You can park these in tight parking spots, then take them climbing dunes, that is the beauty about them. A sort of Jeep with a "house" attached.
How can they climb dunes any better than the fully equipped for comfort Sportsmobile 4X4 camper vans?
Quite easy, better approach and departure angles, narrower can drive up small tracks, much better with FE. . Off Road I doubt the Sportmobile is very comfortable basically a lightweight Van and , more a weekend warrior, it appears no Toilet. A E350/450 are not exactly great Off Road, need fair bit to make them work Off Road, too big for small car parks
Hi Robert,
This is my 2008 Ford 6.0 diesel from Sportsmobile West, Fresno, CA completed Dec, 2014 in the US for 18 months for 3-4 trips, then off to Europe for 12 months, then NZ & finally Sydney, Australia.
This is now a very solid military spec 4x4, with 6.0 32v diesel, F550 front & rear Dana 60 Axels, popup roof, Cooper AT Maxx Discoverer tyres 285x70x17 and Mickey Thompson Rims, Roadmaster Active Suspension, and more.
4x4 Conversion by Advanced 4WD Salt Lake City, Utah & Camper Conversion EB50 by Sportsmobile.
These vehicles, flex very little, are Moab capable Rock Crawlers,
with a sofa, electric popup roof, refrigerator, porta potty, dual batteries, solar panel, etc.
This van has been completely re sprayed, engine rebuilt, re-wired,
dual insulation floor, walls & roof.

The van cost me US$7,350 at government auction, Missouri, the shipped to Advanced 4WD Systems in UTAH and painted in Salt Lake City.
The Earthroamer is a formidable vehicle, but my SMB 4X4 has cost me about $75,000 all up, and its in the US ready, then Europe/UK.
My wife wants to do the Tour de France, village to village, on the side of the road, watching the race, enjoying the scenery & local cafe's.
Ce le vie!
