EarthCruiser Back in Business

EarthCruiser Terranova

After closing its doors in 2024, EarthCruiser just announced that it’s back in business. According to the press release, EarthCruiser is officially launching a new operational model that will expand its reach and impact in the overlanding industry.

Moving forward, the company will supply EarthCruiser MOD slide-in campers and the EarthCruiser Terranova shells to select builders and upfitters across the United States for interior fit-out. The company is also developing the highly anticipated EVADO for the Sprinter chassis, along with additional offerings including towable options. This strategy allows EarthCruiser’s trusted engineering and designs to reach an even broader audience while empowering local builders and service provides.

“This shift isn’t just about distribution,” said Gillies. “It’s about realigning with the core values that EarthCruiser has stood for since the beginning—craftsmanship, innovation, and a genuine commitment to our customers.”

The company’s new approach focuses on making EarthCruiser decades of experience more available and attainable for more recreational vehicle users. It emphasizes long-term customer relationships and partnerships with independent U.S.-based businesses that share EarthCruiser’s values.

“Too many people today have been disappointed by mass-produced recreational vehicles badged as ‘overland,’” said Gillies. “Legacy RV manufacturers offer affordability—but often sacrifice quality and true innovation. Today’s RV owners want something more: community, authenticity, and connection. We’re here to help them find it.”

“Building a real overland vehicle requires a fundamentally different approach than producing large volume mass produces assembly line RVs,” said Gillies. “It must be engineered from the ground up with experience and customer requires front of mind, the real needs of the people who use them.” That takes a conversation, not always possible with the traditional RV dealer model. Experience counts.

According to the press release, innovation will remain anchored in EarthCruiser Innovation in Bend, Oregon, where R&D continues to fuel new ideas.
