Is This $1.1 Million 2023 EarthRoamer SX Still the KING? Come Check Out This Massive Built RV! 

Yes, we hope to do a drive soon!

I see what you did there 😁

Would love to see how the SX and LTI fair off road how rugged can it get and it’s handling abilities

Pulled a Doug!! Well done sir.

They wish they were Doug lol

I’m sure the owner will have a fully auto rifle. Good luck to the robber, over my dead body! Haha

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 If I was rolling around in this I'd be so weaponed up, there wouldn't be room for anybody else

Another Sign and Form of Proof that America is Violent as Fck !

Please do, I have 21 reasons and 42 more ready to explain why you've made a bad choice 😆

It's really cool to see. It's way above my level of pampering, but I still love seeing what custom builders do making trail style RV's.

And should be for over one million dollars.

I went from going to buy a 50 ft fifth wheel to changing my mind and going to nomad. Off-road. THIS IS SO LUXURIOUS AND IT WOULD BE EASY TO HANDLE. YES I THINK IT'S WORTH THE PRICE

Not much here is custom... It's all actually preset, they don't do a lot of customization.

I agree. I see these as the American version of those German style heavy touring vehicle built on MAN chassis. Yes, you absolutely could travel the world in one, and in countries where just getting around requires 4 wheel drive then something like this makes some sense. However in the US, minus maybe Alaska, this thing makes very little sense.

@@PatrickRich - The other thing that has always got me about ER's is their actual coach outfitting is not all that great for the price. Certainly not on the level of those big European conversions, nor even domestic high end RV coach builders.

They look to limited to actually go anywhere off road

@@PatrickRich exactly

@@donleamon8653 they previously have gone bankrupt somehow I don't think they've learnt how to make a better expedition vehicle

It’s hand built. Not mass produced. Your not paying for just the parts. You pay for the quality. Drive a Bentley and then a Chrysler 300. You can tell which one is hand made. Also the Bentley will last you decades compared to the Chrysler 300.

@@Rummelta Bentley is a car built from scratch. Here we have a truck made from another company, like a Ford. Yes it has been improved a lot, and the living part of it is great. But it is still a Ford (or some of the other trucks they are using) But I get it like Bentley, there is a market for people showing that they can afford the most expensive car.

@@danielsal5442 I agree that they are overpriced but noone is building something this offroad capable with these features so it is meant for people who do not care about a million dollars and there are plenty of them when you dont have much competition. Can you really say that a richard mille is worth a million bucks but this isnt? Id much rather have one of these irresepective of market value.

I think you fail to understand business modelling. From being around sailboats, I can tell you that the molds for body panels like that are not cheap at all, and they don't last; they have to be replaced regularly(probably every 50 or so units for something like this). Then there's the craftsmen. If you want to retain a staff of skilled tradespeople, you have to be able to pay them for their skills. Around here, an AVERAGE is $40/hour, plus benefits(paid by the employer), liability insurance, etc. My dad bills his guys out at $120/hr, and after they're paid, insurance is paid, and everything else, he's maybe making $10/hour per guy. But to prevent turnover, you have to be able to offer them steady work. These things don't sell to everyone(350ish of them on the road), but you have to be able to keep the talented, trained guys around to maintain the level of quality. Then there's the facility itself: gotta pay for the land, the structure, the utilities, the tools... it's a long list, and we haven't even started buying the truck, the components, or the materials yet! Furthermore, they're marketing a premium luxury product to people with money, and those people WANT some degree of exclusivity. They WANT to turn heads and be able to brag about their fancy RV. They aren't profiting nearly as much as you think they are. You're just clueless about how business expenses work, and probably a little butthurt that your broke ass can't afford one. 😂

@@bradsimpson8724 You get your knowledge from your dads business and think you can apply it on all companies. Good for you!

Yeah I as boutta say, are they the king of unaffordability

They have a payroll of 114 workers and only build a few a year. They have more than $200k in it.

@@JC-dr8ev if they sell it at $400k each ones trust me they will sell more than 5x of what they sell in a year

You're confusing mass production with handmade quality... I'd say they earned their money building this, it's fit for a King

@@ironicallyvague1265 ok go ahead and buy one or 2

Dude, really? It's a shop building custom luxury off-road campers. They're busy doing shit, and if you did one lick of research, you'd know it's very prominently posted on their site that they don't accept walk-ins. One in a thousand people, or less, actually has the means to afford one of these, and even fewer the inclination. They'd have to hire 20 more people to appease every slack-jawed looky-loo that wants to cone in and poke around with no ability or intention of supporting their business. Make an appointment. I called ahead and went in to look at a pre-roamed rig, and was greeted with open arms and a great experience. Don't be mad at them for being uninterested in having their time wasted so the hundredth jackass of the day could get their Instagram shot next to one of their rigs. If you want to do that, go see them at a show where they're EXPECTING to have their time wasted.

cool story...

Right on! Hell by then they'll just send home depot shit to your house and take it out of your check. Even if you didn't want anything. 😂

For a million dollars I would probably go another direction!

@@theglitch99 For sure unless i hit the big game

Klaus shwab says ull own nothing n be happy so u not gonna own anything

Great vehicle for a person with part time pizza delivery gig.

They aren't meant to. They're very specifically a boutique firm marketing to wealthy buyers. That's the whole business model. There are already dozens of companies building cheap camper boxes for every piece of white trash with a down payment. The number of people offering something like this in the US is very small, and was even smaller when Bill built the first one.

I think they said in another video 40/year. 1 year wait list to have one built.

150k + truck is my guess. So their profit is around 850k once it sells lol

@@alphanation368 yeah - I'd put 100k-maybe 120k at max - no reason it should cost more than that. Should come with a year (or more)'s worth of free fuel too, just completely overpriced when you could buy an actual house (or better more expansive RVs) for a fraction of the cost. Just seems the 'more expensive the better' companies started making stuff like this. Reminds me of the DIY van people for ~15k, yet companies charging 10x or more for a similar product, just bonkers to me.

whatever the cost of the truck plus maybe 50k for the camper would be their cost. it is a complete rip off.

If any of you can produce it for these ridiculous numbers you are pulling out your a**, you can easily become multimillionaires. Why hasn't a competitor come along and taken all their business over the last 25 odd years if it would be so easy to do so? Surely your families could benefit from you guys getting out there and out competing ER?

Extremely good point man, as a tech guy i see so much more that could and should be done in this thing

overpriced, this is ridicuolously jewish

I agree! just way to much money to overlook even the smallest of things. Also for the money I would like to see the testing breakdown. I would not want to spend 1.1 mill and the door fall off after using it ten times. The people in the market for this kinda outdoors product are not making that kinda money, imo sorry

$1.1 million isn't what it used to be.

All mods can be ordered and put on the cab and chassis, show me something original

@TBM, Agreed. 2003, we engineered our ExpeditionVehicle for about five percent (5%) of this asking price. Another benefit other than cost: * reliability, durability, resilience. Our rig has zero enormously complex components cobbled into enormously complex systems.

Very much agree on that

…and a vacation home.

I thought really nice RV's were like $100,000, have prices changed that much?

And some atvs

Glad to see a dry bath again for these. I haven’t seen that sense the early days of EarthRoamer. Meaning the Expedition Portal days. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@@HighRiderSonoma They really need to figure out how to get a dry bath in the LTi. even if they get rid of that couch that doesn't really look comfortable anyways and could also make the kitchen a little bigger with a dry bath and separate shower. They should at least try to make it an option, it would be a huge hit.

They're cunning, obviously know what they're doing.

Classic.

That doesn't sound tax friendly

Exactly. A lot of the other European trucks also would be a lot better

All that info is on their website.

You have got it in one the weight distribution Cabover European truck vastly superior

It's a vacuum infused carbon fiber shell making it very light weight. It looks top heavy but it isn't. The lithium battery bank as well as gas and water tanks are evenly distributed at chassis level making it very stable.

It's WAY lighter than it looks. Like AT LEAST a ton lighter than if it was made in aluminum or fiberglass.

So Expensive buy a House and Lot to Settle and Lived... 😢😢😭😭🤔🤔🤔™️™️😔😔😔😏😏🍞🍞🍞

People that buy these have several homes already, lot cheaper than private jet or 80’ yacht for a toy. Why not a home that can go to remote off road places

and overpriced

@@J-_-S the CF shell alone probably costs a couple hundred grand. That process is NOT cheap.

@@spdcrzy maybe, its just guesssing price. Its still overpriced on eevery aspect.

@@J-_-S you're not thinking about the fact that they're replacing the ENTIRE interior, building every single thing from scratch, and providing a stupid amount of electrical power for the cost, and doing it in extremely low numbers compared to a lot of European manufacturers of these overlanding vehicles. They've only been producing more than one or two a year for maybe the last decade, and they've ramped up production tremendously. Not to mention, experienced American skilled trade labor is veeeeery expensive.

If you have the money for one of these you can afford a hotel while it's being worked on.

@@TrulyUnfortunate By that standard, those who have the money can jet & helicopter themselves anywhere in the world and be back in their 5-star residences for dinner. However that is sure no part of the game here! Regardless of their wealth, the path of adventurers in these vehicles may very well lead to places, where it may be hard to find a qualified mechanic, let alone a hotel; at least not one that can keep up with the creature comforts that camper here can offer. That is something that could have been considered and incorporated into the design by the manufacturer. Quite possibly with little effort and at a lower cost than many of the other already existing offered features.

@@mrtopcat2 When I said they could afford a hotel I assumed it would be in a city thats large enough to have a facility that could work on it. If not you're going to be in for a very pricey tow to get it to somewhere it can be fixed. Again no worries about money. If you maintain a diesel properly you really dont have to many breakdowns. And again if you have that kind of money you just put in a new engine or transmission. As far as other campers goes there aren't that many out there that are off road capable. From what I've seen the price difference isnt that different for others with the same capabilities.

@@TrulyUnfortunate I am talking about a camper that is designed in ways that it can be detached. What you wrote about diesel engines is only partially true, especially these days. They can have the same issues that any modern engine has. So regardless of engine type, proper diagnostic can be sometimes more involved and take long time and may even involve ordering part (waiting) and throwing those parts at a problem. By the way, especially in case of the (GM/Ford) 10-speed transmission, which still has many unexplained issues. Look it up. This manufacturer did the same non-removable-cab-non-sense on their Ford based models. Except on the Ford you must remove the cab for cylinder head removal. Please look it up, I am really past arguing about this as I wrote this comment regarding the Ford based chassis and in turn the fanboys (or could be the PR-arm of the company itself) were all over me with MIS-information trying to state otherwise. Please look up how such repairs go or better try to do a few of them yourself. It is easy to armchair things, but when you work on these things your perspective changes. Really, I have been working on cars and truck for over 35 years now. So I am past arguing with friends, who armchair things, with little to no practical experience.

@@mrtopcat2 The first time I saw a newer Ford pickup in the shop with the entire cab lifted from the frame, I chuckled with amazement. Who engineered such redonckulous.

You people really don't get it. This isn't even the worst investment you could make, as overpriced as this is, there are worse options to splurge money. This isn't to be seen as an alternative to an house, even though it is functionally; rather it's a fun, exclusive, luxurious and comfortable way to spend time for very rich people. If you had 50M in your bank account, you'd buy it.

Just get GM truck for $50,000 + spend extra $40,000 in extra modifications and you will get exactly same vice..
