Overlanding vehicle maker EarthCruiser has teamed up with GMC to turn the Hummer EV into a RV.
Hummer, the brand once known for its gas-guzzling SUVs, now sells electric vehicles.

GMC and overlanding vehicle maker EarthCruiser have teamed up to turn the Hummer EV into a tricked out electrified RV ready to pummel its overlanding competitors.

If there's one thing both companies do well, it's building giant, boxy, flashy vehicles. So of course the two are working together to upfit the iconic electric Hummer into a beefy home on wheels, debuting on Thursday at the Overland Expo in Colorado.

Oregon-based EarthCruiser builds big, buff overlanding RVs available in the US, like its Ford-based Terranova model shown below.

Despite all of these add-ons, EarthCruiser says its Hummer RV can stay off-grid for about a week.

The Hummer EV can drive up to 329 miles on a full charge, according to the EPA. But expect less due to the camper's extra weight and drag.
