A Killer Doomsday Camper

in autos •  5 years ago  (edited)

Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!

With so many people on Steemit talking about the End coming, the collapse of society, and even a Zombie Apocalypse and the need to plan your escape route...well...I figured I better start looking for an escape vehicle.

I was thrilled to find a company that makes Doomsday campers right over there in Dacono, Colorado. They're called Earth Roamers and here's one of their models, the LTI:

Light but super tough

The entire body is made of carbon fiber so it's much stronger than conventional aluminum camper bodies. It's built on a massive Ford Super Duty chassis.

They're all hand-made to order so you can design your own interior.

Not bad huh?

This thing has a 100 gallon fresh water tank and a 65 gallon gray water tank. It's a diesel with a 95 gallon fuel tank.

It's got solar power too with panels on the roof that generate 1,320 watts of power and a 11,000 watt-hour lithium ion battery pack to run equipment on the inside.

It sleeps four but you also have the couch and over the cab bunk so you could squeeze six in there.

They do make a larger model also, the LTS:

The bad news

The price. They start at $590,000. lol.. What's amazing is that the price isn't stopping anyone. They have an 8 month waiting list! Jason Momoa bought one, I think it fits his personality.

I was really salivating over the LTI until I saw the price. I reckon I'll have to settle for the redneck version:

If you can find a junked earth mover that would work too. If you're headin out into the wilderness you gotta have the height for the zombies and Big Foot. lol.

Amazon what enormous cars. Escape the zombies in luxury!

lol. Exactly galtsund!

Run over the pesky zombies over!

Howdy havtorn! I agree, you'd never even feel them with that last earth mover camper! Thanks for commenting!

Awesome! And the interior is ery impressive. As well as its price, haha.
Must admit that american cars looks very cool

Howdy zirochka! some of them do anyway. lol. We need steem to go to $1,000 and then I'll do a post on mine!

Let's stay positive :)))

I agree. I think the odds are well in favor of Steem doing well. I don't know about steemit but it will probably do well also eventually.

Howdy again zirochka! I was trying to give you a 3 cent vote but I failed the first time so I took the vote off and tried again so if you see a removed vote that's why. It still didn't work so I'll have to make up for it on another comment that you make. lol.

Oh, thank you so much, but don't worry! Besides, I am not sure when it is worth to upvote comments with #newsteem dust threshold

Well, my understanding is that it has to be 3 cents or else it does to dust. I will ask someone to make sure though.

I think you are right. By the way, I saw no downvoyes from you, so I think it worked from the 1st try

Ok good, I hate downvotes, thanfully I don't get very many!

I believe the threshold is .02, but the upvote curve means you'd have to give a .08 vote for it to register .02, maybe even more than .08. I have stopped upvoting comments (which is frowned upon in newsteem like so many other things anyway) and go upvote a post of the commenter's instead.

Oh I see. Yeah that makes sense, thanks for that clarification owasco!

Howdy esteemapp! Thanks so much for the upvote and the excellent platform.

Damn man, one day I work m would love one of those things!!

Which one sir meesterboom? I'm guessing someone from your neck of the woods would choose one of the bottom two? lol.

Lol, I was thinking the first one, the redneck versions don't have the same pizzazz!!

I guess you're right. lol. I love that first one, what a beast! As long as you could get the internet you could cruise around and live and work in that thing. I mean when you aren't having to fool with your present job!

It would be the life indeed!! Dreams!!

And that bigger one would hold the whole family. But they probably start at a million!

Yeah, got to keep it realistic :0D

I like watching YouTube videos about these and super yachts. Hard to say which one would be better for zombie apocalypse survival.

Oh that's a great point sir abitcoinskeptic. The yacht sounds great because you would be away from all the chaos until you had to refuel. I guess you'll have to buy both!

I'm always wondering how one would refuel during a disaster, stopping by a gas station seems dangerous. If it isn't blown up, chances are it's a trap.

Very true sir abitcoinskeptic. If you had the means to buy such a vehicle as the EarthRoamer I would assume you would have something planned out like having your own fuel tanks in a hidden location. Great point though because we know the gas at the stations would be gone in a day.

RE STEEMED!

Howdy Jonboy! Great article on this doomsday RV. This thing is badass! You had me sold until I saw that price too. It sucks only people who have money can afford one of these things. I wonder if they have a hippie version HA HA. Maybe a doomsday Volkswagen Van HA HA.

lol! A doomsday Volkswagon..I'm sure one could be made! Thanks Rainbow Man I love those things too. The prices are just insane though. Thanks for the resteem!

hahahaha! Those redneck campers!

I thought you'd be impressed with the EarthRoamers but you're more impressed by the redneck campers? lol. They ARE pretty innovative. lol.

That seems marvelous but expensive as it should be I guess .

Howdy sir leeart! They are magnificent and have the price to match! Thanks so much for commenting!

That thing looks awesome!

Howdy brianphobos! It's a beast isn't it? I love the concept but the price is obscene! lol.

Yeah, I wouldn't pay that much but it sure would be fun.

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 10/15)

Thanks so much tipu!

Can I pitch my tent near your pop up?

lol! Of course but are you sure you want to be seen with that thing?

That's a good point, but if the world as we know it is ending, I might not be too snobby about how it looks!

Yeah I agree. lol. Who will care? Lets just hope some kind of apocalypse is not coming.

Thanks Melinda!

My pleasure!

Oh yeah baby!!!! I want me one of those monster campers! Yeah! Whoo hoo!!!!!

Yup, gotta settle for Dad's camper truck he gave me.

He's gonna live in style.....

Both are insulated and have solar panel systems

Holy cow! He upgraded! How cool is that? And you get that nice rig. You need a lift kit to get it up out of the way of zombies though. lol.

Thanks and LOL! Hugs!!!

Loved the bicycle on the front of that earth mover!!! haha

lol..an option if the thing breaks down! I thought that was funny too, it looks so tiny on that giant machine.

Hahaha, I love the last two here Sir @janton, but certainly not preparing for doomsday of any kind. I keep my lamp full of oil (faith) and no one knows the day.
Blessings!

In some areas of Africa it is already like a doomsday scenario almost!

Hahaha, but a doomsday camper cannot help, unless they turn it into an amphibious vehicle that can travel on the seas.
Maybe we should look at a floating camper hahaha.
Blessings!

That's a good point sir papilloncharity. A person might want to sail away from the whole continent!

An absolute truth Sir @janton. People are already streaming out of the country.

Oh, they are already leaving if they have the means to? That is really bad for the economy isn't it? I'm sure the ones leaving have some money and those kind are needed to help make the country work.

Story in today's paper; A man is voted in as a new department minister, he employs his whole family and many close friends as department heads at huge salaries. Not one of them has the qualifications for the posts.
Scary isn't it?

Yes it sure is. That's what I've heard about the way the government is run down there and obviously one of the reasons for the incredible incompetency.

Howdy Janton! Long time no see, lol. Well I ad the surgery this week Wednesday, but now I can catch up. I can type with two fingers on my left hand and of course my right is fine.

Anyway, this vehicle is really something and even if I don't believe in doomsday I wouldn't mind to have one. My son in law would have to be really nice to me if I do lol.

Howdy Miss lena! oh so the surgery was a great success, yes? Does it hurt? It has to be sore I think. I love that vehicle too, and big enough that it would fit your daughter, grandkids, and son-in-law, yay! lol.

Howdy Janton! The surgery went well, thank you for asking! I have Tylenol 3 for the pain, but it makes me sleepy so I can take only one before I go to sleep. At day time I just take extra strength Advil.

And yes, that vehicle would be perfect for us, lol.

Howdy today Miss Lena! Are those Tylenol and Advil enough to take the pain away? Do you have your hand in a sling or cast or something?

Howdy Janton! It's not that painful and my hand is only bandaged up. No cast! I am just wearing old sock preventing from getting dirty, lol.

lol..very good. Did you wash that sock before you put it on? lol. I'm glad you don't have to wear a cast.

😂😂😂

Howdy steem-plus! Thanks so for the upvote!

I'm not sure how useful that would be in the "end times," to be honest. Without a robust oil sector, gasoline wouldn't be available and you'd be a lot less mobile. I wouldn't mind having one, though, for a bachelor pad. It would be great for a travel photographer, too: not so easy for someone to break in and take your equipment.

If you wnat to go full-on Mad Max, though, I saw a site that had tracked vehicles for sale. If you were good with a welding machine, you could totally make yourself a tank-house. It might even be cheaper than the $500k!

A tank house! lol..I agree, that would be the way to go in a Mad Max scenario. I figured that if you could afford a million dollar Earth Roamer then you would have a system for fuel worked out. If you were buying it for that purpose.

For a traveling bachelor pad, wow, that would be fantastic!

All versions are pretty cool. Glad to find there's some hope for humanity.

Howdy sir manoldonchev! I think one of these would give a person some hope that is for sure. Thanks so much for stopping by!

lol, oh my word this truly made me giggle, especially the redneck version. We have a travel van but I guess it's not suited for doomsday :) at that price, I am amazed people are flocking to buy them, wow. They look lovely but..... Thanks for the share @janton

Howdy birdsinparadise! I know the price in totally insane but that's why you might need to go with the redneck option. lol. Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is hilarious. Love the redneck version, but what version is that last one? It's a great look I love that thing. I think I'm in love with that guy. hahaha. this is so funny.

Both of the last two are the redneck versions, they're so innovative and they don't care what things look like! lol. Thanks so much owasco!

Cowboy, I had to laugh at the last two photos- Probably more in the price range I was thinking. 😂

lol! Me too..it would take some work but those were still viable poor man's options! lol.
