Ever want to get away? I’m talking about getting so far away that there are no roads, no hotels, no restaurants and no people. As a self admitted car nut, I’d like a cool vehicle to help me accomplish that goal.
Well EarthRoamer has created such a vehicle. It is called the EarthRoamer XV-JP and it is built on the trail-rated Jeep Wranger. They start with a a top-of-the-line Jeep Wranger Unlimited Rubicon and convert it into a mobile pop-up camper. It is powered by a 3.8 liter V6 with 202hp and 237lb-ft of torque. That is engine that comes with every Rubicon Jeep.

This is a very well engineered camper/Jeep that can take you anywhere. The only negative is its 6 figure price tag, so you would need make sure you would be using what makes the EarthRoamer special to justify the cost of admission.
