Asking price$200,000 USD / $250,000 CAD
$150,000USD until end of Summer then we're taking it off market.
**I’m happy to provide a virtual tour for those out of province / country.
**Will ship anywhere in North America at buyer’s expense
Reason for selling - we are now a family of 5 so we want something bigger (like an HD, or larger GXV if you want to trade). This is a reluctant sale.

Chassis: Ford F450, 6.0L Diesel engine (bulletproofed)
Mileage: 213406 kms
95 gallons fuel capacity
Rear bench seat (seats 5)
Register in AB Canada
Chassis upgrades (beyond Earthroamer upgrades):
Bulletproof Diesel EGR cooler
Bulletproof Diesel Oil cooler system
Bulletproof Diesel FICM
Smittybuilt 15000lbs winch
Recent maintenance:
Brand New truck batteries (April 2022)
New high performance head studs
New head gasket
New injectors
New brake calipers, rotors, and pads
New rear tires
New king shocks (from Earthroamer)
New marine 2 way fridge (vitrifrigo)
New purple mattress (cal king)
2 new alternators

House:
Fiberglass one piece mounted with 3 point pivot system. Absolutely ZERO leaks ever.
950 watts solar
Pure sine wave inverter
Solar controller
Alternator charging control
Diesel cooktop
Diesel air heater
Diesel water heater
Electric water heater
Wet bath with cassette toilet (5 gallon)
85 gallon fresh water tank
26 gallon grey water tank
Nesspresso latissima touch coffee maker (fast super good coffee with milk frother)
New seating / second bed cushions (custom made with 4 inch sleeping foam)
ER28 is in great shape, and ready to roll!
Literally none out there at this price.
Way better bang for your buck than building a sprinter
Other things we'd be happy to include for a full price offer:
Heavy duty sand boards / bridging boards
One-up 4 bike rack
Mexico import sticker (this has 5+ years left on it. We'll leave it on the vehicle and eat the expense of not returning it. This will let you drive anywhere in Mexico / cross the boarder without the rigamarole of importing)
Scan guage 2 engine monitor calibrated to the 6.0L engine
No tire kickers please. Serious inquiries only. You can get a good idea if this is a fit for you by watching the videos linked below.

Known issues:
The faux leather header is separating in the very front bunk area - barely noticeable unless you touch it, not in the way at all. We just opted not to fix it. Earthroamer said they'll fix it next time we bring the truck there.
Air conditioner is done and needs replacing. We just haven't gotten to it yet. This is planned maintenance for us this spring so check back. Honestly we have never needed it except when in Mexico over the summer months. The ventilation is excellent.
Paint on the very top front of the cabin is quite faded/worn. Just cosmetic not very noticeable. If it really matters to you we'd suggest a full wrap like ER does or painting the whole thing in line-x. Just hasn't been important to us.
One door button broken - waiting on replacement. Still functions fine.
Table has a scratch on it - can easily be sanded out.
Lights in the trunks don't work, never have. Has never been a priority for us.
The vin may pull up as a salvage vehicle because it was stolen from the original owner in 2007, claimed for insurance, and then recovered.
Currently registered in Canada. Was previously registered in the USA (after salvage), and is on the registered vehicle import list between USA and Canada. Yes you can importit back to the USA.
It has passed an insane number of inspections from when we imported it to Canada (to our knowledge there are only 3 currently registered in Canada), has never been in a real accident and is 100% good to go. We've driven it all over Canada, USA, Mexico, Guatemala with zero regulatory issues. We have a video with Bill Swails (founder of ER) telling the story if you want any more confirmation.
Bottom line although technically “salvaged” it is not a wrecked vehicle and is fully registered and good to go.
Possible answers you may be looking for:
The older model age -> this is a huge advantage as it is pre-emissions so no need to be stressed on def fluid or finding ULSD when you travel to Mexico and beyond!
Also, most major engine work is very recent and at less than 250k kms barely broken in - tons of year / kms left on this - we would have no issues doing a world trip in this truck.
Another advantage of the year (and make being Ford) is that maintenance and finding mechanics / shops that can work on the truck for you both in North America and internationally is easy! Part are readily available.
Air suspension (like the new ERs) - no but earthroamer quoted the upgrade to us a few years back at 10k usd.
We found it better to keep the coil and leafs as they're way easier to fix if there's ever a problem while traveling in a difficult spot.
MPT 81 tires - no they won't fit unless you upgrade the suspension. But you probably don't actually want them. Many other earthroamer owners we've met have all said the same thing - the mpt 81 tires are a hassle to balance, often wear funny, and the limited top speed sucks.
We have no problem cruising at 120km/hr with the current set up. MPT 81s max out at 100km/hr.
We have only ever been stuck once and that was in extreme sand where the other tires would have made no difference. Obviously with the winch and sand board we got out no problem
