Earthroamer are global leaders in Xpedition Vehicles, their spectacular XV-LT model line is currently the best-selling Xpedition Vehicle model in the world, and we can see why, they are in a class of their own. The company take a Ford F550 diesel and then completely overhaul it and transform it into a completely self sufficient expedition vehicle. It features solar panels to generate electricity, hard wood cabinetry, leather seating, granite counters, convection microwave, forced air furnace, air-conditioning, king-size bed and a private bathroom with shower.

If I knew for certain I would need one of these in the future I would take out a loan to buy one. By "need" I mean a circumstance that would make repaying the loan a distant worry.

That's beautiful. 

When the kids were younger, we had an old overhead camper.  I loved that thing.  It was in good shape, yet not so new that I had to fret over spills and dirt getting tracked in.  Camping with kids isn't particularly clean and neat. 

I especially liked how compact it was.  I could get a lot more into it than the motor home. We took a two week trip and only had to stop once to do laundry and pick up perishables at the market.

That would make a pretty nice hunting rig.

Looks good but needs more grill guard to push or bust up stuff in front of you.

Bssss, on the bug out.     No one with any brain will get on the highways in a bug out, you may get 1/2 mile from home when some crazy will slam dunk you , no one running from any terror will survive  the Highways.

In a city there are areas for survival------London subway tunnels for example.-----A bug out bag is use full only when one finds a place to get underground .

Plenty of places in the big city's to find older buildings with deep cellars and especially banks that store vaults down there.

We up here, are close enough to the old Air Force Sac base to walk or run to the safe havens left when the base closed down.  The hospital that is now used for a College that has been said to with stand a bomb blast.   I do wonder what is underground in that place.  First place I would head for in a time of panic and insanity.

In a terror operation or a man made problem say a power plant exploding, one does not want to be above  ground driving in a sea of terrorized people.   

This is much like the people driving down the road in tornado season.  We are told to get below ground, in a ditch, or cellar.  Those that head for the underpasses, some do survive as others are not so lucky and sucked out by the wind.
