WARNING: YOU MAY need to win the Lotto in order to afford some of these mega motorhomes and super-cool trailers.
But look, sometimes it’s good to get an idea of what you can spend your winnings on when your numbers do come up.
These extreme motorhomes, recreational vehicles (RVs) and trailers are basically mobile mansions – all have incredible amenities, features and designs that are literally better than most homes.
So, to get planning for your ultimate luxury road trip, here are some of the greatest (and most expensive) motorhomes and trailers you can buy.
1. Airstream Land Yacht
Perhaps no other RV nameplate is as iconic and revered as Airstream. These super cool and slick aluminium travel trailers are some of the most luxurious and lusted after on the market. Take the 2014 limited edition Airstream Land Yacht which was a collaboration between Airstream engineers and famed Italian Riva yacht designer Mauro Micheli.
The Land Yacht travel trailer is over eight metres long and can sleep up to five people in its sumptuous interior. Step inside the Land Yacht and you are greeted with elegant curved cabinetry and plush padded surfaces with detail stitching. It is stunning looking and the perfect RV to take on a road trip to Monaco where it wouldn’t look out of place.
This pretty Airstream will cost you a pretty penny, though. You’ll need at least €130,000 or so to get into one.
2. Newell Coach 1488
One for the Euro Millions win, the Newell Coach model number 1488 costs an eye-watering USD$1.7 million (roughly €1.4million). For that amount of cash, you get a 45-foot-long mobile mansion complete with marble floor tiling with bamboo trim, a queen sized bedroom with master bathroom, another bathroom, and a full kitchen with oven, stove top and built in coffee maker. There’s also a washing machine and dryer and two TVs (42-inch and 47-inch).
The front seats are heated and feature massage functions although for that price I’d want my own driver to be included so I could live in the lap of luxury in the back. This beast looks like a penthouse showroom. It’s mega.
3. Featherlite Vantare Platinum Plus
Featherlite boasts about the reliability of its motorcoaches but I sure wouldn’t mind being broken down and stuck on the side of the road in its Vantare Platinum Plus motorhome. It’s bigger and cosier than my actual home.
The interior of this palatial pad is made of the finest materials sourced from around the world like Italian leather and suede, Incan marble, and Swarovski crystals. This motorhome is so big and swanky that it even has its own garage. Underneath the Platinum Plus is room for your sports car. I kid you not. This bad boy will cost you around USD$2.5 million (€2.1million).
4. Marchi Mobile eleMMent Palazzo Superior
Billed as “the most luxurious mobile home in the world”, this is also the most expensive costing upwards of €2.5million. The design combines features from the worlds of motor-sports, aviation and yachting to create a motorhome masterpiece.
It has so many cool features that I don’t know where to start! Perhaps the most striking is the panoramic, helicopter-like windshield can be darkened in two stages using an adjustable sun protection system.
That said, probably its most appealing feature is the four-metre sofa that is within reach of the bar, the wine cabinet and the ice-maker. Luxury laziness at its finest. But wait, there’s more. On the roof, at the push of a button, a cocktail bar appears with underfloor heating and marble lighting. It’s your very own sky bar.
OK. Let’s wind this down with a more realistic option that still ticks all the ‘cool motor home’ boxes.
5. Taxa Cricket
Taxa Outdoors makes some of the coolest campers around. Its founder, Garrett Finney, is a former NASA habitation module designer who creating the small living spaces aboard the International Space Station. He has taken this knowledge of designing small living spaces and applied it to campers and trailers and one of his funkiest designs is the Cricket Camper.
The Cricket is designed for off-grid adventure and its light weight means it can be towed by most SUVs and regular cars. Its modern angular design is unlike any other camper out there and every bit of space, inside and out, is taken full advantage of. The Cricket can sleep two adults and two children and has a solar panels and integrated plumbing and electrical systems so you’re good to go days off the grid with this camper. Compared to other campers on this list, the Cricket is a steal at USD$10,000 – $18,000.
