PRESS RELEASE from EarthRoamer: The Jeep Rubicon Unlimited based EarthRoamer XV-JP is designed to carry two adults on technical four-wheel drive trails to remote camping locations. Once in camp, the XV-JP's Loftop™ can be deployed to provide nearly 9 feet of interior stand up height and a queen-size bed in the loft. Underneath the cantilevered loft, the rear tent can be dropped down for an additional bug free living space. The XV-JP comes equipped with 25 gallons of fresh water capacity, an inside cassette toilet, inside shower, sink and cooking facilities. Plenty of light and ventilation is provided by an abundance of screened windows. An electric fan provides additional ventilation when needed and the forced air furnace will keep you cozy on cold nights and when winter camping.
EarthRoamer’s latest expedition vehicle, the XV-JP, has just become a reality. Based off concept drawings first shown off back in January 2007, and built off the new 4-door 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, the XV-JP features an integrated camper “shell” with a roof-mounted tent with sleeping space for 2 adults and all the amenities and necessities for extended-length overland travel. Check out a photo of the roof tent deployed and some preliminary specs after the break.

Highlights:
• Electric motor-powered Loftop™ opens to provide nine feet of interior stand-up height, a kevlar rope-supported, cantilevered queen size bed, and a combination tent/screen room under the rear of the Loftop™.
• Interchangeable “skins” for the Loftop™ let you customize your rig for different weather conditions and are available in all-season, extreme cold weather, and high temperature radiant barrier designs.
• Composite sandwich construction body provides a high strength-to-weight ratio.
• 6100 btu forced air furnace, electric fan ventilation and large windows with built in screens and sunshades keep you comfortable year round.
• Engine-heated 4 gallon hot water tank and a 25 gallon fresh water supply provide plenty of hot and cold water to the indoor galley and shower. Inside cassette toilet with 4.5 gallon externally accessible cassette provides
an elegant solution to waste management – no more dragging a porta-potti through your camper!
• Ultra efficient 4 cubic foot chest refrigerator/freezer utilizes cold plate technology to keep your food and beverages cold.
• 80 watt solar panel and 210 amp-hour AGM battery bank provides power to spare.
• In-dash GPS navigation/AV system with upgraded amplifier and speakers keeps you informed and entertained.
• HID off road lights, 8 cfm air compressor, 9000 pound winch, winch bumper and upgraded suspension equips you for any adventure

Nice! I wonder how much that would set you back.

Slap some 37's on it call it good... Hell even 35's would be killer. I'll see if i can get the money around and buy one before the Midwest Comp....:)

Im not so sure about the dropping a deuce right where I sleep!!! In the same dome even

Wow, I think I want one?! :shock:

Damnit. Barbie would be proud!

If I had room on the Platinum card!:twisted:

I'll guess $40k when all's said and done.

I'm not really a "Jeep guy", but that's right up my alley "thumbsup"
It's nicer than a tent and a sleeping bag, but still not some huge RV.

I was at the Chrysler dealership today (PT Cruiser snapped the timing belt)

Saw the 4 door Rubis there.

What a joke! $33K and 16MPG?!

My Z71 gets better mileage than that and it'll tow a trailer.

:lol:

My buddy Scott at Expeditions West just took one of these thru the Rubicon, and it did very well.

Bender took a stock 4 door Rubi through Hell's Revenge....with a canoe strapped on top.

Of course it wasn't his. :lol:

Estimated Price of 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon $33,000
EarthRoamer Camper & Jeep Modifications $77,000


So, about $110,000....I think I'll stick with the '95 YJ 4 banger I've got..

That EarthRoamer is ~$150k. There was one at the Easter Jeep Safari and thats what the rep said.

Ooops, I forgot the extra $100k...

slap some 37's on it and call it home...

Can you imagine how top heavy it is?

id rather have a bkazer chatlet http://www.blazerchalet.com/photos.html

as long as you can get it without the decals, that would be cool.

They are mostly BTO so customer chooses paint and options. They have them on Dodge trucks too. The Jeep thing is newer than the original roamer. I live really close to the factory, they always have a model out front parked on the rocks... Pretty cool, but the cost makes me cringe.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I would still like to see a R/C version of one...<o:p></o:p>

No joke!

My 97TJ and a 4 person Kelty suits me just fine!

Thats the coolest RV ever. If there was a way to get a power wheelchair in there I'd get on the waiting list today.
