EC Terranova Expedition Camper:
September 29, 2020 — BEND, OR — EarthCruiser, a globally recognized leader in global expedition travel vehicles, introduces the EC Terranova Expedition Camper, a 4×4 all-season cab-over expedition camper available with a choice of Ford, Chevy or Dodge domestic chassis. The EC Terranova allows outdoor enthusiasts to travel unbound, without sacrificing performance, comfort or livability, and is designed to be unyielding in its ability to perform in town or on the most rugged terrain with ease opening up endless adventure possibilities.
“EarthCruiser is an undisputed expert in cab-over vehicle design in the USA and have been perfecting cab-over overlanding trucks since 2008. We pull from years of proven engineering and design expertise to produce the most accomplished 4×4 recreation vehicles available in the world,” says Chad Knight, GM of EarthCruiser. “The EC Terranova Expedition Camper meets customer demand for a cab-over with a choice of domestic chassis. We know many customers feel more comfortable behind the wheel of a consumer-class truck versus commercial and have strong brand preferences. We want to be able to honor that.”
Every EarthCruiser product is designed, developed and hand built, by a team of enthusiasts that bring years of true overlanding experience to every inch of product construction. Experiences in Mongolia, through the jungles of Borneo, and across the Australian outback influence every panel, latch, door location, storage compartment, and system redundancy. No other expedition camper can be trusted to get you to your next adventure and back like the EC Terranova Expedition Camper.
Performance
The smaller house and lighter weight of the EC Terranova Expedition Camper allows for more acceleration and better performance on the highway and easily tows a boat, trailer, or toy hauler. Base Chassis options include: Model year 2020+ Ford F350; RAM 3500 and Silverado 3500.
Construction
Made like a racing yacht. Fiberglass and high density plastic materials will stand up to years of rough trails, and are easily cleaned. The camper chassis is mounted to the vehicle chassis with EarthCruisers proprietary kinetic mount system and with the same foam insulated raising-roof found on EXD and EXP models. The triple-layer curtain includes 8 windows which provide a 360-degree panoramic view, and include insect, privacy screens and clear vinyl protective layers. No locks or latches are required to raise or lower the roof.
EarthCruiser’s foam core composite construction, and multi-layer curtain provide unparalleled protection against the elements, keeping the heat in, or out, all four-seasons. EarthCruisers are designed to perform in the world’s most extreme climates, ensuring comfort in all temperatures and conditions, allowing you to work or relax in comfort and safety.
Industrial Design
EC Terranova looks tough, and delivers on this. Because of our years of design experience, we are able to fit all required systems and a generous living space into a sleek, aerodynamic design. This avoids the bulky, boxy look of most other “expedition” truck bed campers on the market. Interior living space is designed to maximize space, comfort, and usability and borrows from our products that have been proven in extreme remote situations all over the world.
Interior
EC Terranova offers expanded living quarters with the bed above the cab roof as an alternative to the convertible dinette-bed combination offered in the EarthCruiser EXD.
The EC Terranova Expedition Camper comfortably transports and houses four guests and utilizes many of the same systems as the popular EarthCruiser EXP and FX. These systems (electrical, plumbing, mechanical) are designed to work together seamlessly, and have been stress-tested and repeatedly proven during years of world travel and ranges of environments and temperatures far below sub-zero.
Living-quarter features include:
