"EcoRoamer": Eco-friendly Gigantic RV With Caterpillar C7 Engine That Runs on Biodiesel Designed by Jay Shaprio - - Aims to Go Around the World


Designed by Jay Shaprio, the EcoRoamer is one big machine that will be used to go around the world without polluting the ecosystem much. The gigantic RV will be a mobile home for Shaprio, his wife, their two kids and two cats as the family treks from Alaska to the southernmost tip of South America before hopping a boat to Africa. Once there, they’ll cross the Strait of Gibraltar into Europe before crossing Russia and Asia.


The vehicle uses a Ford F-650 chassis with 42-inch tires and a Caterpillar C7 engine that runs on biodiesel. The engine also ensures that if anything goes wrong Shaprio can find some help nearby. The engine produces 850lb-ft of torque. The vehicle also features solar panels on the roof that provide juice for all the auxiliary systems.



The interior apartments are made of bamboo and other recycled materials. Moreover, the RV features a suite of communication gear running through a Panasonic Toughbook with 3G and Wi-Fi. For water, the family will rely on a water purification unit that was originally designed by NASA.
