Jay Leno's Garage: "The Earthroamer"

[George K]

Yesterday afternoon, I took another look at their website. The model that Leno presented is the smaller, and cheaper less expensive of their products.

Here's the Big Boy:

Each HD is a fully loaded luxury overland vehicle featuring every option we offer including lithium batteries, radiant floor heat, washer/dryer, dry bath, and so much more. The price of an EarthRoamer HD is $1,900,000 plus options. Our experienced design team will work with you to tailor the floor plan to your specific needs.

The first seven EarthRoamer HD‘s are on the road, with three more currently in production. If you would like to reserve a production position or learn more about the purchase process and lead time, please contact: info@earthroamer.com or call: 303-833-7330.

Here's one of the 6 available floorpans:

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.

LOL

@jodi I heard you saw this in a parking lot recently?
