2023 Rossmönster Snowbird :: Featured Classified

With more opportunities than ever to work remotely, there’s never been a better time to live on the road. I’ve been a digital nomad for more than a decade, and despite a steep learning curve, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made and enriched my life no end. During this time, I’ve recognized that to live/work this way requires a well-appointed camper that’s four-season ready and provides sufficient amenities. With this in mind, expedition trucks are optimal and enable remote backcountry exploration in climate-controlled luxury. Cue today’s low-mileage 2023 Rossmönster Snowbird (21,500 miles), which is underpinned by a 2021 Ford F-550 Lariat 4×4 and showcases extensive premium upgrades and an exceptionally well-appointed camper. Rossmönster states that the Snowbird was “designed for year-round off-grid living … it houses everything from an indoor bathroom and washing machine to tons of exterior locking storage and gear-hauling capacity.” As expected, this premium rig is not cheap at $425,000 but a relative bargain when you consider that the base price for a comparable EarthRoamer LTx is $798,000. Crucially, the Snowbird is a legitimate long-term home that accommodates four adults and the price should be understood as such.

From the Seller:

“Over the past 13 months, I have loved the opportunity to travel all around the country and Canada in this rig. This is the third vehicle I’ve lived in, and it far surpasses the capabilities of the two others. This was designed to spend weeks, if not a month, parked in the most remote locations and be fully self-sufficient. My friends and family have loved this truck, too. I’ve had up to seven adults around the dinette comfortably hanging out with the windows wide open or the fire going in the wood-burning stove. Although I’m selling this truck to settle into a house, I plan to shop for my next vehicle and camper, dreaming of the functionality built into this one and knowing that I won’t be able to rival it.”
