If I had a little extra.cash right now.....

........I might get one of these:



I saw one on I-84 Monday just north of Baker City. Great looking adventure rig.

What you and I consider "a little extra cash" are two very different things. $250k I think?

Yeah the Earth Roamers look pretty sweet.
Those seem to be quite well thought out. On paper, the floor plan really looks good, and I like the idea of the permanent bed in my rig (have one now thats been a proven comfortable sleeper while wheeling the Barlow Rd.

I'd like to have the money to simply be in the hunt for one; to test drive it vs a Sportsmobile to see if its too cumbersome, too much, or if its nimble enough. Probably great for Baja and such.

Yeah, that would just a little more that extra pocket cash for me too. In fact if it was over $100, it would be over extra pocket cash for me!

i've drooled over the ER and the Unicats but i'm just not sure that they'd go the places many of us can go with our narrower rigs.

Cari was driving our TACO (and doing a fine job!) about 7 miles up a one lane forestry road (NF 42 WA) and we came head to head with another TACO. We are both 7ft wide with mirrors and the driver side mirrors nearly brushed each other as we crawled by. They were on the outside looking at a near-shear 50 to 60 ft drop into trees, and we already had our curb tires in a road-runoff ditch.

It is hard to imagine the EarthRoamer being a "Go Anywhere RV". And the Unicat video of the big rigs frolicking in the sand dunes is like driving a Semi at 3am on an 8 lane freeway...no big thing. But put either of those behemoths up in the PNW hills and they're gonna get get into trouble!

JMHO

I agree......I think the "go anywhere" should probably be "go a lot of places!" It will go in comfort however.
