"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Introducing the new 2012 EarthRoamer XV-LTS!
|
 |
EarthRoamer is pleased to announce the EarthRoamer XV-LTS, our newest addition to the EarthRoamer family. The EarthRoamer XV-LTS is a "stretch" version of our F-550 based EarthRoamer XV-LT - the world's best selling self-contained luxury expedition vehicle. For adventurers that require more space or who are traveling with up to 5 or 6 people, the EarthRoamer XV-LTS was built for you.
The EarthRoamer XV-LTS is built on the 2012 6.7 liter Power Stroke Turbo Diesel (660 lb-ft torque and 300 hp) powered Ford F-550 chassis with an 84 inch cab to axle and GVWR of 19,500 pounds. This chassis is 24 inches longer than our XV-LT model which increases primary camper living space by a whopping 25% and interior storage space by up to 45%. The extra length enables us to offer
XV-LTS Interior Layout Options
including booth seating and sleeping for 6, or a dry bath with a separate toilet and shower. Battery capacity can be increased up to 18.3 kilowatt hours and solar capacity can be increased up to 880 watts. If you need more power we have an innovative 6KW PTO generator option. Fresh water capacity up to 135 gallons is available, and 13 gallons of 100 degree hot water is standard.
The EarthRoamer XV-LTS body features a seamless, one piece molded monocoque design that is strong and lightweight. This is the same construction that is used on many luxury yachts as well as our patented EarthRoamer XV-LT bodies. Yes, it is challenging and expensive to manufacture a one piece molded composite body, but with no seams to leak and no glued together flat panels to come apart, EarthRoamer bodies are designed to last for your lifetime and beyond. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, the generously radiused corners of EarthRoamer bodies dramatically reduce the impact of heavy cross winds when compared to inexpensive flat panel construction.
EarthRoamer bodies also have excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties. With no steel or aluminum reinforcement required, EarthRoamer bodies have no thermal conduction paths which enable effective heating and cooling with smaller and more energy efficient heaters and air conditioners. Our customers have used our vehicles in Alaska, British Columbia and Minnesota winters to temperatures lower than -25 degrees Fahrenheit.
The 2012 EarthRoamer XV-LT and XV-LTS both offer new standard features including central locking that includes the camper and locker doors, 90 gallon fuel capacity, 8.1 cubic foot stainless fridge/freezer, 12,000 btu air conditioner, 3,000 watt inverter, 125 amp charger and King off-road shocks. We are also offering exciting new options on the 2012 models including Bose 5.1 surround sound, HD Satellite TV and ultrathin 32 inch LED HDTVs.
With well over 100 EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicles on the road, we are confident that we build the highest quality and most refined design of any expedition vehicle manufacturer. With our new "stretched" XV-LT, we can now meet the needs of adventurers needing more space. Whether you are traveling with the whole family or just want more interior space and luxury, EarthRoamer builds an expedition vehicle that is sized to meet your unique requirements. |

Consignment Sales
If the price of a new EarthRoamer is beyond your budget or you are just looking for an incredible value, an EarthRoamer Certified™ EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicle may be the answer for you. EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicles are built to last a lifetime (and then some), so many EarthRoamer owners have discovered that a used high quality EarthRoamer "XV" is a much better value than a new "RV."
EarthRoamer Certified™ Xpedition Vehicles are hand selected and meticulously inspected. Only the best pre-owned vehicles that have passed our intensive 500+ point inspection will be designated as EarthRoamer Certified™ - no exceptions. This is the exact same inspection that each new EarthRoamer must pass where every functional system is tested for compliance with factory specifications by the same craftsmen who originally built the vehicle. If any discovered flaws cannot be repaired to EarthRoamer standards, the vehicle will simply not be certified.
Our new vehicle production schedule is booked through late summer of 2012, but if you want an EarthRoamer for Spring and Summer of 2012 the good news is that we have a great selection of late model, low mileage, well equipped EarthRoamer XV-LT's to choose from. Most of these vehicles are EarthRoamer Certified™ and many look like the day they left the showroom floor.
Owner's sell their EarthRoamer's for a variety of reasons including major life changes and for financial reasons in a difficult economy, but three of the seven EarthRoamer's currently listed below are being sold because the owners have placed an order for a new 2012 model EarthRoamer XV-LT. In fact, 19 EarthRoamer owners have bought 2 or more EarthRoamer's, 5 have owned 3 or more EarthRoamers, and one couple is on their 4th EarthRoamer - that is a customer loyalty record unmatched by any other expedition vehicle manufacturerer!

If you have a desire to get off the beaten path and explore, but can't picture yourself in a typical RV, we have the answer for you — a four wheel drive, all weather EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicle (XV). We manufacture and sell what we believe are the ultimate four-wheel drive "go anywhere" campers. Our EarthRoamer XVs are equipped with all the systems needed to travel confidently to remote areas for extended periods of time without dependence on external campsite hookups. Why be tethered to a concrete pad in an RV, when you can be experiencing adventure in an XV?
We have been building and rigorously testing expedition vehicles for well over a decade, from the bitter shores of the Arctic Ocean in Prudhoe Bay Alaska to the warm soothing waters of the Sea of Cortez and throughout mainland Mexico and Central America. One intrepid EarthRoamer owner chose to drive his EarthRoamer XV-LT completely around the world! We rely on our vehicles in harsh environments so we build our vehicles to last. We use the highest quality materials, hardware and components. We are so confident in the quality of our vehicles that we provide a factory three year/36,000 mile warranty.
We believe in preserving the environment for the adventurers of tomorrow, so our vehicles are designed to be powered by renewable energy sources like solar power and biodiesel and we actively support the Tread Lightly philosophy of responsible recreation.
We encourage you to compare the value of an EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicle (XV) with traditional recreational vehicles (RVs). There is no other choice that provides the quality, durability, and convenience of operations in a package with four-wheel drive and four-season capability. With an EarthRoamer XV, you can truly Live Your Dream!

EarthRoamer Owners Rallies
EarthRoamer Owners Rallies are a great way for owners to meet each other, spend time with EarthRoamer employees and learn how to get the most out of the EarthRoamer experience. The rallies are held annually at locations within a day's drive of EarthRoamer headquarters. EarthRoamer employees and EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicle owners are invited to participate. In addition to being a lot of fun, rallies typically include training on four-wheel drive techniques, recovery tactics, wilderness safety, and expedition travel.
The 2011 EarthRoamer Owner's Rally was held at Grand Mesa, Colorado and the 2012 ER Owner's Rally will be held near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado in Mid-August. The 2010 EarthRoamer Owner's Rally started in Great Sand Dunes National Park and proceeded Nortwest to Tincup Pass and Twin Lakes near Leadville. The 2009 EarthRoamer Owners Rally was held near Moab, Utah and event highlights included a challenging four-wheel drive trip through Arches National Park and a thrilling descent down the Schafer Trail in Canyonlands National Park.

Photography
Good photographers don't take photographs, they make photographs. Making good pictures is challenging and requires vision, good technique and high quality equipment. To really make good photographs, the photographer must see beyond what is there, and have a vision of what can be there. Photography in many ways was the start of EarthRoamer.
