When Jeremy, James and Richard had a go at building their own campervans, it didn't go entirely well. There were fires. There were altercations with petrol stations. There were rubbish Bauhaus gardens.


But what if we'd been given a budget of $3,000,000 instead of, well, £3? We may well have come up with this - it's the eleMMent Palazzo. And the roll call of gadgets is rather more attention-grabbing than some MDF and a few lightly soiled sleeping bags. We'll give them that.

Austrian car company, Marchi Mobile, have equipped its latest 40-foot ogre with a bar, rainfall shower, pop-up roof terrace and working, wood-burning fireplace. It also glows in the dark (you get a special controller so you can design its external lighting from the comfort of, err, somewhere else).

1. It's pretty, but you're still going to be parking at KOA or the Walmart parking lot

:)

3. Wouldn't that be KO"E"? n/t

2. I would hate to get caught in a wind storm

It would be like driving a barn down the highway.

4. Take the $4.8 Million and

1) Buy a nice house and car
2) Have enough money left over to rent fancy hotel rooms for the rest of your life.

You won't have to steer a behemoth on the road, and you'll have a better view than the Walmart parking lot. Plus, you'll get room service, and won't have to change your own sheets.

Not to mention what you'll save in gas, though I doubt that's a consideration for anyone willing to spend $4.8 Million for this monstrosity!

5. Actually, I've always wanted to live in an RV.

If I ever won the Lotto, that's what I'd do. Get a small RV (One of those built on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis, not one of those mega-monster busses) and drive cross country.

8. Interesting driving cockpit. It swivles?

Though the windshield wiper would make me dizzy.
