O.K. Mike, I'll go with your ping.
You can be smug in the knowledge that you have paid the highest price per square foot real estate in the RV biz.
That fact did not deter me from having a 'just-right' rig for off-road and remote country exploration.
Last night I watched a program called, "Extreme RV". There were mongo big 3-axle trailers, humongous MoHo's for just short of $1,000,000 and a look at the construction and building of the legend-in-their-own-mind Earth roamer. I did learn a lot, including a good look at the 3 point system connecting the box to the frame. They go against the prevailing euro concept of having the single point at the front and the pair at the rear by having just the opposite. The pivoting single connection is at the rear of the frame. Also, the box is a fiberglass/balsa/fiberglass light composite body with good R value and very tough. It has 1.3KW of solar panels on the roof which makes it top heavy and those panels will catch any branch that strays by. Still, they did their homework and made it work from the ground up, not an add-on like a regualr TC.
Only $403,000 dollars, U.S.
