    New Photos of the Earthroamer XV-HD ahead of SEMA

    Many (if not most) creditors were made whole and we have excellent business relationships with many of those same vendors today. The SBA was paid in full when we sold the factory and not one penny of taxpayer money was used to bail us out...

    Another Internet Myth that just won't die... This is another internet myth that never seems to die. The Ford truck cab DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REMOVED TO PERFORM MAJOR REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE. On 2003 and newer Super Duty trucks, Ford made the cab easy to remove to make the engine more accessible...

    EarthRoamer is Hiring

    I don’t want to sound flippant, but I think the only place in today’s economy that you will find a “permanent” position is working for the Government!

    EarthRoamer XV-LTS (S for Stretch)

    EarthRoamer XV-LTS Actual Weight Camperman, that is a very intelligent question and one that every RV or XV purchaser should ask. Too many manufacturers refuse to publish actual finished vehicle weights and seem to have a total disregard for gross vehicle weight ratings and safe vehicle...

    As of today, still no ER wheel bearing failures. I just spoke with the owner of this 2004 F-450 based EarthRoamer XV-LT (the 6th EarthRoamer ever built) and he had it in the shop to replace loose ball joints and tie rod ends, as well as get an alignment. After 7 years of hard use, he had some...
