Earthroamer is right next door to me. You're looking at close to million dollars worth of vehicles in that picture.

The vast majority of us here could never afford an Earthroamer.
The F750 big beast alone starts at 1.7 million plus options.

I was debating the accuracy of my posting going with "over" or "close to."

I chose wrong. Just shows how much out of my budget those things are.

Either way is also out of my budget. Check out the specs on that thing on their website. It is amazing. True work of engineering genius.

My setup, R-Pod 191 with Husky Centerline hitch. Ranger tows it great, looking at a possible cross country trip this summer. Don’t need, wouldn't want anything much bigger. As was mentioned, hitch setup is key.

We've been thinking of the Escape travel trailers, made in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. Right now the exchange rate is pretty beneficial if your'e in the USA and paying Canadian dollars. The smallest currently made is the 17' single axle (2540 lbs dry), but they have double axles in the 19' (3150 lbs) and 21' (3365 lbs) versions, and also a tandem 5th wheel (3810 lbs dry).
Either of those should be a good match with the Ranger, although the 5th wheel might need the longer bed of the Supercab.
EDIT: 7/20/2020 We are ordering the 19' model today. :)

J Haggerty, have you received this yet ? Maybe still waiting ?? ...

Was just looking at this online and I came here to see what Ranger owners are towing and recommending. The 19 offers much more than the 17B but I want to stay as light/small as possible etc.

Would love a report when you you are able.

Thanks much,

Those R-pods are nice. I like that they use composite panels and the look lower and more areodynamic than most travel trailers. I'm hoping to upgrade to one ina few years.
