Who is this content for? Jeff Bazos?
Always wondered... + $330K why are such adventure rigs so expensive!? Ok, the truck /chassis itself is probably around $100K. Does that mean $200K + is for the cabin? Is that so expensive to build it? 🤔
$330,000 people pay mortgages with that kind of money…..and the winch is not included is crazy
as an owner of a Winnie B van, I can tell you it's just going to be made from the absolute cheapest materials if you look under the skin of it.
I love it!!! However, I would see if I could convert the toilet into a Laveo dry flush toilet.
Awesome build, but 300K isn't "chump change".
1 problem ram 🐏 😂😂😂
The difference- the EARTH ROAMER will last more than a month before it falls apart.
I work at Winnebago. Be very careful.
When I sell my house and retired 😂
Why is everyone commenting EarthRoamer is the best? The best was, and still is Unicat. Rigs 20+ years and going strong. EarthRoamer tries to copy them but haven’t gotten the chassis right at all. A Unicat has 50% more living space on the same length. More capable rigs off road with 6x6 or 8x8 options. It’s like the people here don’t have internet and only watch TFL like it’s their favorite TV channel.
“Nice and circular”
Looks good! Can you get one on a Ford chassis?
Almost $400k and the shower is in the middle of the room? Wow
I looked at these earthworms for over the past five years and this one is probably about the cheapest price. The majority of them have always been about 500,000+ I think the reason why this price might be a little bit cheaper is because of the economy and a lot of retirees have to be a little bit more mindful as well with their spending and the off grid community is most likely holding on to their mobile RVs
What I think about it is this: $300k+ is asking a lot for a motor home with kitchen area outlets that are level with the sink; safety is obviously an afterthought. The "bathroom" is also extremely cramped. And how do you have a shower without water getting into the loft bed area? Because that drape thingy is obviously not gonna keep water out of it. They should also have insulated it for temps down to -20 F at the very least. They have some kinks to iron out before this is worth spending your life savings on. Because that's their customer base. This is a supposedly a budget option. Rich people don't go for this. So, for their customers to afford this they will spend some of their life savings. And they will not get their money's worth. They have basically gone half the distance in good design and never finished. Then they cobbled the last of it together to have a product. The foundation is solid. But it's not a finished product.
$331,000?????? No fricken way!!
Earthroamer, by Temu.
It looks good on the out and cheap on the inside. Look like It doesn’t ride to good.
They used the space left over from the bathroom and toilet for the garage. Karl 🤣
