You'll need a double wide site

Good Luck,

Unique concept, but they "suggest" in the video that "any SUV will do" by depicting the tow vehicle as an older Jeep Cherokee size..... With the mechanisms to deploy that trailer, the solar system depicted and the sheer size, it's not going to be a "lightweight"...

And yeah, with the tight spaces in current parks where opposing slides make things tight, that's definitely going to challenge the "good neighbor" aspect of "suburban camping".....

At $10,000+ per foot it's definitely out of my price range, unique or not.
If you can afford one of those you could afford to build your own park & invite everyone that has one to come visit, probably would only need 1 site.

For that kind of dollars, I would look at a very large Cl A diesel pusher that may be a much better deal and will probably retain more value 8-10 years out. Of course, the Hollywood 'elite' will jump on the idea especially if someone tells them that it's eco friendly.

Here is a link to some other interesting designs. Shouldn't have an issue towing #3.

EDIT: Just watched the video at the end (ioCamper). Another interesting design - but fraught with mechanical issues.

Looks like #3 is 1/2 ton towable!

My first thought at looking at the Romotow was that if it’s brought to the US it needs railings on the deck or some fool will fall off while drunk. Of course then, I about fell out of my chair at the price! So, apparently my chair also needs railings...

Hey! That thing looks pretty spiffy....and the EASY setup! Plus, as they mention, the "lighter" weight will improve your mileage while towing!!! Just think, you could recoup that extra 300k in, errrr, well.....hmmmm….well, a quick jot with the pencil using some pretty realistic numbers seems to say you could get your money back from the mileage savings in about.....5,400,000 miles. Looks like one would have to spring for the "appeal" factor

One of their big selling points is that due to all the composites and weight savings it improves your mileage.............like at that price who would really give a rats behind about mileage?

I disagree with the title of the piece that it “makes camping cool again.” Camping has always been cool.

Actual site is www.marchi-mobile.com
Base price is $2 mil and their site says for the discriminating owner they have a $3 mil version.

Maybe you can get a better price with a favorable exchange rate?

I bet the black and grey tank handles will still be mismarked.
