Earthroamer poor customer service

[Clutch]

I just wish we could get a LHD vehicle built here!

You can get RHD conversions, why couldn't you do LHD conversions? Australian legal reasons?

Liz,
Being from Australia, I wonder if you could comment on your thoughts of the EarthCruiser or ATW. Either in this post or a new post. I am curious why you are considering a US company. Is it the Ford platform you prefer? I am excited to see that EarthCruiser is now in the US giving us more choices.
Thanks.

I would think a Mercedes based chassis would be a better platform for World travel than a Ford F-Series.

These are precisely the reasons we switched from Earthroamer to GXV - Mercedes chassis (Unimog U500) , Vario-pilot - both LHD and RHD - just slide the wheel and pedals across the cab

I have not seen an ATW up close but the Earthcruiser is IMHO definitely a "live beside" vehicle not a "live inside". Also personally I would not want the fabric pop-top.

In those far out regions, washboard roads are the norm. They will beat the hell out of any vehicle over time. Every small problem in the book from a loose dashboard to leaking seals will eventually occur. There is no vehicle on earth that will not break down eventually in those conditions. So what ever vehicle you pick, make darn sure you have available parts around the world to fix it.

F.Y.I. There is a nice Unimod Global EXP in San Diego for sale $189,000.00 see the current RV trader.
