00:04

00:07

Rocky Mountains in Central Colorado and

00:09

tonight we are going to be winter

00:11

camping in the earth RoR SX which

00:13

retails for over $1 million we made our

00:16

first video with Earth RoR back in 2021

00:19

and thankfully this has kind of become a

00:20

yearly tradition the first year we were

00:22

in Boulder Colorado and their LTI model

00:24

everyone who drives by is like and last

00:27

year we went on an epic adventure in

00:29

Moab in the first ever SX in existence

00:32

that was the scaredest I've been yet for

00:34

sure the LTI is the smaller one and the

00:35

SX is the monster this year we're back

00:38

in the SX but in a completely different

00:40

environment yesterday we met up with

00:41

Zach and Ryan from the earth RoR team

00:43

and we spent the afternoon trying to

00:44

find the perfect camping spot no way a

00:48

moose just crossed the road right in

00:51

front of us there's two of them oh

00:53

they're so cute well there's another one

00:55

there's three

00:57

no way as it turns out a lot lot of the

01:00

side roads here in Colorado actually

01:02

Clos in the winter so it took us a

01:03

little while to find a spot this bridge

01:05

is skinny what is that saying about you

01:08

break it what bu it now it's not a good

01:11

job as it was getting dark really once

01:13

it was completely dark we found the

01:15

perfect camping spot I think that's camp

01:18

this is going to be sweet we're

01:19

surrounded by The Majestic mountains

01:21

we're parked right next to a beautiful

01:23

stream and this is going to be our home

01:25

for the next 36 hours so before we go

01:27

out and explore this beautiful nature

01:28

let us show you around our new home yes

01:30

this is going to be

01:33

[Music]

01:44

amazing life is

01:47

good I kid you not 24 hours ago I was

01:50

waking up in a snow cave on the side of

01:53

a mountain that we built with our hands

01:55

and then slept in so it goes without

01:57

saying last night was a bit Cozier than

01:59

that we always love adventures in the

02:01

earth RoR but I'm extra grateful for all

02:03

of the little luxuries today it's going

02:05

to be a good day so last year when we

02:06

were in Moab we were in the blue sx1

02:09

that means it was the first SX ever

02:11

built and at that time it was the only

02:13

one in existence today we're in the SX4

02:16

so these are very similar vehicles but

02:18

in case you missed last year's video

02:19

we're going to give you a quick overview

02:21

of the outside and inside of this one

02:24

starting at the front working our way to

02:25

the back the cool factor of the front of

02:27

the earth RoR is just through the roof

02:29

and the light bar not only looks cool

02:31

but whether you want 180ยฐ view at night

02:33

in the desert or if you're driving

02:34

through the snow in the mountains trying

02:35

to find the perfect spot this thing

02:37

looks like the sun even the color it's

02:40

yellow and it was magnifying the snow

02:42

last night as we were driving it was so

02:45

cool also in the front we have a

02:47

16,500 lb winch we used that to pull a

02:49

4Runner out of a ditch in a canyon last

02:52

year and if I'm being honest I kind of

02:54

hope one of these gets stuck this year

02:55

so that we can try it out in the snow

02:57

all right working our way back we've got

02:59

the good year military grade tires these

03:01

are rated up to 82 mph so you can take

03:04

these things four-wheeling through the

03:05

back country or you can be going 80 M an

03:07

hour on the highway which is amazing

03:09

this is a pretty tall truck to get into

03:11

and one thing that I really appreciated

03:13

last night was this little step that

03:14

opens up as you get out of the earth RoR

03:16

so you've actually got two steps to get

03:18

up into this well I could have sworn the

03:20

number was on the side I think it's just

03:22

Chevy

03:24

650 I'm just confirming thank you it's a

03:28

Chevy 6500

03:30

Zach and Ryan are staying in the red LTI

03:33

they still don't trust us to take one of

03:34

these out on our own but one day so you

03:36

actually have two steps to get up into

03:38

the cab but last night when there was

03:40

all the snow on the ground and I didn't

03:41

want to get snow in my boots climb out

03:43

this door work your way over open the

03:46

door to the back of the earth RoR and

03:48

you can make it all the way around

03:50

without ever stepping in the snow or you

03:52

can just crawl through the back seat

03:53

like I did oh gosh I just scraped a

03:58

spine bone off between the cab and the

04:00

camper we have our on board air

04:02

compressor if we get stuck in the snow

04:03

or if we hit some really deep snow we

04:05

can air down our tires that'll give us

04:07

more traction and then when we get back

04:09

on the road we'll need to air them back

04:10

up and we can do that all from the earth

04:12

Ro you don't have to go to a gas station

04:13

and sit there forever and so probably

04:16

the most unique and special thing about

04:18

the Earth RoR is that the camper part of

04:20

it is made out of carbon fiber the

04:22

entire thing is molded together to be

04:25

this super strong structure last night

04:27

we invited Zach and Ryan over for dinner

04:29

and they were explaining to us that

04:30

there is actually a military grade

04:32

rating and the cab of the earth roor

04:34

could be dropped out of the back of a

04:36

military airplane hit the ground and it

04:38

would still be in one functional piece

04:41

so maybe if we can get this video to a

04:43

million likes maybe Earth RoR will let

04:45

us make a video dropping this thing out

04:46

of an

04:47

airplane what do you think guys this is

04:50

a shower that I fumbled with many times

04:56

before may your way to the back of the

04:58

earth RoR that sound is our heater our

05:01

lovely beautiful warm heater I think we

05:04

may survive mhm inside this box we have

05:10

just forgot how to use this for 3 years

05:13

now I have shown you this Grill but we

05:15

have never put it to use and even though

05:16

it is completely freezing outside this

05:18

afternoon when we get back we are going

05:20

to grill out because why not we've got

05:22

our Max tracks in case we get stuck a

05:24

spare tire in case we get a flat up top

05:26

we've got our cameras and two huge light

05:29

it was so amazing last night sitting

05:31

inside warm and cozy eating dinner we

05:33

had all the lights on outside and we

05:35

were just watching it snow another

05:37

16,500 lb winch on the back this is the

05:40

pass through gear Locker goes all the

05:42

way to the other side and this year we

05:44

actually have some cool stuff in here

05:46

we've got our back Country Skis we're

05:48

going to be doing a little bit of that

05:49

later we've got both of our suitcases we

05:51

unloaded all that inside you'll see that

05:53

in a minute I just discovered one other

05:55

thing that I'm super excited about there

05:56

is a 120 Outlet in the gear garage this

05:59

is a little bougie but uh we do have

06:02

heated ski boots and so now we can

06:04

actually plug our boots in and charge

06:06

them here in the back without even

06:08

having to take them inside luxury couple

06:10

years ago we winterized our Sprinter van

06:13

or at least tried to and turned our

06:15

entire shower into a ski locker let's

06:18

just say this is a lot better than that

06:20

the bottom of the Pea funnel froze I

06:22

felt it running down my leg diesel tank

06:25

number one diesel tank number two we've

06:27

got 100 gallons of diesel on board and

06:30

that's really important in Winter

06:31

settings like this because our solar

06:33

panels up top are completely covered in

06:35

snow today but the amazing thing about

06:36

the Earth RoR is that it can charge

06:38

itself off the alternator of the Chevy

06:40

so even though we're not getting power

06:42

from the solar panels we're still

06:43

completely self-sufficient out here not

06:45

only are we self-sufficient but it's

06:47

also automatic I can't count how many

06:49

times we've woken up in our Sprinter van

06:51

in the middle of the night to the

06:52

batteries going beep beep beep be we

06:56

literally just left the shop waking us

06:59

up we have to get up get the keys turn

07:02

on the car so the alternator can charge

07:04

the batteries Earth RoR just turns

07:07

itself on this is my arch nemesis there

07:10

is still a cassette toilet in the earth

07:12

RoR I was told that this toilet is never

07:14

used otherwise I would be worried that

07:16

this liquid leaking onto my arm right

07:17

now was not water I used it earlier no

07:20

you didn't we have been using this on

07:22

this trip so I will not open it and I

07:23

think that does it for a quick overview

07:25

of the outside let's head in look at

07:27

this I need bigger boots all right I'm

07:30

going up since we're actually getting a

07:33

little Sun I'm going to attempt to clean

07:34

off the solar panels and save a little

07:36

diesel that definitely do not think I'd

07:38

be opening the sunroof in this video

07:40

please be careful you're also sweeping

07:42

some snow in

07:48

here it's like an ice skating rink up

07:50

here pretty cool that you can stand on

07:52

the solar panels even if they're

07:54

slippery please be careful so by

07:56

cleaning off the solar panels on the top

07:57

which turned out to be a little bit

07:58

dangerous we went from getting 2 amps of

08:00

solar to almost 30 and the alternator

08:03

charger is even shut

08:09

off want some popcorn please excuse me

08:13

for interrupting the Earth rmer

given us a sweet deal for yall better

08:18

than usual trying to hit all of our

08:20

08:27

loved AG wine from the moment we

every single Earth RoR is custom built

10:02

for the owner who's buying it so they're

10:04

all just a little bit different this one

10:06

being the SX4 it has quite a few

10:09

similarities but also some pretty cool

10:11

upgrades that we're very excited about

10:13

I'll do a quick overview of the whole

10:15

inside starting here in the dining room/

10:18

spare bedroom SL best office ever look

10:22

at these views 180ยฐ I love the windows

10:26

pretty sure this wasn't in the sx1 this

10:28

is one of three control panels that you

10:31

have in the earth RoR so with this you

10:33

can check your levels of your water or

10:35

your tanks or the temperature or you can

10:38

turn all the lights on and off we have a

10:40

television hiding up here in the ceiling

10:42

and with the Press of a button it just

10:44

Boop comes down also for the TV and for

10:47

working there is starlink Internet on

10:49

the roof and we also learned that

10:51

starlink actually has a feature where it

10:53

automatically melts the snow off of the

10:55

satellite so it continues to work even

10:57

in a snowstorm so this morning I put the

10:59

Drone up above the Earth RoR all the

11:01

solar panels were completely covered in

11:02

snow and there was one little white spot

11:05

with no snow on it and that was Starling

11:07

like I said this is also the spare

11:08

bedroom so if you have guessed this

11:11

table just lowers the cushions come in

11:13

and you have a California King in our

11:15

van there's pieces of plywood that you

11:16

have to mess with it's a whole thing to

11:18

put the table up and down this table

11:20

goes up and down with the push of a

11:23

button oh yeah this also moves which is

11:25

just nice here is the drawer that I

11:29

everything is stuck in currently maybe

11:30

cuz I'm sitting on it I bet the cushion

11:33

is here's where we're keeping a bunch of

11:35

our Electronics now welcome to the

11:39

galley as they say do they say that is

11:42

that only on boat it might be on a boat

11:44

hey Siri what is a galley here's what I

11:47

found I think it's a lamb boats I don't

11:50

even know where to start because kid are

11:52

my favorite I love to eat I love to cook

11:54

and they have nailed it microwave this

11:57

is something that we didn't have have in

11:59

our van and I learned to live without a

12:01

microwave but there is one thing that I

12:03

miss so badly and that is reheating my

12:07

coffee life is too short for cold coffee

12:12

we have this lovely freezer fridge combo

12:15

continuing on this side we've pretty

12:17

much used this drawer as just our pantry

12:19

so all of our little snacks are in here

12:22

and then these next two we've put all of

12:26

our clothes in they're Dr antic and they

12:29

all fit now let me introduce you to the

12:32

most beautiful kitchen of any camper

12:35

that's ever existed I say this every

12:37

year but wow did they nail the dish

12:40

organization we don't dare to have glass

12:44

in our van but we only have glass glass

12:47

plates glass bowls they've custom built

12:50

this structure so that nothing moves if

12:54

you're in an earth RoR you better be

12:55

off-roading going cool places on rugged

12:58

roads and they make it so that nothing

13:00

breaks and then the sink is shiny and

13:03

beautiful but this is very special this

13:05

side filtered water but this side is

13:08

instant hot water which is one of those

13:11

things that doesn't really sound like a

13:12

big deal until you've experienced it and

13:14

then you don't know how you've ever

13:16

lived without it then I'm pretty sure

13:19

this was not in the sx1 but they have

13:22

custom built these inserts for the sink

13:25

so that it is so functional no matter

13:27

what you're doing and you have so so

13:29

much more counter space which is always

13:30

a big deal when you're living in a

13:32

vehicle even one is big and great as

13:33

Earth and then this big mixing bow that

13:36

we filled with snow because Zach used to

13:38

be a bartender and he made us some

13:40

really fun snow cocktails in the winter

13:42

you still have 100% functionality in the

13:45

earth RoR which is not something that a

13:46

lot of campers can say normally you have

13:48

to shut off water to certain places or

13:50

if you're like us you have to build a

13:52

completely different gray water system

13:54

and bring it inside so it doesn't freeze

13:56

also on that same trip I had to buy

13:58

insulated Crocs because the floor of our

13:59

van was getting so cold that's actually

14:01

one of my ideas or threr if you're

14:03

watching I think heated floors would

14:06

just really make it next level they're

14:08

not cold though like even not standing

14:11

no you're right they're not cold

14:12

continuing along this side of the

14:14

kitchen we have the classic Earth

14:17

RoR Cutlery drawer each piece has its

14:20

own perfect slot so nothing Jiggles

14:23

around and that brings us to our next

14:26

upgrade I do feel responsible this

14:29

because last year we were in the sx1 and

14:32

unfortunately the moment I started

14:33

driving over the sand dunes shoot oh no

14:37

so they've installed this Nifty little

14:40

latch so that no matter what road you're

14:42

on all your wine stays nice and sa this

14:45

is another upgrade that we did not have

14:47

last year it just looks like a nice

14:50

permanent cutting board but actually

14:52

boom it's an induction stove which you

14:54

can't really set anything on it you want

14:56

to protect it so they built this cutting

14:59

board that is somehow perfectly still

15:01

like no matter what you can't move it

15:04

and you got all this counter space p and

15:06

then lastly this is definitely one of

15:08

the highlights we have a washer dryer

15:12

combo machine so obviously it's very

15:15

convenient to not have to drive your

15:16

million dooll vehicle to a laundry mat

15:19

on your trip but here in the winter time

15:22

like when our socks get wet from walking

15:24

around in the snow or if I want a warm

15:27

jacket or a towel after my shower I can

15:30

give it a little dry and get it all nice
