And the cost is.....
This website price is two years old, but still hefly
Bruder launched the EXP-6 in Australia this month, where it starts at AU$105,000. The first units will be delivered next month. Availability won't be
limited to Australia as Bruder has its sights on the global market. In the US, the EXP-6 prices in at US$68,000. Bruder estimates a $3,000 US shipping
cost and plans to set up a more formal distribution network by early 2017.

hello fellow 4WD Action fan!
Trailers sure are a pain in the butt to tow out to some 4x4 spots, but so nice once you get there!
Im a sleep in the back of the truck man, but also quite jealous of my indoor living space brethren when we hit camp

Hey John, where are you getting that price from? I can't find it on their website. They do have prices for the EXP-4, which seems reasonable,
untill you look at the price of the options, AC is 3800 US, heater, 1500, matress 2500 etc, prices will stack up quick

New Atlas has some pretty cool stuff.
For sleeping in the back of your truck:
Kimbo camper
For selling your house and trashing your retirement accounts:
Thor motorhome

I only regret that I have but one house to sell for the sake of a motor home.....because it won't be enough!

Very nice. In Australia, they use the word 'caravan' for travel trailer and I did catch him using it once in this video for offshore sales.
I wonder if a camper version or fifth wheel version will be in the future?
Who remembers the early days of the Turtle Expedition and their fixed up camper units? I think they began with a Land Rover wagon and converted to a
Ford pickup with a fancy, off-road camper on its back?

Yeah, thats 2016 John. apparently they are "victims" of their own sucess. according to email from them I got yesterday, their starting price is
140K Australian, right at 100K US. And thats the base, you add heat, panels, a mattress, AC, washing machine, kitchen - now you are moving
close to 130K. and they do have a waiting list , but they wont tell you how long it is.

Anyone who has pulled a trailer knows how limiting they can be. You just don't go places where you can't turn it around or manuever it. It would be
perfect behind your EarthRoamer to keep you out of all the places I like to go.

Spending that kind of money on a rig that you are going to beat the crap out of on bush roads is crazy. A friend of mine from Europe has a Unimog
that is all done up. He spent just shy of a million US on that thing. I can go pretty much anywhere he can with my used F350 and Bigfoot camper that
set me back $30000 CDN.
My experience is that most people with those fancy pants rigs never do much “ Booney Bashing” because they are worried about scratching it up.

yessir, spent a week last year in Moab bashing my 2wd RV around to all kinds of great back-road camp spots, came in to resupply twice and both times
saw a group full of massive 4x4 Earth Roamers all corraled up at the lameo KOA... typical
