New ER’s are equipped with goodyear g275 365/80r20 which should offer a better safety margin given the wide range of loads carried and varying owner experience and approaches to tire maintenance.

The tires are 335/80r20...365 wouldnt fit. Was the kelderman, king shocks and wheel/tire setup installed by Earthroamer or another company?

This is quite an interesting vehicle: congrats on a very cool creation. I am looking at your pictures and wondering what are the tie-down straps holding below the TV in 7.jpg? How is the noise level at highway speeds?

One would guess that the ultimate height of a hardtop EC would depend on user vs design requirements. I didn’t do a scaled sidexside comparison of images but had an Earthroamer XV-LTi in mind: the EC concept truck appears to be about a foot shorter though perhaps it is more. The images on the...

This is an intriguing concept. Is there a reason it is limited to a soft-sided pop-top? I can see the capabilities offered in the pop-top but there are likely a good number of folks, especially as the vehicles go up in price, who would prefer a hard top. I didn't see any specifications on the...

+1 on charlieaarons’ comments. I don’t know if you are committed/restricted to a beadlock 335/80/20 on your 550 chassis (camper?) but another, easily sourced and maintained, option that Ive been using successfully is a 315/80R22.5. I have a custom leaf and coil suspension (Pohl Springworks in...

I might be missing something but has anyone seen the fuel tank capacity?

Snow and ice in the forecast? 4WD/AWD is a good thing indeed but having the right winter tires for your rig is crucial. Though I dare say chains can do a lot, more in some cases, in a 2WD format than an AWD/4WD without them, especially in a very heavy rig. Lightweight chains are really amazing...

IMO, they're both decent with various pros/cons that have been discussed at length elsewhere. I realize everyone has different priorities but I would look for diesel, quad cab (or seatbelt-equipped seats in the camper) and a proven truck/chassis/camper configuration that has been run through the...

How many miles/any rust?

If this is as well built as an Earthroamer, it could well be worth something close to the ask. Are the camper body panels, windows and any other essential components made in China? Is there a reliable Canadian or US warranty on them? Also, the specs for front and rear axle weights would be helpful

Good points though I don't think I would want the complexity and multiple failure points I've seen in every in-floor hydronic system, in any offroad or even on-road camper: too much movement and rapid (compared to a house) temperature fluctuations. I've seen these systems fail in multiple homes...

One would hope that Continental USA could find at least one person who would know what, if any, changes have been made to this tire. Load index (6779lbs) and 68mph speed rating don't appear to have changed. They may have changed the rubber composition somewhat for better winter traction on...

I was also thinking it is a tough time to sell but more because the dealers are bending over backwards to get rid of new vehicles. Despite this, it is a great looking rig and i’d expect it to get snapped up quickly by a buyer looking for a Jeep with camping features built-in.

This appears to be superfluous, poorly wrought and transitory.

Thanks, It will be great to see some updated MPG and max range data with this new engine. Also, do you know if the axles require an extension or spacers (as near as I can tell the Dynatrac 80’s are primarily used for jeeps/narrower vehicles than a Fuso)?

Right, I’m doing a similar routine w/2 electric pads that kick in underneath grey and fresh tanks when temp is below ~42F. Amp draw is about 6 amps. Two espar airtronics push warm air into the cabin and into the subfloor under the shower where a good deal of the plumbing is, and finally there is...

I realize there is no good alternative at this point (except heading to warmer climes) but there is some amount of irony in needing diesel heat to keep batteries warm.

+1 I’ve done the Dalton a few times and the difference between the new mostly paved road and the old nightmare is striking. It is rather remote and not the sort of place you want to have a breakdown or run out of gas (400miles north of Fairbanks) though there’s plenty of dead horse commercial...

Thanks, I will look for axle pics. The EXP looks pretty fantastic but my main concerns with the 2020 gas Earthcruiser are mileage (range) and the suspension-wheel-tire setup. Based on available info, I’d expect to see a max range of 300-500 miles between fill-ups (leaving 10gallons in the 60...
