• 2008 XV-LT XV-LT

Our EarthRoamer XV-LT (ER71), affectionately known by our family as Sparkle, may be one of the most well-traveled EarthRoamers in North America. During a year-long adventure, ER71 carried our family through all 49 drivable U.S. states, including Alaska, and we visited 42 National Parks and countless remote backcountry campsites. The journey culminated with an unforgettable drive up the legendary Dalton Highway to Deadhorse, Alaskaone of the most demanding roads in North America.

Built on the renowned Ford F-550 4x4 chassis, the XV-LT combines exceptional off-road capability with the comfort and craftsmanship of a luxury expedition vehicle. Its diesel-powered platform delivers reliable performance and long-range travel capability, while integrated off-grid systemsincluding generous freshwater capacity, solar charging, substantial battery storage, and a fully self-contained living spaceallow for extended adventures far from hookups and crowded campgrounds.
What truly sets the XV-LT apart is its reputation. EarthRoamer vehicles are celebrated for their durability, engineering, and ability to reach places that traditional RVs simply cannot. Whether you're exploring remote national forests, traversing desert backroads, or embarking on a cross-country expedition, this EarthRoamer is built for the journey.

ER71 has been meticulously maintained throughout our ownership. We followed a strict maintenance schedule and addressed issues proactively rather than reactively. Following our cross-country adventure, we invested nearly four months in repairs, refurbishment, and upgrades, including the installation of a brand-new transmission. While the vehicle shows minor signs of normal use, its overall condition consistently surprises people who learn it is nearly two decades olda testament to the quality and durability of EarthRoamer construction.

If you're looking for a vehicle that can take you virtually anywhere without sacrificing comfort, ER71 is ready for its next chapter. For buyers seeking a platform that offers substantially greater capability, durability, and self-sufficiency than a modern adventure van often at a comparable price point, this EarthRoamer XV-LT represents an exceptional opportunity.
