Jay Leno's Garage: "The Earthroamer"

This is why rich people are not well liked.

I don’t particularly care for it. It’s trying to be an off-road Overland adventure camper and a luxury Class A at the same time and accomplishes neither. If it’s still a factory stock F-350 drivetrain, they aren’t highly regarded for off-road driving BEFORE you add however much weight that the camper adds. It’s only slightly better off road than the standard Class A, and I bet you could find a specialty Class A that would match it in performance.

So if you take the whole “extreme adventure” idea, you have an extremely expensive and extremely tiny Class A.

@LuFins-Dad Mrs. George agrees.

What I did like is the attention to detail and overall craftsmanship. I also liked the idea of batteries for electricity, just from a curiosity standpoint.

But, as you say, for that kind of money, you could get a very, very nice Class-A which is larger and more comfortable. You plug in (making batteries redundant) and you're good to go.

Also, in reality, how many people really do serious off-roading? This seems like more of a gimmick than a feature one needs.

Plenty of folks here. However they off road on ATVs. They spend thousands of $$$$ on trucks and trailers to carry their expensive off road toys. Usually set up a base camp - and go out on day trips or overnight into more remote areas. Throughout summer and fall the eastern slopes of the Rockies are a buzz with off roaders.

And if you ask them whether they would have preferred to use a luxury RV, I guess they would be a nearly unanimous no.

@LuFins-Dad Plus we come with a spare tire already.

Overpriced crap.

[taiwan_girl]

I am with @George-K I think it is cool from the design standing, but I would not (actually could not afford to) buy one! 5555

My "off road" setup is probably between USD $1000 and $2000

Tent
sleeping bag
sleeping pad
backpack
trekking poles
etc.
