Waiting in Billings, Montana for the EarthRoamer. The trailer hauling the Roamer had a flat tire so it will arrive first thing in the morning.
Thought you might like to see the beast from the front.

     Built on a Ford F550 truck chassis
     41 inch Continental MPT 81 tires
     Hutchinson double beadlock rims
     Weighs 17,000 pounds
     11.5 feet tall
     27.5 feet long
     Communications: 3G/4G/4GLTE cellular voice and data, UHF/VHF/Ham radio,  CB radio, Satellite phone
     Entertainment canter:  HD Satellite TV, Bose surround sound stereo

     All solar (panels on roof)
     4 AGM batteries (160 pounds apiece)

We're going to be "full-timers"--this will be our only home for the next few years!!! We plan to cover the US and Canada and then...who knows? This vehicle has been driven around the world.
If we're roamin' through your neighborhood, we'll stop by and say "Hi."
