[@stauderfan9251]

Very nice! Thanks for the tour, looked coooold there... safe travels!

[@plutobeliever]

lol...beautiful...the 1%trs must really like offroading...thanks Pippi...it's always nice to dream...

[@BlaneysChannel]

Yea,when the guy said 525G's did you all hear that moment of silence? That look on Pippi's face,I bet she had to go change her underwear after the interview. Funny.

[@PippiPeterson]

Solo Roamin' lol

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+Solo Roamin' Me too - I believe I shat myself!!!!!!!! $525,000 for a vehicle that you can live in - is a bit on the high side!!!!!!! I'd rather buy a $525,000 ranch in Colorado - and that ain't gonna be worth $400,000 two days after I buy it. This truck - probably so - if that much!!!!!! I actually heard "How much" and he said $525,000 and I blacked out and hit my head - what happened next????

[@Charles77598]

Wow! He was a talker....I am with Harvey, he needs to lay off the caffine! Nice vehicle! Would love to have one but way past my price range! Great interview!

[@PippiPeterson]

Charles R Thanks!

[@jawjadancr]

good interview PP hey im pp too

[@gregkirby9059]

i'll buy that for a dollar!

[@tx2sturgis]

Yeah she almost choked.... ;-)

[@harveystrauss8476]

Hey Pip, Man that guy needs to lay off the coffee! Great vid only 500k lets get two.

[@JoeFeser]

Harvey Strauss Yeah the newer ones are 700-900k. 500k is so 2013 when you are starting up.

[@JoeFeser]

***** What does icu3 mean?

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+Joe Feser I means when you hear the price of this rig - you'll wake up in an ICU (Inner Coronary Unit) - for the next 3 days - cause your heart will jump out of your chest!!!!!! DAMN - too bad they don't come in yellow - I like yellow - so I'll just have to stay in my old 5th wheel - which is yellow!!!!!!! Did I mention I liked yellow? Which reminds me of the ICU unit in Colorado that was named after Olympic skier Peekaboo Street - it is actually called the "Peekaboo ICU"!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+Joe Feser Picky - picky picky!!!!!! A buck here a buck there!!! Hi, I work for the gubment!!!!!!!

[@leoinswlondon]

Who on earth would pay this sh***t money?

[@Camperhollow]

Leo Crow Be nice, there are filthy rich people out there who buy this stuff who's heaven is in this world. LOL

[@jamesbond5592]

Leo Crow John Mayer bought one.

[@leoinswlondon]

Camper Hollow I believe you are right. If I had the cash, would never do it.

[@sudeshsingh9706]

Leo Crow This is pocket change for many who would use this three days a year and fly back in there jet to their 150 ft yacht :-)

[@jimjim]

+Sudesh Singh This is the type of vehicle lion killers would use.

[@glpeter51]

Isn't he from the movie American Graffiti ...? LOL Cool Rig....Way to much money.....

[@paulwicklund1052]

I`d rather get an Artic Fox or Lance truck camper for under $50,000.

[@brandonhalcyon6984]

they wont hold up like this will. Truck campers like that arnt made for trails. The slide outs arent either. They are made for nice flat campgrounds

[@mrfrogg46able]

you will never get a truck camper on a truck with a 1000 mile range or with all that solar, never.

[@CarloDimacali]

OMG! That price can get you a very nice 45 footer Class A. I guess he's in a niche market. But I would love to get one for a trip to Alaska, though that's like saying I would love to have a Ferrari. Nice to dream about it, but totally unreachable for mortals like me.

[@aploquillanojr]

525G's...Wow!...Buy a house, Toyota Tundra with an XP camper....This is way overpriced! Sell this in Saudi Arabia where the oil kings are this will totally be a hit there and how they buy exotic cars there is nothing.....and you can use solar there all day long!

[@Camperhollow]

Hey Pippi. You're doing a great job on your videos but if you don't mind me offering some friendly observations I'd like to add something. Your microphone picks up extremely well and I noticed in your videos that you put it very close to the person who is speaking even though you don't actually have to. If you look at the beginning of the video in the dialogue you are engaged in you are moving the mic back and forth a lot. If you simply held it in one place about half way between you would pick up both your voice and your guest with no problem. Hope that helps. :) By the way, tell your friend that is an amazing rig. The reason I say that is not only because it is the nicest I have seen, it is well built and well designed with off road in mind. If I had the money I'd be looking them up and possibly ordering one! Only half a mil? Let me go back in my sock drawer and see if I have that tucked away. :)

[@TommyboyGTP]

For that price it better make love to me every night LOL

[@azimuth361]

Looks like someone made coffee out of Red Bull. Then added crushed Smarties. And I've found outdoor televisions to be useless. You can't see them well in bright sunlight and at night they attract bugs.

[@PippiPeterson]

azimuth361 Great feedback on the outdoor TVs, thanks

[@azimuth361]

Pippi Peterson No worries. Cheers!

[@RVFreeDa]

At such a good price too! lol

[@LivingFree]

$525 thousand? L-O-L where do they come off pricing it so high? Just get a 4 wheel drive truck, put some all terrains on it, a camper and solar panels! You'd pretty much have the same thing for less than half that. People who pay that are stupid. Wow.

[@diverdan551]

I would have to say,that is one ultimate,bug out, vehicle for a half million......... :-) Wonder if it is durable enough to keep zombies out? LOL

[@Oldtimecarpenter]

I'll bet at that price their selling like hotcakes, and it includes a wine rack and coffee maker! Pippi, I think that poor salesman was scared of you because he jabbering his jaws awful quickly. It really was good entertainment!!! Stay cheerful. : )

[@azimuth361]

Peter Stanhope They actually ARE selling well. There is an 18-month waiting list.

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+azimuth361 Get yer bridge - right here - made in Brooklyn - here we go - Brooklyn Bridges - special today - 2 for the price of 1!!!!!!!!!!!

[@charliestealth4238]

525k wow i am a bit short this week,can i borrow 524,900 ?

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

It's just $525000. I think I'll be able to afford that when I'm retired in like 45 years. Ha-ha. That is still pretty cool though. 4x4 rv. Great video Pippi!!!

[@DavidSmith-bt6qe]

I am glad there are some people with that kind of money to spend on an off road RV but I don't believe that is how I would spend my life's savings. Thanks for showing us around that rig. I was surprised it did not have any propane for heating and cooking.

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+David Smith Instead of propane - it comes with automatic reservations at the local Hitlon - the presidential suite - of course!!! I mean really - if you can afford this - when go cheap on dinner????????

[@Idahoprepper71]

500k plus on a Ford chassis. NO THANKS!

[@CoryFarrar]

AMEN... hahaha

[@Idahoprepper71]

+soaringtractor, Dodge, Chevy!

[@Idahoprepper71]

+soaringtractor, I OWN A 2015 DODGE 5500 4X4 FLATBED!

[@RealFableFox]

Cool video. I loves Earth Roamer videos.

[@ervaughn1977]

ok...60,000 for truck, 60,000 for upgrades, 60,000 for camper and 60,000 for hours worked...all high estimates...still only $240,000....where is the other $285,000 going????

[@mikesmith5375]

+ERV77 PROFIT!

[@memberofthetribe1]

+ERV77 Not to be a dick, but I can assure you that the truck ALONE is almost $100k. Look at the company's videos. They completely redesign and upgrade all mechanicals and chassis. While there is a fair amount of profit in this rig, I think it is still a pretty good value. Considering that it can take you to places very few campers can, it seems to balance itself out. Just my opinion though.

[@MichaelMarko]

@@mikesmith5375 hahahahahahahaha!!!

[@jwwm2]

I'll bet I could negotiate the price to $497,997.03.

[@PippiPeterson]

John Strabismus I heard him tell someone else they start in the 300s.

[@jwwm2]

Pippi Peterson In that case he was being stupid to tell you a higher price. I don't think he understands the concept of advertising very well.

[@CallsignVega]

John Strabismus He quoted the price of the model that they were showing. Not sure how that is stupid.

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+John Strabismus Hell - he'd probably go down to $495,995 - but you ain't gettin' no damn coffee maker!!!!!!!!

[@rvertv]

good video

[@PippiPeterson]

RVerTV Thanks

[@Apollo9733us]

Its an expensive rig, but its designed for off road extended living. I really like these rigs, the only thing I would change is put in a composting toilet. It has a 1000 mile range and storage for several large 10 and 20 gallon fuel cans with a lot of room to spare. The outside TV is rather pointless, but the electronics is all marine grade which is a huge plus here. Enough solar and battery storage that propane is not needed at all. Option for another freezer, then on back is a whole other cooking setup for outdoor cooking and tons of more storage. You could disappear for a very long time in this rig and not think twice. Just have to watch your water, but it still has 100 gallons of water and if your near a water source you could filter and fill your tank. With the composting toilet, you would only have to worry about grey water which you could dump pretty much anywhere. This truly is the ideal rig, but like I said, it isn't cheap, but talk about a bug out vehicle, this is the ideal vehicle!!! Only thing I would add is hardening of the electronics and engine. A Faraday cage built into the shell which would be very easy to do from being built from scratch. AT the price they are selling this for, might as well have it all!!

[@brandonhalcyon6984]

i doubt it will fit in a container rose, The high cube containers are only 9.5 feet tall and this is an 11 foot tall rig

[@CallsignVega]

$525K for a high end truck camper? Obviously just targeting the super rich looking to throw money around. Has to be some sort of record, like $6,000 per square foot of living space. ;)

[@sheilad1837]

Same tour of the same vehicle, the first video i watched it was 250,000, second video 475,000 now this time he quoted price as 525,000.... so which one is it lol

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

An so inexpensive lol .

[@expatriateprepper]

I'll stick to my Studebaker rv. Thanks for the look-see Pippi.

[@PippiPeterson]

Ken Anderson You're welcome, that's what I did it for :)

[@expatriateprepper]

Pippi, did you teach English in Thailand? I live in Thailand.

[@PippiPeterson]

Ken Anderson Nope but it sounds wonderful. I'd love to get there someday.

[@expatriateprepper]

Well, if you do I am sure you will find your shade of blue here. The dollar is getting stronger now. It is a good time to go to the "Land of Smiles" for us Americans ;)

[@billkenneke8249]

After hearing the price I thought you were gonna say "Well. I'll just pop over to a cash machine ..." :-)

[@xtraw2452]

Over half a million for something you can build (with skill) for under 70,000😂😂😂😂😂(not including truck) 7k for a conventional 32inch tv get real

[@leoinswlondon]

Guys, anyone would be able to send me some links on the type of insulation that this people are using in this RV. On another note, I think his point on using the Air Con for many hours on the battery bank is non sense. Am I right?

[@PippiPeterson]

Leo Crow It was a very impressive affirmation

[@TwothingsIneed]

hey said two layers of fiber glasses and a layer of some time of wood i think. Fiberglass is a poor conductor of heat so not too bad.

[@barrydallmann3692]

You are not right.

[@myreality7817]

Only RV with solar? What a sales man? Talk about exaggeration. Just about every modern RV and especially expedition vehicles have solar panels.

[@BlitzGeist]

lolz @ the price! Go to their website. 7k for a 32 inch LED HDTV on Advanced 4-Position TV Mount. $500 for a Keurig Coffee Maker. Get real.

[@WizzRacing]

This is not an RV but an off road vehicle that happens to look like and RV. As that is what you are paying for. As I don't know to many RV's that can handle going off road and remain in working order very long. So $500k is close to what it's worth. As the base price for an expensive off road vehicle starts at $100K' Not to mention its totally run off solar.

[@longrider50]

It's amazing what the RV industry is producing these days. Won't be going off road anytime soon, but for the adventurous types, this could be the vehicle for them.

[@dodger5520]

been following ER for a while now. ill check the 2018 model then possibly ill get 1. tbh its highquality and luxury and the ideas they put on it its really simple and perfect. no one comes close to it on this type.. dont wanna be an a$$ but you get what you pay. its luxury offroad. if your cheap or cant affort it.get an artic fox typical class rig. if you want best , good looks and drive around with a statement this is the one. its like when a B2 bomber does a slow flyover, its a wow factor.. the truck alone is almost 100k yes for sure. but lots of customized stuff. and they built it what u want. the labor work put on to these are something else. and yes the price of it almost stay the same even if its already been used.. coz so few has it and ill say again again "the quality". stop complaining coz its expensive i know how you feel . at 1st i was , wow that lots of money. but i check why its so expensive and i check the company how they make it i was impressed .. so dont compare the quality and size of those truck campers coz its on the different level. the only problem on this is the storage. if 2people its perfect. 3 or more idk. ill go offgrid for weeks with these. ill tow tons of good food and water coz it can tow 12,000 pounds lolx

[@2needey1]

It's nice but 500k is just stupid. One kitchen burner, the outside kitchen option and dry shower are extra. I wouldn't depend only on solar, they want to stay green but you may have to start the vehicle and burn diesel? Propane burns pretty clean so..

[@Desertfox92308]

It's cool, but half a million cool? No. They should have put it on one of those Austrian military vehicle chassis...I think it's called a Steyr?

[@n2o4me]

The focal point of this rv is being environmentally conscious , Not many people with that kind of money earn their living with a small earth footprint . To me , this is another toy for the rich to say hey look at what I'm doing to benefit our planet , good review though Pippi .

[@mazdarx7887]

At minus16 you turned it on and brought it up t0 75 degrees. Then turned it off and it stayed at 75 degrees all day. impossible , you would need alt least r100 to do that , even then you would still loose a couple degrees

[@myreality7817]

Pippi. Do you have a sister called Hannah? You are the spitting image of a girl I know from Oregon. She has to be your twin!

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

SLOW d o w n .. let us see it! Camera man was trying to pan scenes/items as fast as that guy talked! LOL Tons of out of focus work - but the camper was great!

[@johnpothews9771]

Alot of people complain about the price.With all that this truck has plus the fact that the factory customizes them according to what the buyer wants a half a mill can either accomidate a wealthy client or a couple semi retired who have sold their home and plan to live on the road.I would think this truck would have a life expectancy of about 20 years depending on how its cared for.I also heard there is a 1 year backlog on orders so this rv is gaining some popularity.I want one sooo bad that I can taste it but its a dream for now.

[@dandubay7662]

Wow, I was thinking maybe 100 to 150 thousand... Ill bet you wont see many of those here in the states...

[@Robert-nx4pe]

Boyce equiptment sells you a duce n a half for ten grand. much better off road ability, build your own camper on it!😁

[@G_Ellis606]

I think she is going to buy one! She has 500K plus to burn and can venture out to her local RV park.

[@indman101]

Great interview that pretty smile never gets old but when I heard the price it was also out of my price range still waiting on my lottery numbers to hit maybe then.

[@jimiharper50]

if I could afford that rig. Being green wouldn't be my i $sue.

[@NoProGoPronto]

Only half a million bucks? They must be running a special just for your viewers. LOL! Just a little out of my price range. Do they offer a $10,000 version?

[@Camperhollow]

NoProGoPronto I'd suggest you try and knock them down to about $470,000.00 I bet they could do it. :)

[@jonathanhansen3709]

She forgot to ask what kind of mileage it gets. But if you can shell out $525K for something like that, who cares? Filling it up would be pocket change for someone like that.

[@Camperhollow]

Jonathan Hansen 11 mpg. It has dual tanks, one 50 gallon that is added and a standard 40 gallon tank. They empty simultaneously and will get you down the road about 1,000 miles.

[@mazdarx7887]

Camper Hollow 11mpg and thats the little US gallon ,, Wow that's ECO friendly, hehehe in 1940

[@kayakchrispy]

Almost shit your pants when he said 500,000$. Haha

[@clintteague4029]

It cost more than my house. I will stick with my Fifth Wheel.

[@MtDew167]

Poor Pipi at the 2 minute mark I think she realized what the heck lol

[@robinhood7874]

WOW A STUNNER! TRUCK ISN'T BAD EITHER ;)

[@AlmightyTod]

A bit out Orly price range but one can dream.

[@TheWoodsOnline]

If we only had the money. lol

[@chuckyd317]

Dude was afraid to say the price!! Bahahaha

[@justwantobeready]

Gosh thats cheep. I will buy 2.

[@0HARE]

Thanks for sharing, Pipi. This was very interesting. It's a great rig for those who can afford it. I found the camera work a bit off-putting. It was hard to take it all in, and I found myself wishing your camera man would back up or zoom out so we could get a sense of the whole rig. Also, in the interior shots, a wider angle would have helped to see it better. You were professional and charming throughout, as usual, even when you had to interrupt his fast, non-stop talking! All the Best to you, and Happy Camping!

[@PippiPeterson]

Allen Hare Thanks Allen, yeah, not the best video. This was the first of the day and I hadn't worked all the kinks out yet.

[@NGC6144]

Where are these people that they're wearing winter garb? It's summer and it's hot just about everywhere else.

[@leoinswlondon]

I believe that is a video she did back in winter and just uploaded now.

[@PippiPeterson]

[@eddiegiles112]

Waaaay too overpriced for wood walls.

[@MichaelSwan66]

that thing is way cool but way out of my price range lol thanks for the tour of it Pippi

[@Camperhollow]

MichaelSwan66 Yeah, me too. I thought maybe 70 thou, but when the price was revealed I thought, nope, won't happen for me in 10 life times. LOL

[@jeffschwartz7923]

+Camper Hollow NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!! You could win the lottery and buy it - just like everybody else has to!!!!!!!

[@Camperhollow]

Jeff Schwartz Actually I can't win the lottery since I don't gamble. So that leaves me out. And personally I don't care to have anything so expensive. I am quite happy in a tent.

[@demartinirvsales]

Love the graphics on the exterior!

[@mikedempsey7987]

probably youve mentioned before....but who is the gal there with you? At 1st I thought it was a reflection of YOU in the mirror LOL

[@grayeagleswolves]

Loved this thank you Pippi

[@chriswildoner]

I love all your videos, but this guy is irritating! Not sure what it is about him but I had to stop watching after 2 minutes. Looking forward to your next video.

[@PippiPeterson]

Chris Wildoner Thanks Chris, stay tuned. I've got better ones coming! :)

[@deltarat64]

Balsa??? Oh no, ask any sailor what they think about Balsa Core fiberglass. You better make sure over the life of the rig that you never get a water leak in any of the penetrations in the body.
