Overland Classifieds :: 2008 EarthRoamer XV-LT

The EarthRoamer is arguably the definitive luxury overland rig and a build by which many alternatives are measured. The company was established in 1998 and has since “been redefining luxury camping with our solar/diesel hybrid, four-wheel drive overland vehicle. We are the go-anywhere, do anything answer for people who want to travel on their own terms and seek their own adventures – without sacrificing any of the comforts of home.” It’s crucial to understand that the eye-watering price tag is not simply for a capable vehicle but rather a luxury rolling home. The cost reflects the immense amount of research, development, skilled labor, and premium parts required to create a go-anywhere apartment. Nevertheless, these rigs are not mass-produced and pre-owned examples seldom come up for sale, with only a handful listed on our forum, including this $299,000 2010 XV-LT and a $200,000 EarthRoamer #28. If you’d like a better idea of how this monster rig handles backcountry trails, then I recommend checking out the Animal Overland Youtube and the EarthRoamer Skills Course demonstration at Overland Expo West. Today’s 2008 offering has covered just 80,000 miles and features a huge list of premium modifications and an exquisite camper interior.

From the Seller:

I’m the second owner and bought the vehicle in 2018-2019 with just 26,000 miles. All camper work was completed by Earthroamer. It has been very well kept and stored indoors.”
