They really ought to require a Class size restriction on those RV behemouths, and a driver course where you complete a drivers course in that size of RV. Flipping roving barns : |

And here I am, wishing I had the money to buy an 11 year old 3/4 ton pick-up.

Uhhhh... one thing.

Being a truck driver, my eye is trained to scrutinize carefully the dynamics of a chassis with regard to road surface and handling characteristics.

That rig looks like it would handle great on an oval track, but good luck negotiating parking lots, speed bumps, dips and driveways.

Anybody who has ever high-centered a gooseneck trailer will know what I'm talking about.

That's what I was thinking. It must have a full air ride suspension to sit that low.

I'll never forget the time we were headed out to Colorado for the Thunder in the Mountains Buell rally. An old couple in one of those road barges were trying to back it up to the pump. She kept waving and yelling at him as he backed into the awning over the pumps, then he was mad at her. We told them as we rode away that she was trying to get him to stop.

Its nice to look at but all a guy could use it for is mebey a couple of weeks a year ifn he's got a biggasspayin job. Things gotta be worth near a million Im thinkin. Shit, buy an 1125r and youll have way more fun than the near sighted deaf old coffin dodger that usually drives a rig like that....

That should be all the rage for rock musicians and other traveling multi-millionaires.

They had one on Top Gear this past season. I think they said how much it cost but I don't remember.

Just think you wouldn't even need a trailer to go to the track

FYI that RV is made in Germany, for the european market. It is 39ft long (maximum in europe) and costs around 750,000 euro

Compared to what is offered here in the US it is quite tame.

My parents travel in a 45ft coach that I have done VERY extensive modifications on. The latest project I have done it to add a fireplace. I have a video tour of it. I will try to post it if I get it uploaded somewhere.

EDIT: I have uploaded a video of the interior. A good portion of it is far from stock, all my designs, most of my work. The fireplace/TV lift was the latest project. It is still a work in progress, but I should be done with it later this year.

Excuse the mess, I had been living/working in for a week at this point.
