Thanks. I think just about everyone here would need a lot of luck to amass enough spare change to plunk down 3/4 million on a TT.

Well, it is interesting that this trailer has hit the $3/4 million price level.

The concept of the trailer is cool. The execution seems to be less so.

I wonder how many they've sold, what the lawsuits are about and how they came to settle on the princely pricing.

Thanks for the update Anthony C. It's as interesting as most other topics on an oft-repetitious enthusiasts site as this one is, like all the rest.

And your point in resurrecting a 3 yr old post would be ..... ? :h

Wow - an almost 3 year old thread resurrected for some reason - and the company in the original link is mired in lawsuits to this day.

For a minute there, I thought WoodGlue was back!

How many A/C units will they need on a 34ft BLACK TT. It will get so hot in the summer you'd burn your ha d touching it.

While it's entertaining it's hard to imagine why someone would actually buy it. It's been demonstrated many times over that weight isn't a big factor in gas mileage, and with a trailer that long one would still want a vehicle with a good sized wheelbase to tow it.

One might speculate that it's well made and really nice inside (there are zero pictures of the inside, and it's not in the video either), but there are many others that are well made and nice inside and cost an order of magnitude less.

Now if they could make it for 40-50K with very good quality they might have something.

That is Class A territory. More in a Class A for the money IMO.

I like the look, but that is about it. People who can afford that don't typically have any interest in camping. It is all hotels and service. Also, some people who have that kind of funds would likely be very fiscally savvy and IF they were to go camping they would make a more sensible choice w.r.t value for money. Airstreams are in business and remain in largely because they have that niche. There are other manufacturers that build higher quality without the need to use carbon fibre and drive up the cost unnecessarily (for this type of vehicle).
