Default Xpedition EarthRoamer

Now rough roads don't mean you have to rough it. EarthRoamer XV-JP combines the off-road capability of a Jeep with innovative EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicle design to create a vehicle with unprecedented capability.

EarthRoamerฎ combines Jeep's legendary off road capability with innovative EarthRoamer design to create an Xpedition Vehicle (XV) with unprecedented capability. Now you can go anywhere a Jeep will go and have all of the comforts of home when you get there including: an inside toilet and shower, queen size bed and a refrigerator freezer.



The EarthRoamer XV-JP provides everything needed for extended camping in remote locations. Built on the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4WD Unlimited platform with electric front and rear locking differentials and electric sway bar disconnect, the XV-JP provides trail performance that is unmatched by any traditional RV. The EarthRoamer XV-JP will carry two people over the tightest and toughest trails and provide a comfortable camping experience once you reach your destination.

Forget about setting up complicated tents in the rain and sleeping on the cold, hard ground. The easy to deploy XV-JP LoftopTM provides a comfortable bedroom-with-a-view – complete with a forced air furnace to keep you warm and electric fan to keep you cool. With the solar powered fridge you will be enjoying fresh foods frozen deserts and cold beverages instead of enduring granola and freeze dried meals. Ready access to a hot shower and toilet turns remote camping trips into an enjoyable experience instead of an endurance effort.

With an EarthRoamer XV-JP you can forget about running out of ice, searching for drinking water, and enduring the elements. With an 80-watt solar panel powering the fridge, a 25 gallon fresh water supply and a heated and ventilated weatherproof shelter, you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor passion and less time trying to maintain a livable camp.



The XV-JP is the same length and width as a stock Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and is as comfortable being used as a garageable, daily driver as it is tackling the tough trails. Keep your gear in your XV-JP, keep the fridge stocked and the water tank full, and you're ready to cut out of work early on Friday and head for your adventure.

Move beyond the hassles and limitations of "car camping" and experience the adventure of an EarthRoamer XV-JP.

Designed from the ground up to tackle trails
• Built on Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4WD Rubicon platform.
• Electric front and rear locking Dana 44 differentials.
• NV241OR two speed transfer case with super-slow, 4:1 crawl ratio.
• Electronic sway bar disconnect improves articulation by 33% when off road.
• Heavy duty coil-springs and gas monotube shocks provide additional ground clearance and improved trail performance.
• Warn 9000 RC winch with synthetic rope for when the going gets really tough.
• Heavy duty off-road bumpers provide extra protection and winch anchor points.
• Four PIAA HID lights mounted high over the cab turns night into day.
• EarthRoamer heavy duty skid plate protects frame mounted camper batteries.
• LT rated mud-terrain off-road tires for excellent trail performance and durability.
• Under-hood, engine driven 8 CFM air compressor for airing-up tires and running power tools.
• 3.8-liter V6 engine provides 202 horsepower and 237 foot-pounds of torque.

XV-JP Purchase Information
We currently have prototype EarthRoamer XV-JPs on the road and are scheduled to begin full production in early July of 2007. We are finalizing options and pricing, but expect a well equipped XV-JP to be priced at about $100,000.

Preorders are being accepted with a fully refundable $5,000 deposit. The $5,000 deposit is an "option to buy" and will secure a build position. Once design, options and pricing have been finalized, you will have the opportunity to lock in your purchase by signing a purchase contract. If for any reason the final design or pricing does not meet your needs, your deposit is fully refundable. Production for 2007 will be limited to a small number of units and we expect the XV-JP to be a popular rig, so if you are seriously interested we encourage you to act quickly.

Seems like a massive waste of space to me...



Where is the stovetop? The shower connections?

Thought you would be able to fit a lot more in there.
