Expensivo! ($200K+). Sucky gas mileage. But what a dream machine for off-road. In place of a home?
“An EarthRoamer XV-LT provides an 85 gallon water supply, a 90 gallon fuel supply (range approximately 1000 miles) and plenty of storage space for food and gear. Four wheel drive, a turbo-diesel engine, high output lighting, front and rear winches and off-road tires with military bead-lock wheels will ensure that you get to your destination. Once you arrive safely, 510 watts of solar power and a 510 amp-hour battery bank will provide power for all necessary systems. Sleeping facilities, a galley and bathroom with toilet and shower provide for the necessities of life.” https://www.earthroamer.com/

Hi Lloyd,
You have always been in front with everything. This blog proves it. You are incredible.
While I'm still doing editing, persuading authors to write books they are not too keen about writing. But publishing is still fun and life is not too bad.
Lots of greetings from Dorte Ipsen

About as far from hand built & sustainable as you can get.
