My point is that when you are paying $200-250k you would expect the refinements and components to match. It is a Ford truck with the back cut out and a very nice camper bolted on and several truck upgrades, such as winches, big wheels and tires (which don't fit the bolt pattern btw and have adapters). In business you go where the market and $'s are and there is NOTHING wrong with that) I'm sure there are many owners pushing it's limits, but I would bet the vast majority aren't using them to their design and sitting in well established camp sites. wanted to fill a hole that a truck and truck camper couldn't get to, but now it seems more and more like it's filling the ultra luxo motorhome market that doesn't want to be seen in a motorhome (kinda like the minivan / SUV argument). This goes right to the root of my question of who the target audience really is. ER is just out of the starting gate trying to build a reputation and built on another manufacturers platform. Besides, it is a very bad comparison in my opinion, as the ER is nothing like a Ferrari, whose reputation is built on a history of success in F1 racing. Don't really want to go down that argument path as it could go many different directions with wins in both columns. The extra hunna went right to bright smiling dealer's bottom line. If your satisfied, great, but there are a lot folks with significant disposable income (though perhaps fewer than a couple of years ago) who will pony up something special.

If you like the result and you have the money fine, if not, well most of us have put together, in our mind anyway, an alternative that provides approximate performance and a lower cost, perhaps substantially lower. Many semi custom manufacturers and this can include boat builders etc., determine what it is they want to include in the product, figure that cost, determine man hours required to manufacture, multiply that by a labor rate and add a profit margin that covers other costs and gives some return on investment. The folks at Earthroamer (and Unicat for that matter) are conceiving and executing well thought out and constructed vehicles. When you’re done, tie a knot in the craft lace at the bottom of your design, and trim any excess length.A while ago I came to the conclusion that any product that is produced in extremely low production numbers will have a high cost and if you try to justify that cost you simply won't.Repeat steps 2-4 with every line of your pattern.When you’re done, you should have to two equal lengths of craft lace again, one on either side of the line of beads. Reposition the line of beads so that they form the bottom side of a craft lace triangle, with the keyring as the triangle’s top corner. Now, string the other leg of craft lace through beads in the opposite direction of the first leg.(This may not matter for the first line, but it’s important later on!) Push the beads up to the top of the craft lace, next to the key ring. String those beads onto one of the legs of craft lace, in the order you see them on the pattern.If you’re using the bird pattern, the first line will be 3 green beads. Look at the top line of your pattern, and find pony beads to match that line.Tie your craft lace to your key ring, leaving two legs of equal length.
