    2020 EarthCruiser?

    That's a serious gamechanger. Lance, does the dual cab afford the driver more leg room -aka rearward travel of the driver's seat?

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    I've had a lot of luck with the magnet holsters. I use one in my pickup and I have never, even in the most bumpy conditions, come off. Really nice.

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    We were fairly limited in that due to my height restrictions, the bath on ours had to be situated directly over the grey tank near the rear axle We are also only a couple with no kids or needs for additional sleeping room, however we REALLY enjoy having the full dinette in the front with...

    Overlander, new “affordable” Earthroamer type rig

    I don’t have experience with ER to compare, but I do have SMB to compare and our panel constructed GXV has truly amazing insulation that surprises me every time out. And we have the less-efficient windows - a LOT of them! The insulation is something that has truly exceeded our expectations.

    Overlander, new “affordable” Earthroamer type rig

    Well, then neither are the people who buy a used camper off craigslist per your earlier suggestion. And there's always someone in deeper than you are bub.....whether you want to admit it or not.

    Overlander, new “affordable” Earthroamer type rig

    Just offering up the possibility that the reason you aren't running into those people because they are out exploring more remote areas than you are and not camping near the paved roads you spoke of.

    Overlander, new “affordable” Earthroamer type rig

    I would argue that the average joe cannot explore North America in a used RV they bought on Craigslist. They might be able to drive around North America staying in RV campsites but for many that doesn't equate to "exploring". The same way you wouldn't take a boat suitable for cruising the...

    Extreme use Earthroamer

    Good deal, thanks Able guy. Which angle shall we take on this go around? Will it be the "My truck is bigger and more expensive therefore its clearly superior...." angle or will go with the time-tested approach of "Even if I had the money, those things are far too big to do any REAL...

    2020 EarthCruiser?

    In 5 years I will have taken countless trips, made a million memories and travelled numerous backcountry roads.......and you will still be waiting for an electric expo truck. Juss sayin' :)

    New Carbon Fiber EarthRoamer

    2k pounds is a nontrivial weight loss. Seems you could find that weight in other areas, and without the resultant cost increase, more easily though. Assuming DZL calcs are correct, and the 2k weight loss isn't exaggerated (unlikely) then that means the fiberglass shell weighs a little under...

    New Carbon Fiber EarthRoamer

    Good stuff DZL. How do those weight sf numbers compare to the "normal" weight of a fiberglass panel of similar size?

    New Carbon Fiber EarthRoamer

    Is that all? I'm certainly NOT an expert on such things, but that seems low. Anyone know the real numbers? A thousand pounds woudl certainly NOT be a game changer and I would stand corrected. I know that the difference between rowing a normal molded fiberglass drift boat vs a CF drift boat...
