Exclamation Ford F750 based EarthRoamer

"Ford F-750-based EarthRoamer expedition vehicle targets mega-wealthy
Is this the ultimate campervan? It’s certainly one of the most expensive, and toughest-looking.

Unveiled recently at SEMA in Las Vegas by expedition vehicle specialist EarthRoamer, the new XV-HD motorhome is based on a Ford F-750 Super Duty 4WD truck and will retail in the US for a cool $1.5million (that’s little change from $2million in Aussie dollars, in case you were wondering).

Marketed as a bigger, more luxurious alternative to the company’s Ford F-550 based XV-LTS model (which costs around a third of the price of its big brother), the new XV-HD is powered by a stump-pulling 298kW/1254Nm 6.7-litre turbo-diesel engine matched to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The bad-*** camper stands 4.05m tall,**10.5m long, and 2.55m wide, and boasts 300mm ground clearance and a 15 tonne gross vehicle weight.

To add to its rock-hopping capabilities, the monster motorhome is fitted with 46in Michelin XZL tyres, rear air suspension with Fox shocks, hydraulic leveling, a 30,000 lb. Warn winch and a Baja Designs LED light array that mounts to the king-size grille.

The custom, handcrafted interior features a full bathroom with separate shower, n-floor radiant heating, two TV/surround sound systems, and a kitchen with slide-out freezer and ice-maker, three-burner induction cooktop, washer/dryer and convection microwave.

Bespoke touches*

Other eye-catching features include a big club lounge that converts to a second king size bed, CCTV security system, slide-out staircase, and marble tiles for the shower and benchtops.

Ensuring its occupants can comfortably survive out in the boondocks for weeks, the XV-HD also gets 2100 watts solar capability, Lithium Ion battery bank, PTO driven hydraulic generator, 950 litres fresh water capacity and 435 litre fuel tank.

The Colorado-based EarthRoamer describes itself as “the world leader in off-road, off-grid, luxury expedition vehicles” and looking at this, who’s to argue?" When I go to post photo I get a blank page.

God damn!

I thought the F650 was a monster but this is just over the top.

I't like a Unimog camper, but twice as long. Pretty cool looking thing.

EarthRoamer - it wins from the name alone, like some kind of recently discovered dinosaur.

Needs to be parked beside a f150 for a decent size comparison.

The F550 version looks tiny in comparison

Here's some detail on the F750 model
