Ha, yes there was a bit of pucker going on there. First time I had driven it with snow and ice. The Earthcruiser was able to negotiate the hairpin switchbacks without a 3 point turn thankfully. Tighter than my Defender 110.Alright, that was impressive. I once descended the Shafer Trail when it was wet -but not snow covered - and I was terrified. Made the kids get out and walk.
Thanks for the question. I am currently driving back from Oregon now towards Boulder with a stop off in Boise to show the Earthcruiser. Should be back this coming weekend and would be happy to show you around the truck and take it out for a drive. Just had it thoroughly checked out by Fuso and Earthcruiser and it is ready for new adventures. There are heat mats under the exterior 20 gallon water tank and the interior 40 gallon tank is heated by interior space air. There is also a heat mat under the grey water tank. I have been in below freezing temps regularly and have not had an issue with water. The Webasto dual top is both an air heater for the cabin as well as hot water and it does a great job keeping the interior warm. I guarentee if turned up it would make the living quarters too warm for comfort even if it was 0°F outside.I am in Boulder and would be interested in coming to see the EC if that is possible. We do a lot of winter camping, so the main concern I have is with the winter and heat. Is there any protection inside of the camper pop-top for when it is winter?
Running the snow and ice covered Shafer trail in December 2018. This trail is an old cattle and uranium mining road that runs out of the Island in the Sky area of Canyonlands National Park.
This turbo diesel EarthCruiser is still for sale.
Yes I was in Fruita for 3 days during the Palasade Peach Festival. On my way back from Bend, Oregon. I will be back on the western slope in about a week. If you would like to see it PM me and we can exchange phone numbers.Is this still for sale? was it in Fruita this weekend? are you still on the western slope?
