Winter Camping in the $1.1 Million EarthRoamer SX

Mar 15, 2024
How epic is this, we are currently in the Rocky Mountains in central Colorado and tonight we are going

winter

camping

in the Earth RoR SX which sells for over $1

million

. We made our first video with Earth RoR in 2021 and luckily this has been kind. It has become an annual tradition the first year we were in Boulder Colorado and their LTI model is loved by everyone who passes by and last year we went on an epic adventure in Moab in the first SX ever, which was the scariest thing gave me until now. I'm sure the LTI is the smallest and the SX is the monster.

This year we're back at the SX, but yesterday in a completely different setting we met up with Zach and Ryan from the RoR land team and spent the afternoon trying to find the perfect spot to camp no way a moose just crossed the road right in front of us there's two of them oh they're so cute well there's another one there's three no way as it turns out there are a lot of back roads here in Colorado they actually closed in the

winter

so it took us a little while to find a spot. This bridge is thin, what does that say that you break it?

But now it's not a good job, since it was getting dark. Once it was completely dark we found the perfect spot to camp I think that's the campground this is going to be nice we are surrounded by the majestic mountains we are parked right next to a beautiful stream and this will be our home for the next few 36 hours so before you go out and explore this beautiful nature let us show you our new home yeah this is going to be amazing life is good I'm not kidding 24 hours ago I was waking up in a snow cave on the side of a mountain we built with our hands and Then I slept in, so needless to say, last night was a little cozier.

We always love adventures on Earth, RoR, but I'm so grateful for all the little luxuries. Today is going to be a good day, so last year when we were. in Moab we were in the blue sx1 which means it was the first SX ever built and at the time it was the only one that existed today we are in the SX4 so these are very similar vehicles but in case you missed last year's video, We'll give you a quick overview of the exterior and interior of this one, starting from the front and working our way back.
winter camping in the 1 1 million earthroamer sx
The cool factor of the front of the Earth RoR is right through the roof and the light bar doesn't just look cool. but whether you want a 180° view at night in the desert or you're driving through the snow in the mountains trying to find the perfect spot, this thing looks like the sun, even the color is yellow and last night it was magnifying the snow. We were driving it was cool, also on the front we have a 16,500lb winch that we used to pull a 4Runner out of a ditch in a canyon last year and if I'm honest I'm hoping one of these gets stuck this year so we can try it in the snow, well, working our way back, we have good year military grade tires, these are rated up to 82 mph, so you can take these things on four wheels across the countryside or you can go to 80M per hour on the highway, which is surprising, it's a pretty tall truck to climb on and one thing I really appreciated last night was this little step that opens up as you come out of the RoR of the ground, so you really have got two steps to climb this well.
I could have sworn the number was on the side. I think it's just a Chevy 650. Just confirming, thanks, it's a Chevy 6500. Zach and Ryan are sticking with the red LTI, not yet. Trust us to pull one of these out on our own, but one day you'll have two steps to get into the cabin, but last night when there was all the snow on the ground and I didn't want to get snow in my boots. go out this door, open the door to the bottom of the RoR land and you can turn around without even stepping in the snow or you can just crawl through the back seat like I did, oh god I just scraped. a backbone between the cabin and the camper we have our air compressor on board if we get stuck in the snow or if we hit very deep snow we can inflate our tires which will give us more traction and then when we get back on the road we will need air them again and we can do it all from the Earth.
Ro, you don't have to go to a gas station and sit there forever, which is probably why it's the most unique and special thing on Earth. RoR is that the camper part is made of carbon fiber, everything is molded to be a super strong structure. Last night we had Zach and Ryan over for dinner and they explained to us that there is actually a military grade rating. and the earth roof cockpit could fall off the back of a military plane and still be in one functional piece, so maybe if we can get this video to a

million

likes, maybe Earth RoR will let us make a video throwing this thing out of a plane, what do you think guys?
This is a shower I've tinkered with many times before. It may be your way to the bottom of the earth. RoR that sound is our heater, our lovely, beautiful, warm heater. I think we can survive, mhm. inside this box we have forgotten how to use it for 3 years. I've shown you this grill, but we've never used it and even though it's freezing outside this afternoon, when we get back, we're going to grill because why don't we have our Max tracks in case we get stuck? A spare tire in case we get a flat tire. We have our cameras and two huge lights.
It was amazing last night to be sitting somewhere warm and cozy having dinner. all the lights on outside and we were watching it snow another 16,500 lb winch in the back this is the Locker step team going to the other side and this year we have some cool stuff here we have our backcountry skiing we're going to do some that later we have our two suitcases we unload everything that's inside you'll see in a minute I discovered something else that I'm very excited about There is a 120 outlet in the garage this is a little complicated but we have heated ski boots so Now we can plug in our boots and charge them here in the back without even having to take them into the luxury interior a couple of years ago.
We winterized our Sprinter van or at least tried and turned our entire shower into a ski storage room. Let's say this is much better than that. The bottom of the Pea funnel froze. I felt it run down my leg. diesel tank number one. diesel tank number two, we have 100 gallons of diesel on board and that's really important in winter environments like this because our solar panels on top are completely covered in snow today, but the amazing thing about the Earth RoR is that it can charge itself with the alternator on the Chevy, so even though we don't get power from the solar panels, we're still completely self-sufficient here, not only are we self-sufficient but it's automatic.
I can't count how many times we have woken up in our Sprinter van in the middle of the night the batteries beep beep beep beep we literally just left the store waking up we have to get up, grab the keys, start the car so the alternator can charge the batteries Earth RoR just spins itself "This is my archenemy. There is still a cassette toilet on earth. RoR. I was told that this toilet is never used. Otherwise, I would be worried that the liquid leaking into my arm right now It wasn't water. I used it before. No, you did." We've been using this on this trip so I'm not going to open it up and I think that's enough for a quick overview of the outside, let's look at this.
I need bigger boots, okay, I'll go up while we're actually at it. getting some sun. I'm going to try to clean the solar panels and save some diesel. I definitely don't think I open the sunroof in this video. Please be careful, you are also sweeping up some snow here. an ice skating rink here is great you can stand on the solar panels even if they are slippery please be careful so when cleaning the solar panels on top which turned out to be a bit dangerous we went from getting 2 amps . of solar power at almost 30 and the alternator charger is even off.
I want popcorn. Sorry to interrupt the land adventure, but our friends at ag1 have given us a good deal for all of you, better than usual, trying to hit all our nutritional bases. Our diet alone while traveling full time can be complicated, to say the least, and that's why we've loved AG wine from the moment we discovered it almost 4 years ago and taken it everywhere, from the North Pole to the depths of the Indonesian jungle. I tried it, those guys loved it because of the way it's good, it's so deeply ingrained in my daily routine that I just don't feel complete without it, in case you haven't heard a serving of ag1, which is just a tablespoon The powder mixed with a little water contains 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole-food ingredients—pretty much anything you've ever heard of that's good for you and more—and it's all wonderful in one serving, plus that it not only supports your energy, intestinal immune system. health and digestion liver function hormonal function brain and neural function the list goes on and on and not to mention it's vegan paleo ketogenic all things in conclusion it couldn't be easier to get so much good stuff into your body in such a short amount of time that Nate and our friend Rick raced to see how fast they could make it and drink it recently, holy cow yeah, pretty fast now to get the best deal.

I'll do a quick overview of the entire interior starting here in the SL spare bedroom/dining room, the best office ever. Look at these 180° views. I love windows. I'm pretty sure this wasn't on the sx1. This is one of the three control panels you have in the ground RoR, so with this you can check. your water levels or your tanks or the temperature or you can turn all the lights on and off. We have a TV hidden here in the ceiling and with the push of a button it just brings Boop down as well for the TV and for work. there's Starlink internet on the roof and we also learned that Starlink actually has a feature that automatically melts snow off the satellite so it continues to work even in a snow storm, so this morning I put the drone over Earth's RoR all the time .
The solar panels were completely covered in snow and there was a little white spot with no snow and that was Starling, like I said, this is also the bonus bedroom, so if you've guessed this table just put the cushions down, come in and you have a California. King in our truck, there are pieces of plywood you have to fiddle with, it's quite a deal to put the table up and down, this table goes up and down with the push of a button, oh yeah, this thing moves too, which is nice, here's the drawer. that everything is stuck right now, maybe because I'm sitting on it.
I bet the cushion is here, it's where we keep a lot of our electronics. Now, welcome to the kitchen, as they say, they say, it's only on the boat could it be on a boat, hey Siri, what's a kitchen? This is what I found. I think it's a mutton ship. I don't even know where to start because kids are my favorites. I love eat. I love cooking. And they have achieved it in the microwave. This is the microwave. something we didn't have in our van and I learned to live without a microwave, but there is one thing I really miss and that is reheating my coffee.
Life is too short for cold brew coffee. We have this beautiful freezer and refrigerator combination. On this side we've used this drawer as our pantry so all our little snacks are in here and then in the next two we've put all our clothes in, they're Dr. Antic and they all fit, now let me. I present to you the most beautiful kitchen in any caravan that has ever existed. I say it every year, but wow, did they nail the plate organization? We don't dare have glass in our van, but we only have glass plates, glass bowls that they've customized.
I built this structure so that nothing moves. If you are in a dirt RoR you better go to cool places on rough roads and they make it so nothing breaks and then the sink is shiny and beautiful but this is very special on this side. waterfiltered, but this side is instant hot water, which is one of those things that doesn't really seem like a big deal until you experience it and then you don't know how you ever lived without it, so I'm pretty sure this wasn't on the sx1, but they have created these custom sink inserts so that it is very functional no matter what you are doing and you have a lot more counter space, which is always a big deal when you are living in a vehicle, even one is big and grand like the Earth and then this big mixing arc that we fill with snow because Zach used to be a bartender and he made us some really fun snow cocktails in the winter, you still have 100% functionality in the Earth RoR, which is not something that many campers can That is, you usually have to turn off the water in certain places or, if you're like us, you have to build a completely different gray water system and bring it inside so it doesn't freeze.
Also on that same trip I had to buy insulated Crocs because the floor of our van was getting really cold, that's actually one of my ideas. or there, if you're looking, I think heated floors would really go to the next level, no They are cold, although they are not even standing, no, you are right, they are not cold, continuing along this side of the kitchen we have the classic Earth. RoR cutlery drawer, each piece has its own perfect slot so nothing moves around and that brings us to our next update. I feel responsible for this because last year we were on the sx1 and unfortunately the moment I started driving over the sand dunes I shot, oh no.
They've installed this nifty little latch so that no matter which way you're on, all your wine stays nice and this is another improvement that we didn't have last year, it just looks like a nice permanent cutting board, but actually, boom, It's an induction cooktop that you can't really put anything on, you want to protect it, so they built this cutting board that somehow sits perfectly still, no matter what you can't move, and you have all this counter space and Finally, this. Definitely one of the highlights is that we have a washer and dryer combo machine, so it's obviously very convenient to not have to drive your million dollar vehicle to a laundry mat on your trip, but here in the winter, like when our socks get wet while walking. snow or if I want a warm jacket or a towel after a shower, I can dry it off a little and leave it all nice and cozy.
I just got CH BTS, I'm just talking about it, this door leads to the bathroom, full length mirror, this one is practically identical to the SX, we have a toilet with this little Nifty bench, if you feel like sitting and hanging out in the bathroom, you can use that sink shower fan which is actually a great touch because you know it's a small space. What are you trying to say? Cara is currently trying to convince us all to do a cold dive in the river behind Earth's RoR, so if we do that, I'll definitely take a hot shower in this thing happening above the gate. we have a control center like there where you can do all the things and then here we have the security cameras that we showed in the past and we had a little fun with that, but the most important thing is the thermostat that we put in last night.
In 70° we stayed nice and warm much better than a snow cave. This is also an improvement over last year. These are truck doors that slide and disappear, so obviously this is a great way to get in and out of the truck. without having to go out if you don't want to, but also imagine how cold your car is or how hot it is in the summer, that's what's happening here when you open this door, suddenly there's a cold breeze coming. Here last but not least, that brings us to the bedroom. I just climbed these, but technically there's a ladder you're supposed to use when it's time to go to bed or if you want to relax, just climb up here. having a nice warm bed once again, much better than the frozen ground.
I don't know if I've mentioned it yet. There is one that is also a California King bed. We have another TV right here if that one is too far away. There is also another control panel so you don't have to get up. Storage USB and USBC wireless charging on both sides. We also have not one, but five windows in the bedroom. I think that's enough for our quick tour. We're going to cook some lunch and then we'll go out and explore keeping it simple by making a salad kit where they put all the dressings and dressings and everything in there for you, but I'm making it a little fancy by toasting it a little bit.
Tempe to put on top of my arch nemesis they somehow figured out how to fit like 20 saucepans stacked into a perfect puzzle to fit in a drawer and every time I can't get them back the way they were and I can't get them back. drawer to close so we're just going to use the top one I know it looks really gross but it's really delicious it's the pepper okay what did you put in there? It's just black pepper, oh my gosh, that's it. The lunch is ready. This is all going to be the weirdest salad ever no, no, no, don't go with your salad, I didn't think it was like a Mexican one, it's like an Asian salad, oh, greetings, lunch is served, it's not that I don't You will love my instant meals in the ice cave. but I think this is a little better, look where we're

camping

.
Oh, I broke my elbow, but it's okay, you can still see the beautiful river. We didn't even know it was there when we got here last night. That's the best part. We woke up and thought: I wish I had more time. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how many layers are you wearing? I think I'm just going to use this. Be bold. It starts cold. Did you forget that we slept in an ice cave? Are you alive? Oh, they're nice and warm from being there, so if you grew up in the mountains you're probably very familiar with these, they're called skins, but being from Tennessee, this is the first year I've gotten the The joy of off-piste skiing, the The way they work is they're sticky on one side and it sticks to the bottom of your skis and then on the other side it's like Soft, if you rub it on One Direction it feels like petting a horse, like you rub it in One Direction. petting a horse One Direction a horse feels soft if you pet a horse the opposite direction feels very rough and by putting them on the bottom of your skis it actually allows you to walk up the mountain although I think I'm super new in this.
Ski touring may be my new favorite hobby: being able to put on skis that allow you to climb a mountain through a snowy forest and then avoid the worst part of any hike, which is the way back, and instead you can spin. towards the most fun part which is skiing back and you end up in places that few people go to, you are avoiding the big crowd on the ski slopes, it is so nice and quiet here is a sign that just reminds us that avalanche danger exists in our backpacks, we both have our Avalanche probe and our shovels that we use to build the snow cave a couple of nights and then we wear a beacon on our chest and I also have a walkie-talkie to call the Earth RoR guys if necessary necessary. to my new favorite hobby that could possibly kill you there are a few times I see Nate smiling this big and he really loves playing in the snow.
I had such high expectations for this. I was looking forward to winter camping on the land. RoR and this lives up to everything I expected it to be hearing how peaceful it is out here all I can hear is my skis against the snow and the birds chirping. Very good, we arrived approximately an hour and a half up. mountain, the snow is starting to move, so it's getting darker a little faster than we expected, but now it's time for the best part, we can rip the ski skins off to Earth's RoR and then take a KCK, my mouth is frozen. now comes the fun part, oh it's so smooth, you who and I thought I was having fun going up, oh my gosh that was the best run of my entire life and we just skied out of our Earth RoR okay Tomorrow we will wake up. before the sun and we're doing it again and don't force it, oh don't overdo it, jump so fast, so fast, it's so fun Earth RoR is officially skiing, now that was the trailhead and we'll be home in 30 seconds.
How epic, so cool, look what I'm about to do with the push of a button. Extend. I'm taking out the awning. How cool is that. And now that I have an awning. I think we are the first. to use this grill, I am very happy right now, well I have been out trying to figure out the grill and the fire, but I have a bonus for dinner, one of our sides is sweet potato fries and this microwave works like a conventional oven and a air fryer, oh you can even grill, man. I love it here, okay.
I don't usually do this, but I'll do my best with the hairy toe sausage, almost everything on earth. RoR has the brand, including the knives, oo baby. Look at that, it's going to be good. I just created my own honey mustard apparently to make honey mustard. You just mix honey and homemade mustard. Mak. Feel very elegant. A little olive oil. Cut some French baguettes in half. Oh, I'm burning everything that is. It's going to be fine, feel like a Mory and a Habachi, wait for the onion, let's eat before it gets cold, because that's happening fast, here you go, sir, thank you very much, the finished product turned out better than if I said so .
I myself am very encouraged today, a good day. I love The Toasted BN, enjoy it, do it all. I didn't think it was possible, but the mountains look even more beautiful today. The top is completely white. All trees are covered. I would just like it to be known that what you are about to witness was my idea. Nate is not forcing me to do this, in fact, it was quite the opposite. Once I convinced him, maybe you got it. To go well, I can't think. about that I just have to go oh no oh it's already on my feet there's no fiber in my body that wants to do this this was all Cara's idea and she does things that I don't want to do all the time so I'm doing it oh no , it's a lot further than I thought it was going to be okay 60 seconds once we get in no yeah oh man oh god oh god she's doing it.
I'm slipping, I'm slipping, oh I can't. feel something that would be worse than Antarctica and the North Pole because you have to go down slowly oh my god it's all worth it for this feeling right now, well the tips of my toes and my fingers feel like they've I've been hit by a truck, woo, turn off the hot shower, I can't, my hand is too frozen, straight to the shower, oh my hands, 100, I can't even turn it on, it's too hot, come here, quick, wow , that was the best shower. my life and I don't think there's any hot water left and I'm sorry, okay, that's what you're here for, why are you doing that?
Thank you all for another epic trip. We are very grateful to the Earth Rer team for trusting us. Take out these huge machines, we had a good time, it's always good to see the trucks in extreme conditions, that's what we build them for, let's do it again soon, that's fine by me, okay, comment below where you want us to take the Earth. gr next has become an annual tradition
