Yup. It is a risk and it sucks. But still fun to get out there! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

We were so lucky. If we had been far up a trail or on the connector between 101 and the number 1 on the coast, the tow or repair would have been so much more challenging and expensive!

It was used 2016 so no warranty left. It only had 20,000 miles but was outside the timeframe for warranty. It is a risk of buying used.

@EarthRoamingChronicles well it's certainly a nice rig. Seems a shame the turbo has already failed. Hopefully the new turbo will have some kind of warranty. Good luck, stay safe

King Shocks with air bags. We are hoping to go to Tuk and Alaska this coming summer. We are very excited. We can’t decide if we are going to tow our Jeep or not. You will see in upcoming episodes that we take our Jeep south and use it quite a bit exploring the California and Arizona deserts. Do you have thoughts about taking it north?

@@EarthRoamingChronicles i prefer not towing anything , never have . I've done gemini's bridge trail in Utah in my truck , don't need a jeep. I've done a lot of baja , don't need a jeep . 5th yr F/T , works for me. 🙏~peace~

@ Awesome, thanks. We initially thought we wouldn’t. Makes life easier without it in many ways. But the ER is big. We have found the Jeep fun for going a bit further down some trails. But I think there is enough wilderness up north that you really don’t need to go far off the road to find it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@titicolon10 ha. Thanks!😀

Yes, thank you very much for your comments. Our definition of “shake down” might be different than yours. We’ve just purchased the rig and we were trying to learn how everything worked while travelling. Sorry if that wasnt what you expected. Having said that, we’re currently working on a more detailed breakdown of the systems but to be honest, we’re far from experts on the topic. EarthRoamer has many vids that might provide you with more technical information. Sorry to disappoint.

@ please don’t be sorry as you did ask for feedback on how to make the content more meaningful. You have a beautiful rig and we all want to see more of it, its functionality and how you use the different systems on board. I look forward to seeing more from you.

We agree! Thanks.

@@utahboy17 we love Utah. We’ve been there a couple of times with our Motorhome. Can’t wait to get there with the EarthRoamer to get on some trails. Thanks for commenting!

Yes, understood. That was the reason for rushing through the Pacific Northwest and into California. We’re currently in AZ camping in the desert.

Thank You. They are a big part of our lives. It gets crowded indoors sometimes, but we wouldn’t have in any other way. This lifestyle lets us travel with them.

We head south for the winter (California and Arizona) to hang out in the desert. You will see how in handles in sand and canyons. We take many of the trails that our favorite overlander channels take.

I think you would be surprised.

@@gmpromo depends on your definition of shakedown. For us it was. It was a 2 week trip from Vancouver to Calgary and back to see where we could take the rig into the wilderness, to see how it handled and to learn the systems ourselves. We are currently on a 5 month trip. Future episodes will cover interior, exterior and how we live in it. We would run out of material pretty quickly if we just covered all systems right away. We have received some great feedback and suggestions, which we hope to cover in upcoming episodes. We appreciate you watching and taking the time to provide feedback. Thank you!

Thanks!

The puddles were deeper than they appear on camera and some of the hills were pretty steep. Plus, it was our first trip in it so we were trying things out. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Also, your family saloon doesn’t weigh 20,000 lbs nor does it include a complete house.

@@AndrewHammans importing was a process. It had to be a model that was between 2009-2017 per ER’s registration with Canada’s Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV). We did get ER plates, glasses, knives and pots. More to come in upcoming videos.

@@AndrewHammans thank you so much for subscribing and commenting. We spent a lot of time weighing the different options and settled on ER mostly because of the quality of the interior. We did look at the Storyteller too. We also had a price range in mind so it needed to be used. We liked the preroamed rigs and the fact that ER inspected them first. We will provide more details in future episodes.

Thank you so much! We just started our channel so we are still trying to figure out what people might like to see. Maybe we’ll cross paths one day. That would be fun.

Well that’s ironic because we are just about to start putting a “breakdown” video together. Our turbo blew on the freeway in Southern California.

Yikes that's an 8 hour job even when it's possible to remove the cab. Hopefully you were close to a place to stay.

@@EarthRoamingAdventures it was 10 hours. They couldn’t get the cab off. We died on the side of the highway on a Friday afternoon. They couldn’t even get parts until late Monday. Fun times!

It's always a Friday with a holiday weekend thrown in for good measure

@@Andrew-xv2eg thank you so much for your comments. Yes, we do have a drone and will be using some of that footage in future episodes. We may buy a 360 camera as well. Great idea. Although we could both use the exercise. It is a bit tight at times with the three dogs. We had the back seats deleted so that they can sleep in the cab. We encourage the greyhound to sleep there as she can take up a lot of space. But we make it work.

Yes it is a bit but thats the way Earthroamer designs them.

@@heinerschumann7866 thanks.

@@claudiosakaeshigemi6889 thank you so much. We are still trying to figure out what people might like to see. The feedback is appreciated.

@@touristiqueducanada346 do you think it would be wide enough for the EarthRoamer? We are still trying to figure out how to find good trails without getting ourselves into trouble. Future episodes may show us getting in over our heads.

@ it is wider than the gray creek pass. Very beautiful valley when you get to the Bull River, it is best done from the Kooteney Park downwards as you’ll be driving downhill most of it.

@@touristiqueducanada346 thank you. We will be driving through that area again in late spring so we will have to check it out.

@@davidmckee1277 apparently this is a problem with the 6.7 ltr engines. I’m told that 230ish is ok but I’m very uncomfortable with it. The additional issue is that the rig is 20,000 lbs. we added an air to oil cooler and replaced the engine coolant to oil cooler with a larger HP unit. Helped but still hasn’t solved it yet. I think I need another air cooler. Thanks for the question.

@@davidmckee1277 I have a f550and when that happened it was my clutch fan that was dying. It died and left me on the side of the road. 335 bucks to change it out.

@@AmericaBound thanks! We’re very new at this.

Thank you!

@@kojotkjj8614 thanks for the comment. We planed to do a full “tour” of the rig if in another video if viewers seemed interested.

Awesome thank you!

@@guidok3762 we hope to. You haven’t seen anything yet.

love that you started your channel. I am building a Wanderbox and will be out there in a few months. I looked at ER and the Hilt too m

Possibly speak on what options you could do without? How the air ride system holds up under flex? Any issues with the camera security systems? Love what you are doing!!!

@ great questions. We’ll be doing internal and external episodes in future videos. We will see if we can include your questions. We don’t have the security system. That would be nice. The quiet ride dishes setup takes up a lot of space, so we are a bit unsure how we feel about them. There would be a lot of noise if we didn’t have them though. Keep watching! We have an interesting episode coming up.

@@davidmckee1277 we use OnX Offroad to find the trails and iOverlander to find camp spots. On Grey Creek Pass we had to just pull off the road and camp. It was getting too dark to continue. Also, it is still an active forestry road so we needed to make sure we were tucked away a bit. We really should have had radios to call out our location. We just aren’t sure which to get yet. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@charlesayers5387 no special licence required as it doesn’t have air-brakes. But it could use them.

@@ethanmead1515 good idea. We weren’t sure people were interested.

@@Royalbliss206 when she wants to, she can still go.
