Your bank must be different than mine. $331k is not cheap.
Cool and all but I don’t think Earthroamer will be losing any sleep over it.
I paid less for my lake home in northern Minnesota 4 years ago 😮
You can see why it’s cheaper than an earthroamer. Bathroom situation sucks. Materials are much worse. Finishes are like an office max.
Yes! Love that you guys took it off road right away!
I suspect that the top-heaviness would increase the chances of rolling it on more extreme terrain?
Andre what world do u live in buddy where 300k won't break your bank
Awesome Winnebago adventure build
Wait, the entire stove is a portable single burner electric hot plate????
Just buy the truck separate and pull the RV or buy a flat bed and install your own rv camper!
Good thing to see more competition in that overhyped segment.
2027 and Ram are still building the same rust bucket cab from 16 years ago, unbelievable
If money were no object, I would love one, but right now I'm happy with my 48k dollar 2015 Ram dually and my 50k N-L cabover. That left over enough to buy my 2007 Freightliner Columbia new for 105k. Ah, the good old days
Roll the dice buying from a mass RV maker like Winnebago. If you have major issues good luck getting them fixed.
$331,000 for THAT interior? it looks like an emergency escape pod like it couldn't have been designed worse.
I'm clearly completely out of touch on these. I expected $150k. Not $332k when the title says "half the cost" I guess motor homes are not cheap either
I guess if you can afford this thing, no need to worry about gas prices
Thanks for reviewing this truck. Always interested in hearing about new releases. One challenge when watching the video is that “quality” is hard to see. It is something that needs a close focus or feeling it. Hard to see fit and finish, unless it is really bad. When I got an RV, I went with a brand known for high quality. I did it because I wanted an RV, not a “project”, where I’d be fixing quality issues or finding others to fix it. So my big questions for you, what did you think about the fit and finish? Was it put together well? Did it rattle?
the aftermarket is going to absolutely eat this thing up!
Interesting about the 4 mounting joints that mate the house frame to the chassis frame. So, the whole house is riding on 4 stress points. - I'd be inspecting them often.
