out base4x4? Base price for 4x4 chassis is $95k, the interior options will drive the price up a bit but it's a keep it simple concept. THey have not updated the website in a while though so I don't know if they're actually selling the thing.

    Ford Superduty Tremor "off road" 2020 F250/F350.

    as someone who does not know anything about suspension and such, would the tremor be a better starting point for say an xpcamper than a regular 350?

    expedition vehicle - design challenge!

    I like the design, however the sprinter/promaster is somewhat narrow. A custom body would give a few inches more which make a difference in such a small area.

    expedition vehicle - design challenge!

    Budget is not set yet, so let's assume it's unlimited. For the bikes being awkward, they don't have to be in the standard up position, you could hang them by the fork on each side or remove both wheels and stash them under a cabinet, there's no restriction. I like the exploryx models, a tad...

    expedition vehicle - design challenge!

    Hi everyone, I've been toying for a while about building a vehicle that would be more rugged than a Class C or Class B motorhome. The design specs are very strict for various reasons and here they are: - maximum overall dimensions when driving: 21' long x 8' wide x 10' high (think vehicle...

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    Not a fan of american cars/trucks and yet I own a F150. Only reason I went with this instead of a chevy or dodge is the flat floor in the back and fold up seats that give extra cargo area. If the 1 ton trucks are the same, I would not consider anything else than the ford for the same reasons.

    2016 Earthcruiser FX #22 - For Sale - SOLD!

    very nice! we stopped by EC a few weeks ago and were impressed by the vehicle. My wife is not convinced yet we "need" one but time will come I guess. From another post , the vehicle shown in the build is 286" (~23' 10"). The box is 10' so you're right.
