If you are just wanting a video showing scenery with background music, you accomplished that goal. However, what viewers want with these types of videos, especially given the title, is much more information about the camper. What worked and what didn’t? How did you use the different systems on the camper? Those type of things is what the viewer wants to see. Your video quality is very good. Good luck on future videos.
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.
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.
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.
@@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!
@@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.
Great film, beautiful landscapes. But give us some information about how the ER170 works, what is the fuel consumption, how and where do you fill up with water and how do you live and sleep in it
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.
Thank you for the videos on your travels. It's nice to see someone videoing the Earthroamer in action. I've only seen one other channel of someone going on far excursions off the beaten path. I look forward to new adventures. I think someone is going to get a lot of exercise following behind or ahead... You might want to get a 360 camera or a drone for the future. How is the space with the 3 dogs?
@@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.
@@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!
Awesome video looking forward to seeing your further videos

Have a look at our previous videos. Please comment so we can learn and grow so we can make improvements for future videos.
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

Looking good guys

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.

It's always a Friday with a holiday weekend thrown in for good measure
In your previous video you had a loss of power and overheating issue, did you figure out what the issue was?

@@kojotkjj8614 thanks for the comment. We planed to do a full “tour” of the rig if in another video if viewers seemed interested.
I look forward to seeing the upcoming episodes. I like the ER but I am concerned that it is not capable of handling the Canadian West.

I think you would be surprised.

Yeesh that thing is way too top heavy!
Yes it is a bit but thats the way Earthroamer designs them.
Not to be a buzz kill but I thought this was a shakedown but there was no information about the camper at all. Just a whole lot of trees and music
