The LTi has details from EarthRoamer's LTS and HD builds, both of which are also camper vans built on a Ford. However, unlike the two other models, LTi's body has been vacuum-infused with carbon fiber. Its maker claims this makes the vehicle "lighter and stronger" and allows the LTi to be over 1,000 pounds lighter than the LTS.

The monocoque carbon fiber body isn't the only lightweight but strong part of the tiny home on wheels: the front and rear bumpers are aluminum, giving it the same "tough but light" qualities.

There are five different floor plans that all affect various aspects of the interior, including the size of the galley, storage options, and the number of people who can seat and sleep inside the LTi. It also includes a bathroom with a shower and toilet.
