try and pick out what’ s interesting about the wide shot

You’ll probably have to download the picture to zoom in, since kinja sucks.

They are big boys, and of course its “from” Montana. Though in this case...it might actually be.

Fully self contained adventure RV’s for people who care about the capital  gains tax.

I’ve seen the smaller ones like that but never the huge one:

I saw this thing yesterday, not off road ready, but I never saw this configuration before.

yup.  there is a strong upcurrent at the point of the mountain right over the freeway and people just glide around there all evening.

They sell like, 4 of those HD’s a year.  I doubt any of us will ever see one.

Yeah, I would prefer a cab over style anyway , I would just buy an LMTV and do what I wanted for a lot less money I think.

I’m about five minutes away from Earthroamer, they’re the next exit north  on the highway. I walked through one that they brought to a Toytec meet a few years ago, that was my first time even hearing about them.

They’re made up the road, I feel like I see them all the time. They certainly have a presence.

Its amazing to me that the niche of SUV campers hasn’t been fulfilled here in the states.

We have vans, and trucks and monsters like earth roamer...but where are the maltecs and campteqs

I’d 100% do that to the 80 if I had the extra money floating around.

I’d also go Tim and Kelsey’s route with the pop-top, but those seem to be unobtainum.

The word on the street was that he was starting up production again, but...

The 80 is...so good.

They are amazingly well built. I got a ride around in this guy

Woo, that’s rad.

Now that I work for some unnamed  outfitter, I don’t doubt that I have the tools to make a campteq of my own, at least the metal parts. I dunno about the fabrics etc.

it occured to me that I wonder what it would really take.

I might toss something in solidworks, I think the big cost drivers would be materials and the ridiculous length of welds required.

A few years ago, I was actually able to tour the Earthroamer factory thanks to a connection on LiveandLetDiecast. It was really amazing seeing how much work goes into those. The price makes more sense when you see the quality of the craftsmanship. It was also cool seeing the XD truck while it was still in development.
