Pushing the boundaries of conventional camper design, Washington-based manufacturer Mammoth Overland has unveiled the E.L.E, a camper designed to withstand even the most extreme survival scenarios.
The name E.L.E, standing for “Extinction Level Event,” is a bold statement, promising resilience in conditions as severe as a dystopian apocalypse, according to a report by Caravan Camping Sales.
The E.L.E is more than just its striking bright orange exterior. It’s a survivalist’s dream, packed with innovative features and an extensive array of off-grid gear. Standard equipment includes a large lithium battery and solar setup, a portable satellite internet system, a generator, and a space heater.
Further enhancing its survival capabilities, the E.L.E is equipped with submarine-style windows designed to seal out smoke, chemicals, or germs, thus creating a safe haven for its inhabitants.
Mammoth Overland has gone the extra mile to ensure the E.L.E stands out from other off-grid trailers. Unique features such as bear spray cannons, a surveillance drone, a cabin air purifier with positive pressure, and heated blankets for water tanks allow the camper to tackle any external threats. It’s no wonder Mammoth Overland refers to the E.L.E as a “preppers dream trailer.”
Security is paramount in the E.L.E’s design. The windows and doors feature bulletproof glass, and replaceable armor plates shield the camper’s body. Quick access to essential tools, first aid kits, or weapons is ensured via the roof rack, accessed by fold-down side steps or a roof hatch.
The roof rack also doubles as an observation deck, equipped with powerful lights and a Starlink satellite dish to ensure communication, regardless of the isolation of the location.
The E.L.E doesn’t compromise on comfort in the pursuit of survival. The interior boasts a rooftop air conditioner, powered by the lithium battery system, and a remote-controlled boom camera for monitoring from within the cabin’s safety.
Additional features, including a portable water purifier and heated tank blankets, ensure a continuous supply of fresh water, even in sub-zero temperatures.
Given the camper’s sealed cabin design, a departure from regular Mammoth Overland models, preparing a meal in the outdoor kitchen located under the rear hatch necessitates donning survival gear.
The compact two-berth cabin is outfitted with a gun rack, a Wi-Fi router, a TV screen, a laptop connection, a portable weather station, and a digital Geiger counter for radiation measurement.
One standout defense mechanism in the E.L.E is the bear spray canister, mounted on both sides of the camper. Activated by an internal rocker switch, the spray is on standby to deter potential intruders.
While Mammoth Overland has yet to disclose the E.L.E’s price, it’s worth noting that their standard range of ‘aerospace-grade’ campers starts at $29,500. The E.L.E signifies Mammoth Overland’s dedication to innovation and security, offering RV enthusiasts a unique, safety-first option that boldly redefines preparedness.
