Discover EarthCruiser Innovation in Bend, Oregon
Our headquarters in Bend, Oregon is the heart of EarthCruiser’s innovation, where cutting-edge research, development, and product testing drive the future of overland travel. While our original factory has closed, we’ve expanded our capabilities by partnering with expert manufacturers across the United States—bringing EarthCruiser vehicles closer to your doorstep and making your overland dreams more attainable than ever before.
We Didn’t Step Away—We Stepped Forward
You may have heard EarthCruiser closed its factory doors. But this isn’t the end of our journey—it’s the beginning of a bold new chapter.
With all direct customer orders now fulfilled, we’re shifting gears. We’re no longer just building vehicles—we’re building a movement. One grounded in craftsmanship, innovation, and a deep commitment to empowering the next generation of builders, explorers, and overland travelers.
Why the Shift?
For nearly two decades, EarthCruiser has set the benchmark in expedition-ready overland vehicles. From the legendary EXP to the versatile MOD and rugged Terranova platforms, we’ve built hundreds of trucks that have traveled millions of miles—across continents and climates, from jungle treks to desert crossings to epic ski trips.
What once sat on the fringe of the RV industry is now a thriving market, powered by people who want quality products without a ridiculous price tag. Instead of scaling the traditional way, we’re doing what EarthCruiser Innovation does best: breaking the mold.
It’s time to remake the RV industry—by supporting local manufacturing across North America. We’re teaming up with van upfitters and independent builders—the very folks who’ve led innovation and customer experience in this space, just like we have.
Introducing Our Platform Program
We’re kicking things off by offering our two most in-demand vehicle platforms as fully engineered, ready-to-install shells:

These platforms are designed for independent van upfitters, custom builders, and conversion specialists to finish the interiors and accessories based on your customer’s style, needs, and budget.

And this is just the beginning.
The long- awaited EarthCruiser EVADO for the Sprinter chassis is on the way, along with towable options crafted specifically for overland travelers, sportsmen, and adventure seekers alike.
Because It Matters
We’re not here to mass-produce RVs. We’re here to redefine what a modern manufacturing company can be—rethinking what the builder–dealer ecosystem looks like.
Our builder partners love what they do. It’s their passion. They bring authenticity, dedication, and craftsmanship to every build— put to work for you. When you buy from one of our partners, you’re supporting local manufacturing and getting a better product, built to last and serve you the way it should.
Innovation continues at our Bend, Oregon headquarters, where we’re actively developing next-gen platforms and pushing the boundaries of off-grid exploration.
And coming soon: Tag-Along Training Tours— guided adventures where EarthCruiser owners can gain hands-on skills, build confidence, and join a thriving community of like-minded explorers.
This is more than a shift—it’s a rallying call.
For those who dream big.
Whether you’re a customer seeking the ultimate expedition vehicle—or a builder ready to deliver it—we’re inviting you to join the movement.
