Regardless of whether or not this thread is closed, I do think it should be moved to another forum. This camper no longer has anything to do with earthroamer. The last remnants of the earthroamer are gone now. This forum doesn't get much exposure. It would be much better off in the "Pop-Up" forum or Other Custom forum.
EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"
- Thread starter WhereTheHellIsJames?
- Start date
Yes, but it will still be a "Small volume bespoke expedition camper," will it not?
Small volume bespoke expedition camper manufacturers
Is Paul going to become a camper manufacturer and produce a small volume of these?

I just skimmed this thread what a sad deal. I really liked that tiger pattern wood and build. I sort of recal maybe reading about how a mold could be taken. I recal posting that Earth Roamer probably held design royalties on the shell. Given we called that design theft in the sailing world "splashing a hull" chinese were great at it for many yrs but the sailing community knew the splashed hulls and they never were able to sell them easily.
Man so bummed that interior is gone. Sad story.

Without venturing an opinion on the thread location, my feeling is that the truck is still an EarthRoamer simply because the most distinguishing feature of the truck is and always has been the size and shape of the ER cabin and the way the cabin integrates with the Jeep. That characteristic piece will still remain. For all the multiple revisions we've done, and regardless of the interior, systems and add-ons, someone who's not an expert would look at an unmodded XV-JP and pronounce it as having the same manufacturer as our truck.
Now if Paul adds a second story, or a vertical stabilizer, or a picture window, or . . .
Yes. Is he not "manufacturing"? Is "one" not the smallest of volumes? :********:
But seriously, would you like to put money on whether the thread stays here or not?...

Never a question in my mind... I agree with Mike, it will stay here... If you find that a bother, there are thousands of other topics here on the forum to check out...

Just watch out, we have already had two builds on the Portal that they added a car or an airplane on top. Paul might just try and out do them:yikes:
Great reasoning for keeping the same thread going. I for one am excited to see another of Paul's builds. I am truly amazed at his workmanship and with him starting with a 'clean slate' (surly Red Cannon's 'work' was the same as 'scorched earth') and your support / insight, it will be one of the 7 wonders of the expo world.

I agree with Paul and others; keep the thread going here, for numerous reasons. Main one being it's like life; highs and lows, wins and tragedies(*cough cough* Red Cannon Expedition). It's going to be a special day when Paul unveils it. We can all throw rice and petals, smash plates, all the jazz. :smiley_drive:
