EarthRoamer XV-JP combines Jeep's legendary off road capability with innovative EarthRoamer design to create an Xpedition Vehicle (XV) with unprecedented capability. Now you can go anywhere a Jeep will go and have all of the comforts of home when you get there including: an inside toilet and shower, queen size bed and a refrigerator freezer.

The EarthRoamer XV-JP provides everything needed for extended camping in remote locations. Built on the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4WD Unlimited platform with electric front and rear locking differentials and electric sway bar disconnect, the XV-JP provides trail performance that is unmatched by any traditional RV. The EarthRoamer XV-JP will carry two people over the tightest and toughest trails and provide a comfortable camping experience once you reach your destination.

Forget about setting up complicated tents in the rain and sleeping on the cold, hard ground. The easy to deploy XV-JP LoftopTM provides a comfortable bedroom-with-a-view – complete with a forced air furnace to keep you warm and electric fan to keep you cool. With the solar powered fridge you will be enjoying fresh foods frozen deserts and cold beverages instead of enduring granola and freeze dried meals. Ready access to a hot shower and toilet turns remote camping trips into an enjoyable experience instead of an endurance effort.

With an EarthRoamer XV-JP you can forget about running out of ice, searching for drinking water, and enduring the elements. With an 80-watt solar panel powering the fridge, a 25 gallon fresh water supply and a heated and ventilated weatherproof shelter, you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor passion and less time trying to maintain a livable camp.

The XV-JP is the same length and width as a stock Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and is as comfortable being used as a garageable, daily driver as it is tackling the tough trails. Keep your gear in your XV-JP, keep the fridge stocked and the water tank full, and you're ready to cut out of work early on Friday and head for your adventure.

Move beyond the hassles and limitations of "car camping" and experience the adventure of an EarthRoamer XV-JP. With an EarthRoamer XV-JP you can:

Go where Jeeps go! – travel safely and reliably to remote places, even on tight, narrow Jeep trails.
