ORC staffers had the opportunity to follow along
over the past year as Earthroamer Founders, Michele Connolly and
Bill Swails, worked feverishly to put the long awaited first
EARTHROAMER XV-LT out for public consumption. And after hundreds of
hours of tremendous effort, the first XV-LT rolled out of the shop
and immediately onto the roads of America. It's been tested in
extreme environments and has passed with flying colors. Sleek,
comfortable and energy efficient, the XV-LT is the next generation
of outdoor recreational vehicles.

other expedition unit on the market, except for an M1 Abrams Tank.
The cabover is streamlined using aerodynamic engineering and has
held up to some serious off-road speed testing as conducted by
T-Rex Engineering of Valley Center, California. Without incident
the laminate composite shell has proven to handle the
extreme. |
For our first live look at the finished product we
met up with the EARTHROAMER founder, Bill Swails, who had the XV-LT
on display in Carlsbad, California at a CorporateJet Exhibition
located at the Palomar Airport.

The exterior of the expedition vehicle is sleek
and easy to maintain. As seen above, the full-size spare Goodyear

mounting system utilizes the stength in the rear wall, which is
backed with Carbon Kevlar, one of the strongest and lightest
materials available in the manufacturing market today.
