The EarthRoamer XV-JP, a revolutionary new sel fcontained,go-anywhere camper designed and built by EarthRoamer,
has successfully completed the Rubicon Trail.One of the most difficult and definitely the most well known 4x4 trail in the United
States, the Rubicon Trail in the California High Sierras is a proving ground like no other.Twenty two miles of extreme terrain including rocky climbs with massive boulders,narrow passages, steep inclines and an occasional mud-hole crossing the Rubicon is
truly a journey past the point of no return, demanding everything a vehicle and driver has to offer.
Driven by Scott Brady and spotted by Chris Marzonie, The Jeep Rubicon Unlimited based EarthRoamer XV-JP did not disappoint on its namesake trail. With its aggressive 33 mud terrain tires, ultra low 5.13 gearing, locking differentials and stout skid plates, the EarthRoamer XV-JP camper has gone where no camper has gone before. EarthRoamers co-founder and Chief Designer Bill Swails was happy to report that the queen size bed in the electronically expandable Loftop™, the large on-board refrigerator powered by a built-in 80 watt solar panel, and sanitary facilities including toilet, sink and shower with hot and cold running water worked great too. It was a fantastic experience said Swails, the XV-JP worked exactly as we designed it, safely traversing one of the most difficult off-highway trails in the country, if not the world. This is the first time a self-contained, fully enclosed production camper has conquered the Rubicon.
Initial testing, which has taken the XV-JP proto-type from its home base in the mountains of Colorado through the jungles of Central America, the deserts of Moab Utah, and now he Rubicon trail is complete and production has begun.

  • Can you put the roof down if the tent is wet? Will it drip into the camper? In the NW it rains constantly.

  • I love riding those trails with my dirt bike.

  • Very impressive!! It must be nice sleeping in that nice bed without setting up a tent on the cold,rocky, unlevel ground with all the critters!!

  • How much does the camper affect the performance compared to a stock Rubicon?

  • I so want one of these!

  • Limited by the tire size? The thing just made it through the Rubicon. What more do you want? Its perfectly capable as it is and the only thing bigger tires are going to do is unnecessarily raise the center of gravity.

  • Pretty limited by the size of those tiny tires.

  • и не страшно ли на катафалке лакокрсочное покрытие или солнечные панели о камушки поцарапать?)

  • MAQUINA TOTAL!!!!!!!!!
