In an era where delayed flights, congested highways, and crowded hotels have become the unfortunate norm, luxury travelers are increasingly seeking new, innovative ways to explore the world on their terms. Enter EarthRoamer—an extraordinary breed of luxury expedition vehicle that has reshaped the concept of high-end adventure travel. Since its inception in 1998, EarthRoamer has built over 425 vehicles that combine unrivaled comfort, exceptional off-road capability, and unmatched independence from traditional travel limitations.
The late Bill Swails, founder of EarthRoamer, envisioned a vehicle capable of traversing the globe’s most remote destinations without sacrificing comfort or convenience. His passion led to the creation of EarthRoamer’s exceptional lineup, including two flagship models, the LTx and the SX. Each vehicle is meticulously handcrafted by a dedicated team of over 110 skilled artisans in Dacono, Colorado, ensuring superior craftsmanship and attention to detail.
What truly sets EarthRoamer apart is the innovative integration of luxury and rugged capability. Each vehicle features a monocoque constructed, vacuum-infused carbon fiber body, an engineering marvel that weighs less than 1,200 pounds. This innovative construction includes a structural foam core, providing incredible insulation and strength without compromising weight. As a result, EarthRoamer vehicles offer unmatched durability and thermal regulation, effortlessly maintaining comfortable living conditions from extreme lows of -20 degrees Fahrenheit to sweltering highs of 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Both the EarthRoamer LTx and SX models come equipped with sizable 43-inch military-grade tires on beadlock wheels. They can comfortably cruise at highway speeds of 75 mph while maintaining impeccable off-road performance. Coupled with air-ride suspension that allows independent adjustment of each wheel or axle, these vehicles offer superior ground clearance and effortless leveling, an essential feature for remote campsite setup.
EarthRoamer’s commitment to self-sufficiency in the wilderness is evident through its diesel-solar hybrid system. A massive rooftop solar array generating 1,480 watts feeds an impressive 18,000-watt-hour lithium-ion battery bank. This design eliminates the need for propane or noisy generators, ensuring owners enjoy a peaceful and hassle-free adventure, no matter how remote the destination.
Adding another layer of convenience and luxury, EarthRoamers are equipped with integrated Starlink satellite internet. This technology guarantees connectivity even in the most secluded locations, enabling adventurers to stay in touch with the outside world, stream entertainment, or conduct business virtually anywhere on the planet. Sure, you may not want to work when out in the sticks, but in the off-case you have to, this setup has you covered.
Inside an EarthRoamer, owners experience comforts comparable to a luxury residence. The interiors boast premium hardwood cabinetry, plush fabrics, granite or quartz countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances, including an Invisacook induction cooktop and up to 10 cubic feet of refrigerator and freezer space. A spacious and inviting interior stands 6-foot 10-inches high and features amenities such as a California King master sleeping area, a convertible rear dinette providing additional sleeping arrangements, a full wet bath with a shower, and ample storage solutions. There are also optional features like a central vacuum system and an elegant wine rack.
Technologically sophisticated and comfortable, EarthRoamer vehicles include dual touchscreen master control centers, a 42-inch Smart LED HDTV, and frameless, flush-mount glass windows, each adding to the vehicle’s streamlined aesthetic and panoramic views. Onboard air compressors and four air chucks enhance practicality and ease of use, making tire adjustments effortless.
Beyond their undeniable luxury and engineering prowess, EarthRoamer vehicles boast impressive endurance. With a fuel capacity of 95 gallons, each EarthRoamer can travel up to 1,000 miles between fill-ups. Moreover, large-capacity water tanks—100 gallons fresh and 40 gallons gray—ensure self-sufficiency for extended off-grid journeys.
Owners of EarthRoamer vehicles have ventured into some of the harshest environments imaginable, amassing hundreds of thousands of miles and countless nights spent in rugged yet comfortable solitude. From the expansive wilderness of Alaska’s backcountry to the pristine beaches of Baja, EarthRoamer enables the exploration of regions inaccessible by traditional means, redefining luxury adventure travel.
Whether navigating challenging trails, savoring solitude beside a remote mountain stream, or enjoying sunset views along secluded coastlines, EarthRoamer represents the pinnacle of off-grid luxury, empowering travelers to forge their own paths in unparalleled comfort.
