Earth Romer bad ass
I'd rather have the $650k . . .Bad ass. And HUGE. Imagine driving that "off road"
I'd rather have an RV and a JEEP and the cost of that beast is probably equal to them both
Pretty sure there was someone on here that has or had a Global Expedition with the garage up high in the back. There was a pic of it on here from the Dunes in Newport.My wife and I have actually been shopping them or similar. There are better ones out there IMO. Personally the issues with them is they try to pack too much luxury in an expedition vehicle. There was an older earth romer for sale in Parker.
I’d be looking at global expedition vehicles as a choice or the new earthcruiser with the 6.2 and Allison.

The interiors don't suck. LOLThe inside would blow your mind. Saw this one in William's a couple years ago and got to do a walk through. I think he was close to 450k with his options.. View attachment 832342

Yeah the mrs likes that one. It will hold a rzr if you remove the roll bar which isnt the end if the world if you are in one place for awhile. That one is actually for sale.Pretty sure there was someone on here that has or had a Global Expedition with the garage up high in the back. There was a pic of it on here from the Dunes in Newport.
And that's the conundrum or irony in this whole thing. What person that can afford a 1.5 million RV is going to go out and SERIOUSLY become one with earth and use it like it's "designed" to be used. Guarantee 99.9999999% of these never see a true offroad trail let alone blaze their own path.For a fraction of what these Earth Roamer types sell for, this guy will convert your E450 class C to 4x4.
It's not going to be a full on expedition vehicle but how many of us would need one?

This is headed to Az.
you getting this?

Thats hillarious! I have the same exact coach and I can only imagine what it sounds like inside taking any sort of "trail"! My coach sounds like hell unleashed just going down grated washboard roads getting to camp. LOL And Winnebago makes a decent coach, still rattles like hell.
600k! Holy shit!They're bad ass. Just make sure you bring your checkbook. That one is roughly 600k as it sits USED.
The new F650 model (little larger) is 1.5 mil

I gotta laugh at the whole "adventuring" schtick. We did that as kids, it was called "camping".
Give me a 3/4 ton 4WD pickup and 8-10 foot camper and I'll go do the same "overland adventures" as the guys spending $600k+.
God bless those manufacturers though, they have great marketing.
Same thing with the whole adventure motorcycle craze right now.
That is fuckin RAD! Post some pics of the build and the inside? What a cool project. Way to go man. Beautiful. Can you crawl through from cab to camper?Not an actual overlander, but here is my 7.3 F450 4x4 based camper I just finished. I took a Lance double slide 1172, mounted it to a custom flatbed / storage bin setup I built. I skinned it with Filion, bought the bin doors and all the RV edge moulding online. Came out great, has good sized tanks and an LP generator onboard, even has factory solar. I also installed the beefy Torklift Truss hitch setup capable of towing 12K. I got tired of fighting our big 35' diesel trying to get in and out of the smaller beach campgrounds and remote spots we frequent....wifey says it's a little small but I couldn't be happier. As a bonus, it's registered as a 2001 housecar and is only $230 to register. View attachment 832590
LOL when we go out with friends we always laugh and ask, when did “farting around in the desert” become Over-landing
Between REI and the internet its shoved way too many people into the back country that have no business being there IMO. Probably the same goes for local forest.
This overland fad has all the makings of a hobby as there are endless gadgets and gear to buy to make your Car a mock up of your subdivision home. Once the asshats realize its still tent camping and tire of it after a few trips, there will be plenty of cheap goods to pick up.
