Description
Driving with trailer needs practice and caution!

May.25 Update: fixed mod-polluted solar panels. Decoupler optimized for better trailer coupling.

ERV-7 "Reindeer" is a versatile heavy exploration rover to be deployed together with the ESA Polar Outpost "Nordkapp". It carries full surface science assets and ISRU system, capable of supporting all 6 crew members of the Nordkapp base during long-term expedition operations. Additionally, with its supply trailer, it can also refuel landers or fuel-transport shuttles.

Key Features
- Self-sufficient: continuous ISRU capability
- Docking port specially designed for the Nordkapp base
- Deck with retractable side railing
- Complete surface science assets
- With supply trailer

Design Notes
- The overall idea is inspired by a heavy carrier vehicle from the 2019 Chinese sci-fi The Wandering Earth, which I believe also has real-world references.
- The trailer is pretty heavy when full, drive carefully.
- The solar panels are designed for polar regions. If used elsewhere, you may want to change their orientation.
- Retract side railing to let kerbals directly climb up to the deck - if you want to be realistic, because in fact the railing has no collision model at all.
- AG 3-5 and 9 are used.

Wish you enjoy and happy roving!

100% stock, 135 parts. Root part is an Mk2 fuel tank under the front part.

Wow nice job! I haven't sent it out of Kebin yet, really nice to know it's actually doable!

Successfully landed on Mun by the lifter of Nordkapp!

It's a stock part since KSP 1.6, namely the Mk2 lander can in rover configuration.
It's my third time to explain this, I mean, the game should hint players about new features in an EFFECTIVE way...Such explanation by other players should't be necessary...

I think it's the cockpit on the top left that ain't stock.

Glad you like it!

@Quinncubus, is there any problems loading it?
As far as I know, there is a mod relating to EVE that influences SOLAR PANELS, I don't know exactly what effect it has, it if will render stock parts unusable, I'll have to consider removing it...
